 Good Nozzle Practice – suggestions:

Choosing best blast cleaning nozzle for sandblasting productively shouldn’t be difficult, when you know your compressors CFM rating and match it with nozzle bore size!

So, you are looking to optimize performance of your blast cleaning system? What should you be looking at first? The simple answer is look at your compressor’s air output and how to use available air to select the best size of the sandblasting nozzle to maximize blast cleaning productivity. Most efficient blast cleaning systems will need sufficient compressed air to supply continually at least 95 to 100 PSI at the blast cleaning nozzle. There are situations where less forceful blast cleaning may be needed using softer abrasives, under these circumstances, a lower nozzle psi might be acceptable.

Effects of a worn nozzle on blast cleaning performance and productivity:

(1) blast cleaning pressure drop

(2) loss of impact velocity and surface cleaning/profiling performance

(3) increasing need for additional compressed air resulting in lower productivity.

Nozzle Bore Size:

If you choose a nozzle with too small a bore and have plenty of air available you could be sacrificing additional blast cleaning capacity. If you choose a nozzle with too large a bore and don’t have enough compressed air to reach a nozzle pressure of 100 psi you won’t be able to blast clean productively. This is why knowing your compressor’s CFM rating is very important when choosing your sandblasting nozzle.
