Nozzles are specifically engineered for four critical functions: flow control, cleaning,
coverage and atomizing.
It is important to filter solids from water, or any industrial
liquid, before they reach your spray nozzles.
Unwanted and oversized particles can block
the inside of an orifice, which in turn restricts water flow, impairs spray uniformity
and allows debris to pass through, which in turn ends up in your process or on your product.
The proper filtration will help keep the nozzle clear of debris enabling them to provide
uniform and consistent spray patterns.
For spray nozzle protection, careful media selection is essential.
The primary factor
to be considered is orifice size and shape of the nozzle opening. Other factors include
solids content, type of contaminant, particle size and shape, amount of contaminant to
be removed, liquid temperature and required flow rates.
For liquids other than water,
knowing the liquid's viscosity, corrosiveness, abrasiveness, and adhesive qualities are
essential in specifying the nozzle protection filter.
