ABCX BC Long Venturi Nozzles
ABC(X)
The ABC(X) range comprises of Boron Carbide lined long venturi nozzles with an Aluminum Jacket. Boron Carbide is the most durable liner available – therefore these nozzles perform especially well with aggressive abrasives such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and steel grit, and are therefore often used in blast rooms.

Product description
The ABC(X) 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 uniform 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 compared 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.

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.
