FIELD: satisfaction of human life necessities.
SUBSTANCE: production of an aerosol-forming aperture plate blank for an inhalation medication nebulizer comprises providing a matrix of a conductive material, applying a protective coating in the form of a set of columns to the matrix, galvanizing the areas around the columns, removing the protective coating to form a blank of electroplated material with aerosol-forming holes in places where the columns of protective coating were, and removing the blank from the matrix. These columns have a depth in the range from 5 to 40 mcm, a width in the plane of the matrix in the range from 1 to 10 mcm, and a density in the range from 111 to 2500 mm-2. After the mentioned stages of applying the protective coating and galvanizing, at least one subsequent cycle of applying a protective coating and galvanizing on top of the mentioned electroplated material is carried out to increase the thickness of the blank. The total thickness of the blank in at least one subsequent cycle is adjusted to a value greater than 50 mcm. After removing protective coating, at least one subsequent cycle provides areas, at least some of which overlap with a lot of aerosol-forming holes and electroplated material which closes some of the aerosol-forming holes. At least one subsequent cycle is carried out in accordance with the desired flow rate through the aperture plate.
EFFECT: increased nebulizer performance.
