ABSNX SN Nozzles
Silicon Nitride Long Venturi Nozzle with Polyurethane Jacket
The ABSN(X) range comprises of Silicon Nitride lined long venturi nozzles with Polyurethane Jackets. The use of the Silicon Nitride liner reduces the weight of the nozzle by approximately 50% when compared to a standard nozzles of the same size – this reduces operator fatigue. Silicon Nitride is also more durable than other nozzle liners making and operating life of over 500 hours possible. The Polyurethane Jacket cushions the liner in tough job site conditions. The molding of the polyurethane is carried out by vacuum which guarantees an accurate fit into the nozzle holder.

Product description
The ABSN nozzle has a 25 mm (1”) inlet and the ABSNX has a 32 mm (1¼”) inlet and are available with a standard large thread (/50) or fine thread.
Airblast high velocity venturi style nozzles have been designed to maximize blast cleaning rates and provide uni- form abrasive distribution. The venturi design accelerates the air / abrasive mix as it exits the nozzle providing additional momentum – this can increase productivity and reduce abrasive consumption by up to 40% when com- pared with straight bore nozzles.
Airblast offers a full selection of nozzles with various orifice sizes, nozzle lengths, insert and liner materials. Contact Airblast to discuss which nozzle is most suitable for your specific application.

Note: Best performance is obtained when sizes of nozzle, blast machine piping, blast hose and air hose are properly matched.
- m³/min and CFM range is based on blasting at 7 bar (100 psi) for the life of the
- Blast machine capacity should allow 20 to 30 minutes of blasting.
- Hose ID should be three to four times the size of the nozzle

Chart shows calculated consumption rates of air and abrasive for new nozzles. When slecting a compressor add 50% to above figures to allow for normal nozzle wear and friction loss.
* Based on abrasive density of 1,5 kgs. per liter.
NOTE: Figures may vary depending upon working conditions. To maintain desired air pressure as nozzle orifice wears, air consumption increases.
The effects of nozzle wear on air consumption must be considered when selecting nozzles and the compressors that support them.
