<\/p>\nAs a dedicated manufacturer of spray nozzles, IKEUCHI, The Fog Engineers, have developed a variety of nozzles made from different materials to meet our customers’ applications and requirements.
\nBelow is a list of materials used for nozzles and components. For special applications, please contact us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
*2) The heat resistance (operating temperature limit) of spray nozzles varies widely depending on the operating conditions, environment, liquid sprayed, etc.
\n*3) Ceramic should be used at temperatures under 100\u02daC to avoid a crack caused by heat shock.
\nNote: For nozzles that include adhesives, consider the chemical resistance of the adhesive.<\/p>\n
When spraying chemicals or using spray nozzles in corrosive environments, it is essential to use chemical-resistant materials to prevent deterioration of the nozzles. Our standard nozzle materials include stainless steel 303, brass, and plastic, with some series featuring a ceramic orifice (CERJET\u00ae).<\/p>\n
The CERJET is a metal nozzle primarily made of stainless steel 303 with a ceramic orifice. This ceramic orifice offers exceptional resistance to wear and chemicals, and it withstands most acids and highly corrosive substances, except for hydrofluoric acid and alkali liquids with a pH of 12 or higher. However, because the epoxy resin adhesive is used to bond the ceramic orifices to the metal body, in applications where the adhesive or the metal nozzle body may be corroded, we recommend using the CERTIIM\u00ae nozzle, which features an engineered plastic body molded around a ceramic orifice, as it provides exceptional chemical resistance. The temperature a spray nozzle can withstand varies greatly depending on the environmental conditions and the properties of the spray liquid. Nozzle tips and orifices are constantly subjected to the flow of high speed liquid exposing them to wear. If the liquid is circulated and re-used, slurry and other dirt particles will enter, wearing tips and orifices out even faster.<\/p>\n Increased wear will narrow the spray angle of a flat spray nozzle and worsen its spray distribution. The shaded area indicates the excess spray flow from a stainless steel nozzle relative to a CERJET\u00ae during the same spray time (t). The CERJET is recommended for applications requiring wear-resistant nozzles, including high-pressure cleaning and for use with liquids containing slurry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cat_technical_report":[551],"tag_technical_report":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/technical-report\/6861"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/technical-report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/technical-report"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_technical_report","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_technical_report?post=6861"},{"taxonomy":"tag_technical_report","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_technical_report?post=6861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe CERJET includes several product series, such as the VP Series flat spray nozzles<\/a><\/span>, the KB Series hollow cone spray nozzles<\/a><\/span>, and the CP Series solid stream spray nozzles<\/a><\/span>.
\nFor more information, please contact us with your specific application needs and requirements.<\/p>\n
\nThe CERTIIM is available in VP<\/span><\/a> and VEP<\/a><\/span> Series (VP-TPVDF<\/span><\/a> and VEP-TPVDF<\/a><\/span>).
\nIn addition to our standard materials, nozzles in optional or special materials are available on a made-to-order basis.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/catalog-0005-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\nHeat Resistance<\/h3>\n
\nFor nozzles including adhesives it is important to also consider the heat resistance of the adhesive.
\nThe ceramic tips of CERJET\u00ae will crack if abruptly cooled down from high temperatures (200\u00b0C).
\nAlumina ceramics will crack due to temperature changes of 100\u00b0C or more.<\/p>\nWear Resistance<\/h3>\n
\nIn hollow cone spray nozzles, an air core is generated in the center of a vortex. This can cause wear at the tip of the air core, especially if the spraying liquid contains slurry or the like.
\nThe ceramic orifice of CERJET spray nozzle has an outstanding wear-resistance, with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. It can last 20\u201330 times longer than stainless steel nozzles and several hundred times longer than brass ones.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n The figure shows the increase in flow for each nozzle due to worn orifices.<\/p>\n
\nIf the spray liquid is agricultural chemicals, it could cause crop injury.
\nIn high-pressure cleaning, worn nozzles cause the pump pressure to drop and the cleaning effect will rapidly degraded.<\/p>\n
\nThe VNP<\/span> Series<\/a> is one of them.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/catalog-0005-3-448x338.jpg\")
