Which nozzle for sandblasting? What types are there?

Which nozzle for sandblasting? Choosing the right sandblasting nozzle is a key factor that affects the efficiency, precision, and durability of the entire abrasive blasting process. Depending on the type of sandblaster and the material being treated, it's important to select a specific nozzle type. In this article, we explain which sandblasting nozzle is suitable for a siphon sandblaster under different working conditions, and we present the available types of sandblasting nozzles.

How to choose a sandblasting nozzle?

A well-chosen nozzle influences the speed of work, abrasive consumption, and compressed air usage. When selecting one, several key factors should be considered:

• Operating pressure and compressor output – larger nozzle diameters require a higher air flow rate.
• Type of abrasive material – harder materials wear out nozzles faster.
• Type of surface being treated – smaller nozzles are used for delicate elements, larger ones for large surfaces.
• Type of sandblaster – different nozzles are suitable for cabinet sandblasters versus siphon sandblasters.

If you're wondering how to choose a sandblasting nozzle, pay attention to compatibility with the device and abrasion resistance. In the siphon sandblasters offered by Cormak, you’ll find models compatible with various nozzle types – from ceramic to carbide.

Types of sandblasting nozzles

Several types of nozzles are available on the market, differing in material, shape, and purpose. Here are the most common types of sandblasting nozzles:

• Ceramic nozzles – lightweight, economical, intended for lighter work. Ideal for cabinet sandblasters like those in Cormak’s cabinet sandblaster range.
• Tungsten carbide nozzles – very durable and wear-resistant, ideal for working with hard abrasives.
• Boron carbide nozzles – the most durable, used in heavy industry and for intensive usage.
• Conical or Venturi nozzles – provide greater abrasive acceleration, resulting in more efficient sandblasting.
• Straight nozzles – focus the abrasive stream, ideal for precision tasks.

The specific choice depends on technical requirements and usage intensity.

Which nozzle for a siphon sandblaster?

For siphon sandblasters, Venturi nozzles made of durable materials like tungsten or boron carbide work best. They offer better efficiency and reduce abrasive consumption. The models available from the industrial machine manufacturer Cormak are compatible with such nozzles, allowing you to adapt the equipment to even the most demanding tasks.

Why choose a trusted manufacturer?

Selecting the right nozzles and machines should always be based on trust in the manufacturing quality. Cormak, as a reputable industrial machine manufacturer, offers not only a wide range of sandblasters but also compatible accessories and spare parts – ensuring equipment longevity and workplace safety.
