Nozzle types & styles

A nozzle is a technical device for influencing a fluid as it passes from a pipe flow into free space. A, nozzle is the end of the pipe and does not do any work, but changes between speed and static pressure, thus is passively involved.

A nozzle can accelerate a fluid along a pressure gradient, form a solid or viscous mass (without lumps) and/or atomize a liquid substance.

Nozzles are used for the following applications:

• Degreasing of surfaces
• Moistening and cleaning during paper production
• PCB Cleaning
• Mixing, disinfection, cooling of medicines
• Pasteurisation, clarification/filtration of food
• Painting and phosphating of vehicles
• Fire sprinkling
• Cleaning, lubrication, blowing off in mechanical engineering
• Spraying of plants (precise, for the sake of the environment)
• High pressure cleaning of surfaces when cleaning e.g. terrace stones
• Vacuum cleaners, airplanes, rockets

Nozzles are used in the following industries:

• Metal construction
• Environmental Technology
• Agricultural engineering
• Industry
• Pharmacy
