Tips

Airless nozzles, also known as airless spray tips, are essential components in airless guns used to apply paint, coatings and other finishing materials under high pressure. These tips affect the flow and pattern of your spray, helping to achieve a smooth, controlled finish. Here is some important information about airless nozzles:

  1. Role of Nozzles: Airless nozzles determine the shape of the spray pattern (fan or cone) and regulate material flow.
  2. Types of Patterns: Airless nozzles are available in different pattern configurations, such as fan, cone, and pointed patterns. These patterns may vary according to the needs of the application, the surface to be painted and the type of material used.
  3. Number and Size: Airless nozzles are classified according to their number (single, double or other) and their size. Nozzle sizes are usually expressed in micro-inches, indicating the diameter of the nozzle opening and the flow rate.
  4. Material Flow: Tip size affects material flow and the amount of paint or coating dispensed during application.
  5. Pressure and Materials: Choosing the right tip is also influenced by the spray pressure and the type of material used. Different tips may require different spray pressures to achieve the desired pattern and flow.
  6. Material of Construction: Airless nozzles are often made of wear and corrosion resistant materials to withstand high pressure and contact with finishing materials. WIT airless nozzles are made exclusively of the best quality tungsten carbide.
  7. Replacement and Maintenance: Airless nozzles can wear out over time and affect the quality of your spraying. It is important to replace the nozzles according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and clean them regularly to prevent the openings from clogging.
  8. Selection: Choosing the right airless tip depends on material viscosity, desired spray pattern, spray pressure, and other application-specific factors.

Airless nozzles play a crucial role in achieving high quality painting results with airless guns. Selecting the appropriate nozzles based on your application needs and following the manufacturer’s recommendations is essential to achieving a consistent and controlled finish.
