Full Cone Nozzles for washing and atomization applications
 FULL CONES Full cone spray nozzles represent the second most common nozzle type in use today. Available in virtually any material and several spray angles, the pattern generated by this type of nozzle swirls the fluid into a solid "cone" pattern. Not all full cones are created equal! Spray nozzle design and precision machining have a significant difference on the stability of the spray pattern, flow distribution and the spray angles' integrity at different pressures. |  |
Usually the narrower the spray angle, the higher the impact you'll receive at a given distance and the further the trajectory. Therefore narrower angle nozzles are used for cleaning or chemical injection and wider angle nozzles are used for dust suppression, coating, general washing, rinsing and similar applications. The droplet sizes generated by full cone nozzles are considered to be fine to coarse.
If I want to wash something, which is better, a flat spray or a full cone?
Well, flat sprays provide higher impact, which is a key aspect of most washing applications. If wide surface areas need to be covered or if the target is stationary, full cone nozzles may be just what you're looking for.
There are 3 basic types of full cone spray nozzles, click here to learn about the pro's and con's of each. Full cone spray nozzles can be manufactured to provide oval or square patterns or made to mount flush with the internal wall of a vessel [i.e. "wall mounted nozzles"].
Our latest Spray Nozzle Engineering Manual has numerous pages dedicated to full cone nozzles as well as an introductory page on full cone nozzles in general.
