Sand Blasting Nozzles
The sand blasting nozzles are used to direct the flow of abrasive media. They are available in a wide variety of varieties depending on applications. Blasting nozzle comes in various sizes and are chosen based on the needs of the customers. The performance of a sand blasting machine depends on the type of nozzle used during blasting. Bore plays an important role inside the blast nozzle, sufficient pressure must be applied for better blasting.
Types of Sand Blasting Nozzle
There are following types of the sand blasting nozzles given below.
- Straight Bore sand Blasting Nozzle.
- Wide Throat Shot Blasting Nozzle.
- Double Venturi Shot Blasting Nozzle.
- Venturi Nozzle Sandblasting Nozzle.
Nozzle selection should be based on two factors:
- The shape of the nozzle
- Material of nozzle
Grit & Abrasive Blasting Nozzle
Compressors also play an important role in nozzle selection. The pressure created at the nozzle depends on the amount of compressed air per minute in the compressor. The higher the volume of compressed air, the higher the pressure will be at the nozzle. The higher pressure will increase the speed of the abrasive media and provide more kinetic energy which helps improve the production rate. The nozzle which has good air pressure should be selected for proper blasting. A longer size should be used in a larger form to continuously destroy and also increase productivity.
Therefore, for larger surface blasting purposes, longer venturi nozzles are used which can be used at higher pressures for larger air and sand vents. Larger nozzles are mainly preferred to refill bridges and for all larger applications that cannot be completed using smaller nozzles. On the other hand, medium and small size nozzles are used to perform small operations such as preparing the surface for additional thermal spray gun or coating.
Nozzles of different materials are used for various applications such as aluminum oxide, also known as tungsten carbide or ceramic, which is made of high-density metal. Other nozzles, such as boron sand blasting nozzles, are used with very rigid abrasive media. Roctec Blast Nozzle is also used for blasting applications. They provide great resistance to friction but are very expensive. They are available in all sizes.
Most nozzles have a thread size of 1-1 / 4 inches. Although different thread sizes are available for various sand blasting applications.
