The selection of the best nozzle to apply a give
coating to a specific article with maximum
efficiency is not an exact science. Testing is
usually necessary and wide experience with
many types of coating applications helps. Your
ITW Ransburg representative uses such
experience and actual laboratory testing when
recommending a nozzle for your application
needs.

Howevery, if parts, paints, or conveyor speeds
are changed, a different nozzle may be required
for best results. The following discussion and
guide will assist the user in making his own nozzle
selection whenever it becomes necessary.
Selection should always be verified by actual tests
to determine optimum efficiencies.

ITW Ransburg recommends the use of a

fluid filter to reduce nozzle clogging.

Refer to the “Nozzle Selection Guide” in this
section for the choice of fan width and spray
characteristics appropriate to the size and type
of target. The maximum nozzle flow capacity
depends on: the orrifice size, the fluid pressure,
the paint viscosity, and the spraying temperature.
Always remember, for maximum paint economy,
any nozzle selected should always be operated
at the lowest fluid pressure which will give good
atomization and the required flow rate.
