Product Information
ITW Vortec’s blowoff nozzles and jets are designed to reduce compressed air consumption and noise drastically, compared to open jets.
To accomplish impressive air savings, we incorporate the proven Transvector® amplification principle in our nozzle and jet designs. When compressed air enters the nozzle or jet, it fills a chamber with only one exit path – a 0.002″ (0.051 mm) annular orifice. As air passes through this orifice, it accelerates to 1000 feet (304.8m) per second, entraining free surrounding air as it exits. The result is airflow volume up to 25 times more than compressed air supplied.
Superior to hydraulic or piezoelectric spray nozzles, Sprayvectors accelerate air-liquid interaction and produce defined spray patterns that can be widely diffused or highly directed. These unique spray nozzles introduce low pressure (2-20 PSIG) liquids into large internal passages to eliminate clogging.
Three models are available; Atomizing or Fogging styles deliver a dense, directable, high velocity spray for viscosities up to 1100 CPS, while the Humidifying model produces a very diffused, low velocity spray for viscosities up to 100 CPS. All styles feature a control knob for precise, fingertip adjustment of liquid flow rates. Water, chemicals, rust inhibitors, cleaners, solvents, preservatives, insecticides, lubricants and a wide diversity of other fluids can be dispensed.
