Why go for LSP Ceramic Nozzles? LSP ceramic nozzles are made from outstanding LSP ceramics that ensure high performance and lower overall job cost. " Superior energy efficiency " High discharge velocity " One-piece (no internal parts) " Highly Corrosion resistant " Highly mechanical and abrasion resistant Nozzle Spray Angles: 50° to 180° Nozzle Spray Patterns: Full Cone and Hollow Cone Nozzle Flow rates: 0.5 to 3320 gpm (2.26 to 10700 L/min) LSP ceramic nozzles are made from LSP ceramics that are manufactured using proprietary processes. LSP Ceramic Nozzles are at present available in 6 inch and 9 inch sizes. If needed, we can produce nozzles to customer specifications. Please contact us for details of your requirements. Sandblasting Nozzles The high-pressure stream of the abrasive at the end of the hose is constricted by the sandblasting nozzle and directs it at the project. The abrasive rushing through the nozzle enlarges the hole, and will eventually require replacement.

The nozzle service life depends on the following factors: (a) the type of abrasive used; (c) the compressor size; (c) the initial size of the nozzle orifice; (d) and the nozzle material. a. The speed of nozzle wearing out is directly proportional to the hardness and sharpness of abrasive; but it is, of course, also directly proportional to the speed of accomplishing the job. b. The bigger the orifice becomes, the greater the air volume required. The orifice will eventually get so large making the compressor run continuously and incapable of maintaining the proper pressure. The nozzle must be replaced in such condition. Example: A 3/32 ceramic nozzle used with a 2 HP compressor could enlarge the orifice to the point of need for replacement in one hour. The same nozzle with enlarged orifice can be used with a 5 HP compressor for an additional 1.5 hours, for a total of 2.5 hours due to the capacity of the bigger compressor to produce higher volume of air. c. Use of a nozzle with a smaller orifice means money savings. The smaller the nozzle hole the longer time it will take to enlarge to the point of need for replacement. A nozzle with 1/16" orifice is, therefore, a better choice than one with 3/32". d. Carbide is more wear resistant than ceramics. However, service life of cost of carbide, can hardly offset its cost, which is about six times more than that of ceramics.

LSP ceramic nozzles are designed to strike a balance among these factors to give you greater efficiency and reliability at reduced cost. Pesticide Nozzles Proper selection of nozzle type and size is essential for optimum pesticide application. The nozzle is a major determining factor in achieving the desired: (a) amount of spray applied to an area; (b) coverage on the target surface; (c) uniformity of application; (c) and amount of potential drift. Use of LSP ceramic nozzles can ensure achievement of these objectives. Spray Particle Size Nozzle Materials Nozzles can be made from several materials, including brass, nylon, stainless steel, hardened stainless steel, and ceramic. Stainless steel nozzles last longer than brass or nylon and generally produce a more uniform pattern over a longer time. Nylon nozzles with stainless steel or hardened stainless steel inserts offer an alternative to solid stainless steel nozzles at a reduced cost. Thermoplastic nozzles have good abrasion resistance, but swelling can occur with some chemicals. They are easily damaged when cleaned. Ceramic nozzles, most especially those made from LSP ceramics have the longest life, and in the long-run most cost effective.
