• A QUICK GUIDE TO SANDBLASTING NOZZLES

• Abrasive blasting is when a stream of abrasive
  material, such as sand, is propelled under high
  pressure onto a surface.
• There are many reasons one might want to use
  abrasive blasting
• Smooth a rough surface
• Roughen a smooth surface
• Shape a surface
• Remove surface contaminants

• In 1870, the first abrasive blasting process was
  patented. Since then the industry has come along
  way to perfect the operation and materials used.
• The modern-day nozzle can cope even in the
  harshest of environments.
• On the following pages we are going to give a
  brief description of the types of nozzles
  available.

VENTURI NOZZLES

• If you need a nozzle to evenly distribute and
  accelerate your abrasive material over a large
  blast pattern look no further. The long-styled
  venturi nozzle will yield roughly a 40 greater
  production compared to the straight bore style.

SPECIAL VENTURI NOZZLES

• Looking for even more from your venturi nozzle?
  XL performance has arrived. With increases in
  abrasive velocity, this nozzle will improve your
  production rates and efficiencies. Utilizing the
  identical air requirements as the standard
  venturi nozzle but made from very lightweight
  materials, like SiAION, helps keep the weight
  down and ensures less operator fatigue.

6
ANGLED NOZZLES

• Tight spaces require the right tools. Whether
  youre working on bridge lattice or inside pipes,
  angled nozzles will get the job done. These
  nozzles can be made from tungsten carbide, boron
  carbide, and ROCTEC composite carbide. Dont
  waste time and supplies make sure you have an
  angled nozzle in your tool chest.

7
STRAIGHT BORE NOZZLES

• Have a small job, like cleaning railings or
  grillwork? The straight bore nozzle is your guy.
  This nozzle is great for close-range spot
  blasting with its small abrasive pattern and
  minimal overblast.

8
WET BLAST NOZZLES

• Need a wet blast system to work with your current
  pressure blasting equipment? The WIN system
  (Water Induction Nozzle) can utilize water from a
  tap or with rust inhibitors simply presented
  through any pump no need for additional
  equipment. WIN comes in tungsten carbide or BP200
  SiAION.
