With inhalation using a mask, NaCl solutions, brine of different concentrations, as well as suitable inhalable additive solutions can be finely nebulized and applied. The generated mist is guided through a low-pressure airflow from the inhalation capsule through a tube into the mask. The mask fits comfortably on the horse's nose and creates a generous area in front of the nostrils where the mist is evenly distributed.
Compared to other inhalation systems, we rely on masks made of high-quality, food-grade PE plastic in a practical bucket shape. This allows your horse to breathe freely, calmly, and relaxed – without a constricting feeling caused by valves or tight seals.
A relaxed and even breathing significantly contributes to a comfortable application. That is why the system is designed so that your horse can stand as calmly as possible and breathe stress-free during inhalation. The aerosols generated by ultrasound are finely nebulized and evenly distributed. Thanks to adjustable intensity settings and air control, the device can be individually adapted and used efficiently.
Even when used with suitable additives or inhalation agents, the flexible control allows for needs-based nebulization. Depending on the application, the nebulizer output can be individually adjusted.
"Our nebulizers equosonic Free, Private and Clinic in comparison"
The latest inhaler in our range: The equosonic free is a powerful ultrasonic nebulizer that is mobile as an "all-in-one solution" and comes to you in a practical transport case. We have designed our best ultrasonic technology to be as compact as possible and combined it with an ergonomic mask. Thanks to the two-chamber system, saline, brine, and medications can be nebulized very hygienically. This keeps cleaning simple and straightforward. Our inhalation capsules ensure very low wear on the device, so follow-up costs are very low.
As a world first, there is an additional add-on for our new inhaler. With the new inhalation sticks, therapy can be made even more effective. Various types, such as eucalyptus, thyme, sage, and lavender, can support aromatherapy for different issues. The inhalation sticks are not included in the delivery.

Which size suits me?
The equosonic free is currently available in two sizes. For smaller animals with short noses, we recommend the pony mask, e.g., ponies, Haflingers, Icelandic horses. For horses from the size of thoroughbred or warmblood, we recommend the mask in the standard size. For very broad noses, we recommend purchasing our large padding additionally.
The Technology
Ultrasonic nebulizers are used for nebulizing inhalation solutions in the respiratory application area. Aerosol generation occurs via mechanical vibrations at a frequency of 1.7 MHz, which are produced in distilled water (contact water). These vibrations are generated by piezoceramic components that convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations.
To physically separate the nebulizer and nebulization unit, an aquapak® system is used within the contact liquid. The mechanical vibrations are transmitted through its base and spread in the inhalation liquid. Fine capillary waves form on the surface of the NaCl or inhalation solution, which increase with rising excitation frequency and enable aerosol formation.
The ultrasonic nebulizers of the equosonic series produce particle sizes of approx. 0.5 to 5 µm with a nebulization output of up to 6.5 ml/min. The generated aerosol spectrum can be distributed in different areas of the respiratory tract depending on particle size, breathing technique, and application situation.
Compared to technically simpler compressor nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers work with high-frequency mechanical vibrations, which can produce fine aerosol particles. In the literature, particle sizes under 5 µm are described in connection with applications in respiratory inhalation.
Over 95% of the surface of the respiratory system is located below the larynx. The bronchial system has extremely fine branches with very small diameters. Therefore, particle size plays a crucial role in the distribution of aerosol particles within the airways.
The ultrasonic nebulizers of the equosonic Privat, equosonic Klinik, and equosonic free series operate with a ceramic membrane frequency of 1.7 MHz and produce aerosol particles in a size range of approx. 0.5 to 5 µm.
For the most even distribution of the aerosol, calm and relaxed breathing during application is recommended. Therefore, the animal should stand as still as possible during inhalation and not be moved intensively immediately before or directly after the application.
The Open Mask
Our inhalation mask is made of high-quality, food-safe PE plastic and does not require additional valves. Unlike closed mask systems, the animal does not have to actively inhale the aerosol mist. Instead, the generated mist is continuously fed into the mask via a ventilation system.
The open system allows for the most natural and relaxed breathing possible during application. Calm breathing can help aerosol particles distribute evenly in the airways. Due to the lower breathing speed during relaxed breathing, fine aerosols can also reach deeper areas of the respiratory tract.
The inhalers continuously introduce the generated aerosol into the mask while the animal can inhale and exhale the mist in a calm breathing situation.
Inhalation During Movement
We do not recommend inhalation during movement. During physical activity, the breathing pattern often changes to faster and shallower breathing. This can alter the distribution of aerosol particles within the airways.
For the most even inhalation, the animal should therefore stand still during the application. Movement after inhalation is generally possible with a time delay. However, immediately after the application, a short rest period is recommended first.

Inhaler for Horses Equosonic Private Starter Package
Ultrasonic nebulizers are used for nebulizing inhalation solutions in the field of respiratory applications. Aerosol generation occurs through mechanical vibrations at a frequency of 1.7 MHz, which are produced in distilled water (contact water). These vibrations are created by piezoceramic components that convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations.
An aquapak® system is used within the contact liquid to physically separate the nebulizer from the nebulization unit. The generated vibrations are transmitted through its base and then spread through the inhalation liquid.
Fine capillary waves form on the surface of the NaCl or inhalation solution, which intensify with increasing excitation frequency and enable the formation of an aerosol.
The ultrasonic nebulizers of the equosonic series produce particle sizes of approximately 0.5 to 5 µm with a nebulization rate of up to 5.5 ml/min. For average-sized horses, a rate of about 4 ml/min is often used. The generated aerosol can distribute in different areas of the respiratory tract depending on particle size, breathing technique, and application situation.
Compared to technically simpler compressor nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers operate with high-frequency mechanical vibrations and thus produce a fine aerosol spectrum. Over 95% of the surface of the respiratory system is located below the larynx. The bronchial system has extremely fine branches with very small diameters. Therefore, particle size plays a crucial role in the distribution of aerosol particles within the airways.
In the scientific literature, particle sizes under 5 µm are described in connection with applications where aerosol particles can also reach deeper areas of the respiratory system. This means that a large proportion of the generated aerosol particles should be in the range below 5 µm.
The package includes:
Equosonic Private
6 meters of tubing for 3 sets of 2 meters each
Extra-large inhalation mask 12 liters or normal 9 liters or small 7 liters (please select)
2 inhalation capsules
Disinfectant cleaner 1000 ml
Pharmaceutical salt approx. 100 g
Pharmaceutical saline 2% 1000 ml
Sampling spikes and syringes
3 pcs. connection hose (fan to inhalation capsule)
Please select the correct mask size for your horse:
12l volume for very large horses Dimensions: 28 cm opening x 19.5 cm base x 29 cm height, opening circumference about 85 cm, base circumference about 61 cm, suitable for large horse breeds or short, powerful noses (Shire horses, etc.)
9l volume for normal horses Dimensions: 26 cm opening x 19 cm base x 24 cm height, opening circumference about 80 cm, base circumference about 58 cm, suitable for most horse breeds such as warmbloods, larger riding ponies, Haflingers, etc.
7l volume for small horses Dimensions: 23 cm opening x 17 cm base x 21 cm height, opening circumference about 72 cm, base circumference about 53 cm, suitable for small to medium ponies
Our ultrasonic nebulizers of the equosonic series (Private, Clinic) operate with a ceramic membrane vibration frequency of 1.7 MHz. This produces durable particles in a size range of 0.5 – 5 µm (microns). Due to the high airflow speeds in the fine bronchioles, effective inhalation must be calm, i.e., with a low breathing rate. The animal should not be moved beforehand, and immediate movement after treatment is not advisable.
The open mask
Our inhalation mask is made of high-quality, food-grade PE plastic in bucket shape and does not require additional valves. Unlike closed mask systems, the animal does not have to actively inhale the aerosol mist. Instead, the generated mist is continuously directed into the mask via a ventilation system.

Due to the lower breathing speed during relaxed breathing, fine aerosols can also reach deeper areas of the respiratory tract.
Our inhalers continuously introduce the aerosol into the mask while the horse can inhale and exhale the mist calmly.
Inhalation during movement
We do not recommend inhalation during movement. Physical activity often changes the breathing pattern to faster and shallower breathing. This can alter the distribution of aerosol particles within the airways.
For as even inhalation as possible, the horse should stand as calmly as possible during the application. Movement after inhalation is generally possible with some time delay. However, immediately after the application, a short rest period of about 15 minutes is recommended. Regular exercise is important for horses in general but should not be combined directly with inhalation.

Great device
Great inhaler. You have to practice a bit with the handling. But once you get used to it, everything is great. I am inhaling a 10-month-old foal... He enjoys it and stands very calmly. After the second time inhaling, it was absolutely no problem anymore. The mucus is finally coming out now.

Very satisfied!!!
"I am very satisfied with my new inhaler! The handling and cleaning are super uncomplicated and the nebulization performance is top-notch! The battery also lasts a long time. I chose the short mask for my Icelandic horses, and it fits perfectly, despite the large skull of one of them! I previously tried an inhaler from another brand, but this one doesn't come close to the Equosonic free from Hartwig! My horses visibly enjoy the inhalation with this device!!!"

Uncomplicated process
'The order went smoothly and was delivered very quickly. The inhaler makes a great impression and is very easy to use. The only downside is that there are no "plugs" on the Aquapack to protect against dust, etc.'
Otherwise, an absolute recommendation.

Completely satisfied!
"I am totally excited about the inhaler with the transparent mask!"
"My two horses, who are usually quite skeptical at first, were completely relaxed during the inhalation from the very beginning; the open mask is very suitable for my asthmatic. The handling is super easy and the cleaning is done quickly."
"I was also helped directly over the phone with my user error. 👍"
I would be happy to recommend the device!

Super device at a great price!
The inhaler is great! Easy to use, well made, with all accessories and even "replacement material" so you don't have to buy anything for a long time! My horse accepts the inhalation bucket without any problems. The device nebulizes many ML in a short time and makes absolutely no loud noises while doing so. On top of that, everything can be kept clean easily! I am thrilled and wouldn't know what another, perhaps more expensive device, could do better.

The power of salt
"For inhalation, we exclusively recommend pure pharmaceutical salt. This is mined in salt mines and subsequently processed according to the highest quality standards. Sea salt is no longer recommended for inhalation today due to the pollution of the seas. If you want to learn more about the topic of brine, read here a technical paper on this subject."
"You don't have a power outlet in the stable for using one of our devices? No problem! With our optionally available power bank, you can perform between 3 and 6 treatments and also have a flashlight with you."
