Step by Step Guide – Choosing Atomizing Spray Nozzles

EB1040SS

Atomizing spray nozzles atomize fluids to create a fine spray in a variety of patterns for a variety of uses. They are commonly used to mark products, paint or coat, cool, reduce dust, lubricate and clean parts.

With the numerous types of Atomizing Nozzles sold by EXAIR, it can be challenging to shift through all the information. We can help you to narrow down the field to quickly find the correct Atomizing Nozzle for your application.  In a summary, here are the basic questions that need to be answered:

1.) Are you using a pressurized liquid feed?

2.) What is the viscosity of the fluid?

3.) What is the liquid feed rate in gallons per hour (gph) or liters per hour (lph).

4.)  Should I use the No-Drip option?

EXAIR’s flow chart with easy-to-follow steps will walk you through the decision tree and land you at the best Atomizing Spray Nozzle for your application. In answering these simple questions, this chart will guide you to the correct page in our current catalog to get additional information and specifications.    Click on Link below to determine the best nozzle for you.

No Drip Atomizing Nozzle Improves Deep Drawn Metal Process

The other day, I had the pleasure of helping a caller select an Atomizing Spray Nozzle for a particular application. They needed to apply a thin, quick drying coat of vanishing oil to the inside diameter of a round, deep drawn metal part. They were currently flooding the ID with it, and the part had to sit overnight to dry.

Since it was a cylindrical hole, it sounded like an ideal application for a Round Pattern nozzle, and, since they didn’t have an easy way to pressurize the oil source, we selected a Model SR2040SS No-Drip Siphon Fed Round Pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzle. By adjusting the siphon height and air pressure applied, they were able to quickly achieve the desired flow pattern and coating thickness.

Now, they’re able to take the part directly to the next step in their fabrication process, without the overnight drying cycle.
