EXAIR Atomizing Spray Nozzles<\/a> use compressed air to atomize liquid flow. Across the product line, we offer a wide range of liquid flow rates. Model SF8010SS Siphon Fed Flat Fan Pattern 1\/8 NPT Atomizing Spray Nozzle can get as low as 0.14 gallons per hour. That\u2019s about a quarter of an ounce \u2013 a little less than two teaspoons \u2013 per minute. On the other end of the spectrum, Model EF5010SS External Mix Narrow Angle Flat Fan Pattern 1\/2 NPT Atomizing Spray Nozzle<\/a> can provide up to 303 gallons per hour of liquid flow (we tested with water; if you\u2019re spraying something else \u2013 especially if the viscosity or specific gravity is different \u2013 your mileage may vary.) That\u2019s about 5 gallons per minute, or approximately twice the amount of flow from a typical kitchen faucet.<\/p>\n

Both of those Atomizing Spray Nozzles create flat fan patterns:<\/p>\n

Flat Fan pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzles are ideal for rinsing wine bottles, spraying rust inhibitor on parts on a conveyor, or rinsing wine bottles. I know I mentioned wine bottles twice\u2026I like wine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Flat Fan Pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzles <\/a>can generate flat fans as narrow as 3\u2033 (at a distance of 6\u2033 from the spray tip) or as wide as 68\u2033 (at a distance of 15\u2033 from the spray tip.) They\u2019re available for Internal Mix, External Mix, or Siphon Fed operation. Most of them spray straight out from the Air Cap, as shown above, but Model AD1010SS<\/a> (right) has a Deflected Fan Pattern, so it sprays at a right angle to the Spray Nozzle\u2019s orientation. They\u2019re particularly well-suited for installation in tight spaces or anywhere that space is at a premium.<\/p>\n

Other applications call for round patterns. These are great for dust mitigation, humidification, applying paint or lubrication, light misting, or heavy soaking, just to name a few. They can make round patterns with diameters as small as 1.5\u2033 (at a distance of 6\u2033 from the spray tip) to 31\u2033 (at a distance of 15\u2033 from the spray tip.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Round pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzles are popularly used for applying lubricating fluid to machine tools, flame retardant to wood trim, and color code marking on metal bars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

EXAIR also makes 360\u00b0 Hollow Circular Pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzles<\/a>. These are Internal Mix models, and they spray the liquid out in a fine, atomized mist in all directions. They can spray as little as 1.6 gallons per hour, or as much as 150 gallons per hour, and can create spraying diameters of up to 13 feet.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
360\u00b0 Hollow Circular Pattern Atomizing Spray Nozzles are great for applying a smooth, even coating to the ID of a pipe, cylinder, or duct. They can also be used for misting, humidification, and cooling of large areas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If you need a consistent, reliable mist of atomized liquid, we\u2019ve got you covered. To discuss an application or product selection, give me a call<\/a>.<\/p>\n
