GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The SnakeBite XQ Nozzle and Silencer
represents a step change in abrasive blasting
nozzle design and functionality. The unique
internal nozzle geometry of the SnakeBite XQ
Nozzle produces a more stable blast stream
than conventional nozzles. This results
in less blast stream turbulence, improved
stability, higher abrasive particle velocity for
an increased distance after the nozzle exit and
delivers increased abrasive particle energy at
the work surface.
The Silencer has been specifically designed
to respond to the characteristics of the blast
stream produced by the SnakeBite XQ Nozzle
and is tuned to remove the typical high pitch
screech of the blast stream and reduce the
sound emitted by the blasting process.
The Silencer design incorporates a nozzle
thrust reduction feature that reduces the
force produced by the nozzle in the opposite
direction to the blast stream.
FEATURES
• Groundbreaking Nozzle internal geometry
that delivers up to 25% increase in surface
cleaning rates and operator productivity
without increased abrasive usage rates.
• Industry leading nozzle silencer delivering
up to 16dB noise reduction across a wide
range of operating pressures.
• Nozzle thrust reduction of up to 40%,
when operated with the silencer fitted,
results in a significant reduction in
operator fatigue over the shift.
• Silicon Nitride ceramic liner offering
excellent wear characteristics and life.
• Robust anodised aluminium nozzle jacket,
including a nozzle exit bump guard,
