 Cold Jet Nozzle Performance: A Deep Dive 

Cold Jet offers a range of nozzles designed to meet the diverse needs of various applications and ergonomics. Each nozzle type has specific characteristics that influence its performance and suitability for different tasks. Let's delve into the key differences between High Flow, Standard Flow and Low Flow nozzles.


 

 

 High Flow Nozzles:

  • Designed for: Heavy-duty cleaning applications requiring high material removal rates
  • Key Features: Larger blast swath, high air consumption and increased material consumption
  • Ideal Applications: Removing heavy coatings, brittle contaminations and other stubborn contaminants

Standard Flow Nozzles:

  • Designed for: General-purpose cleaning tasks and medium-duty applications
  • Key Features: Balanced air consumption and material consumption, offering versatility
  • Ideal Applications: Our most popular nozzles are perfectly suited for the standard air supply systems commonly found in manufacturing environments

Low Flow Nozzles:

  • Designed for: Precise cleaning and delicate applications requiring minimal material consumption.
  • Key Features: Small orifice size, low air consumption and reduced material consumption
  • Ideal Applications: Cleaning sensitive surfaces, such as optics, medical equipment and historical artifacts.

Choosing the Right Nozzle:

To select the optimal nozzle for your specific application, consider the following factors:

  • Material to be removed: The type and thickness of the material will determine the required nozzle size and flow rate
  • Surface sensitivity: Delicate surfaces may require a lower flow rate and smaller particle size to avoid damage
  • Desired cleaning speed: A higher flow rate can accelerate the cleaning process, but it may also increase material consumption
  • Air Supply Considerations: To optimize cleaning efficiency and minimize environmental impact, consider your available air supply. High-flow nozzles can maximize cleaning power when sufficient air is available, while low-flow nozzles offer effective cleaning with reduced air consumption  

Remember:

  • Proper nozzle selection is crucial for achieving optimal cleaning results and maximizing the efficiency of your dry ice blasting operation
  • By carefully evaluating these factors and consulting with Cold Jet Sales & Service, you can select the most suitable nozzle for your cleaning needs

By understanding the nuances of each nozzle type, you can optimize your dry ice blasting operations and achieve exceptional results For further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our technical support team.
