Stainless steel spray nozzle with external thread and knurled locking ring on a solid background

Flat Fan Nozzle

Flat Fan Nozzle CH-U and CH-VV Series

A flat fan nozzle delivers a straight, even spray across a moving surface, which is essential when a strip of material such as steel, a conveyor of gravel, or a row of parts must be uniformly treated. This CH-U and CH-VV series covers 0° to 120° spray angles and 0.39 to 3430 L/min at 3 bar, making it suitable for both fine rinsing and heavy-duty washing applications. Threads range from 1/8 inch to 3 inch in BSPT or NPT, and bodies are available in 303 stainless steel, brass, 316 stainless steel, PP, PVC, PVDF, and PTFE for use in corrosive, abrasive, or high-temperature environments.

Key Benefits

What This Nozzle Gives You

  • One spray angle and flow rate table supports both light rinsing and heavy washing duties
  • Tapered edge distribution allows adjacent nozzles to overlap without dry stripes
  • Male and female connections provide flexibility in mounting orientation on a header
  • Wide thread range from 1/8 inch to 3 inch fits existing pipework without adapters
  • Seven body materials allow the same geometry to be used in brass, stainless steel, or chemical-resistant plastics
  • Free trial samples and 10-day sample lead time reduce risk before committing to a full order

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Installed

  • Rinsing headers over conveyor belts where consistent water coverage is required across the full width
  • Gas washing and scrubber systems needing a continuous curtain of droplets across a duct cross-section
  • Cooling and quenching lines where even heat removal is critical across a moving surface
  • Sand, coal, and gravel washing bars handling high flow at moderate pressure
  • Parts washing cabinets where rotating fixtures pass through a fixed spray plane

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify It

  • Plant engineers replacing worn spray bars on existing washing or rinsing lines
  • Scrubber and gas cleaning system designers specifying nozzles by angle and flow rate
  • Quarry and mineral processing maintenance teams managing dust and clogging issues
  • OEM machine builders needing a single nozzle series across multiple machine models
  • Distributors stocking a range of nozzles for local industrial customers

Problems It Solves

What It Fixes on the Line

  • Uneven coverage that leaves dry stripes between adjacent nozzles on a spray bar
  • Mixed thread standards on older plant equipment requiring custom adapters
  • Corrosion of brass nozzles in chemical washing or scrubbing service
  • Overspray and water waste when the spray angle does not match the target width
  • Extended downtime due to long replacement lead times for spray nozzles

Technical Features

How It Is Built

  • One-piece construction with no internal parts to loosen or wear separately
  • Tapered spray edges designed for overlapping installation on a header
  • Fan and straight jet patterns available from the same body family
  • Male and female connections so the nozzle can be fitted either way on a bar
  • Extra-wide angles available where a short standoff distance is unavoidable

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Full cone nozzleA full cone covers a round footprint, so it suits tank filling and gas cooling, while a flat fan is the right choice when the target is a line or a moving strip
Hollow cone nozzleA hollow cone gives finer droplets in a ring and is better for gas washing, but it cannot lay an even line across a belt
Spiral nozzleA spiral passes solids better because the vane sits outside the body, but its cone pattern will not give edge to edge coverage on a conveyor
Flat fan nozzle with filterThe filtered version protects the orifice on dirty water lines at the cost of an extra strainer to clean

Use Guide

Fitting and Running It

  1. Measure the target width and the standoff distance before choosing a spray angle
  2. Overlap adjacent fans by about the width of one tapered edge to avoid dry stripes
  3. Align every nozzle on the header so the fans lie in the same plane
  4. Match the thread standard BSPT or NPT to the existing header before ordering
  5. Fit a strainer or the filtered variant when spraying recirculated water
  6. Check the orifice for wear whenever coverage starts to look uneven
