ABRASIVE 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.

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.

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.

SPECIAL VENTURI NOZZLES

Tight spaces require the right tools. Whether you’re 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. Don’t

waste time and supplies; make sure you have an angled nozzle in your tool

chest.

ANGLED 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.

STRAIGHT BORE 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.

WET BLAST NOZZLES

If you are in the market for portable abrasive blasting equipment or

sandblasting then Big A’s Place is where you need to be. They supply nozzles

by Pirate Brand, Kennametal, and Malyn Ceramics.
