Are you looking for a range of Sandblasting nozzles and inserts that are designed in USA and built at our facility iin Illinois using high quality components? Then look at Everblast's carbide sandblasting nozzles. Our blast nozzles and inserts are quality checked throughout our assembly process, from sub-component to finished product. We work hard to make sure our customers receive top quality products.

Our Blast cleaning nozzle are used in many dry and wet blast cleaning / surface preparation applications. Here are a few examples of where blast cleaning nozzles are used (1) wet blast cleaning (2) slurry blasting (2) open dry blast cleaning (3) enclosed cabinet and blast room sandblasting (4) Pipeline maintenance and sandblasting (5) Soda Blasting (6) Wet Blasting (7) Dry blasting (8) Monument Industry (9) Building refurbishment (10) Bridge maintenance (11) Petrochemical facility maintenance, (12) Ship building and maintenance facilities etc.

Shot Blasting nozzles are also used in Granite, Monument and Soda Blasting industries. Low cost throw away ceramic nozzles are widely used in these industries but can be replaced by more durable cost effective tungsten and/or boron carbide nozzles. Advantage of using carbide over ceramics are many, e.g. Carbide will last longer, it is more durable, you don't have to keep a large stock, reduced need for purchases, less down time through frequent need to change ceramic insert, higher productivity, more environmentally responsible, etc. etc.

Many of our long carbide sandblasting nozzles incorporate venturi geometry to accelerate the abrasive particle stream. Blast cleaning media flowing through a nozzle will eventually wear away at nozzle bore. When the bore size increases it will gradually reduce a sandblasting system's performance by increasing demand for air. In situations where no more air is available this will result in reduced abrasive exit velocity at nozzle.

Everblast's contractor style carbide abrasive blast cleaning nozzles, grit blasting nozzles / sandblasting nozzle tips are supplied with the 2 contractor style industry standard threads (1) 1-1/4" threads and (2) coarse 2" /metric threads. Most long venturi carbide sand-blasting nozzles are available with either 1" (25mm) or 1-1/4" (32mm) lead in entry. We also offer a wide range of carbide inserts made from tungsten carbide, boron carbide or ceramic. These inserts are generally used in suction guns operated in sandblasting cabinets and workshops where close up blast cleaning is needed.

We offer a choice of different jackets to protect carbide liners. These range from our 100% armored jackets and threads that provide a very high level of protection against ricochet wear and impact to lighter weight plastic jackets that provide good impact protection for the liner. Our premium range of armor jacketed blast cleaning nozzles provide additional protection for carbide liners against ricochet and work site impact.

Everblast makes a range of High performance XLBC blast cleaning nozzles these are great when large surface areas need blast cleaning and can be used for dry and wet blasting. These light weight nozzles are long venturi style with a boron carbide liner. Nozzles available with either 1-1/4" fine threads or 2" coarse threads.

Wet blasting and soda blast cleaning has become popular as these methods offers a way of controlling dust - please see our range of Wet blasting nozzles. However, like many methods of blast cleaning there are pros and cons. It is important that each blast cleaning company researches to find out which method of blast cleaning (wet or dry) offers optimal results, given the type of surface preparation work being undertaken, abrasives used & coating that may subsequently be applied.

Guide on Estimated Nozzle Service Life in hours.

All figures are indicative and given for nozzle comparison purposes only. Actual nozzle service life will depend on operational variables, such as blast pressure, media dimensions and media particle profile. All figures are approximate.

Nozzle Liner Material	Steel/Grit Shot (hours)	Expendable Abrasives (Hours)	Aluminum Oxide (Hours)
Ceramic	20-40	10-30	1-4
Tungsten Carbide	500-800	300-400	20-40
Silicon Carbide/Silicon Nitride	600-1000	400-600	50-100
Silicon Composite	1400-2300	700-1450	180-900
Boron Carbide	1500-2500	750-1500	200 - 1000
