Stainless steel hex nozzle with threaded connection and fine tip

Air Atomizing Nozzle

Air Atomized Nozzle

An air atomized nozzle breaks liquid into fine droplets using compressed air, which is essential when a process requires precise humidification, cooling, dust suppression, or surface treatment without wetting the target. This CNSS air atomized nozzle uses air to atomize liquid at the point of discharge, allowing for a fine spray with droplet sizes around 30 microns. The design supports adjustable liquid flow while maintaining consistent air pressure, making it suitable for applications where a uniform mist is needed across a wide area or over a moving surface.

Key Benefits

What This Nozzle Gives You

  • Produces fine droplets around 30 microns using air to atomize liquid, ideal for gentle humidification and dust control
  • Adjustable liquid flow rate allows spray pattern to be tailored to process needs without changing air pressure
  • Available in inner mixed and external mixed types, with inner mixed suited for fine atomization and external mixed for higher viscosity liquids
  • Sprays up to 3 meters, reducing the need for high-pressure systems and complex piping
  • Nozzle body has separate liquid and air inlets clearly marked as LIQUID/L and AIR/A, reducing installation errors
  • Long service life and easy installation compared to high-pressure fog systems, with lower piping and maintenance costs

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Installed

  • Humidification in high-temperature wax, cement, or ceramic factories where fine mist is needed without wetting surfaces
  • Dust suppression in metallurgical or injection molding plants where a wide-area mist reduces airborne particles
  • Cooling of hot surfaces or materials in industrial processes where direct water contact is not allowed
  • Disinfection in manufacturing or processing lines requiring even distribution of liquid without pooling
  • Surface treatment lines needing a consistent, low-volume mist for coating or cleaning without overspray

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify It

  • Maintenance engineers in cement or metallurgical plants replacing worn misting systems
  • Process engineers designing dust control or humidification systems for high-temperature environments
  • OEM machine builders integrating misting into production lines with space or pressure constraints
  • Facility managers upgrading from high-pressure fog systems to lower-cost, longer-life alternatives
  • Installers of cooling and disinfection systems in food processing or textile facilities

Problems It Solves

What It Fixes on the Line

  • Inconsistent mist distribution caused by clogged or poorly designed high-pressure nozzles
  • High installation and maintenance costs from high-pressure piping and pumps
  • Short nozzle life due to erosion or scaling in high-pressure systems
  • Over-wetting or pooling when using conventional spray nozzles in sensitive processes
  • Difficulty in adjusting spray volume without changing pressure or flow rate

Technical Features

How It Is Built

  • Inner mixed and external mixed types available, with inner mixed for fine atomization and external mixed for viscous liquids
  • Two distinct inlets: one for liquid (marked LIQUID/L) and one for air (marked AIR/A), reducing misconnection risk
  • Adjustable liquid flow rate allows control over spray volume without altering air pressure
  • Spray patterns include flat fan, round, and wide-angle round for different coverage needs
  • Nozzle body constructed as a single unit with air cap and liquid cap, reducing leakage points
  • Capable of spraying up to 3 meters, suitable for overhead or remote application points

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

High pressure fog nozzleHigh pressure fog nozzles require pumps and thick piping, while this air atomized nozzle uses compressed air and standard tubing, reducing installation cost and maintenance
Full cone nozzleA full cone covers a circular area and is used for tank filling or gas cooling, but it cannot deliver a directional or adjustable fine mist like the air atomized nozzle
Spiral nozzleA spiral nozzle is designed to pass solids without clogging, but it does not produce the fine, uniform mist needed for humidification or dust control
Flat fan nozzleA flat fan nozzle delivers a sheet of liquid, which is not suitable for misting applications where droplet size and dispersion are critical

Use Guide

Fitting and Running It

  1. Confirm the required droplet size and spray distance before selecting the nozzle type
  2. Ensure air pressure is maintained at the required level, as it is essential for atomization
  3. Match the inlet thread size to the existing air and liquid supply lines
  4. Use inner mixed type for fine atomization and external mixed type for viscous liquids
  5. Check that the liquid inlet is connected to the LIQUID/L port and air to AIR/A to avoid damage
  6. Inspect the O-rings and caps regularly for wear, especially in high-use environments

Questions Buyers Ask

Air Atomized Nozzle Questions

What droplet size can this air atomized nozzle achieve?

The nozzle can produce droplets around 30 microns when operated under normal conditions. The exact size depends on air pressure, liquid flow rate, and the type of mixing (inner or external).

Can I adjust the spray volume without changing pressure?

Yes. The adjustable air atomized nozzle allows you to vary the liquid flow rate independently, so you can control spray volume while keeping air pressure constant.

Can I get a sample before placing a production order?

Yes. Trial samples can be sent free of charge, and samples can be ready within 10 days.

Do you accept OEM orders and small volume production?

Yes. Small volume orders are accepted, and standard or non-standard nozzles can be made to your drawing under an OEM order.

What happens if a nozzle fails in service?

A 3 month quality guarantee is provided. Send the nozzle photo and service conditions by email, and we will assess the failure cause.

What are your payment terms?

The product listings state T/T 100% in advance. Send the model, quantity, and destination port by email, and we will confirm the terms for your order.
