Use this perfect nozzle technology right from the smallest batch size

The SCHLICK ABC-Technology® design offers optimum operating security within coating-facilities. The so-called „Anti-Bearding Cap (ABC)“, crucially prevents turbulence in the area of the air cap and the nozzle exit, by means of its novel rounded shape. Perfect up- and downscaling: Using the complete SCHLICK ABC-Technology® the specially designed ABC nozzles support capacities from 1 to 180 g/min. The nozzles have been developed for drums sizes from 8.5” to 24".

Perfect 'beardless' spraying

Build-up, caking, „bearding“ or clogging of the nozzle exit are prevented as far as possible in this way. Interruptions to the coating process, as a consequence of cleaning work on the nozzle, are almost completely omitted. The SCHLICK ABC spray features an exceedingly homogenous liquid distribution, in a simultaneously very fine, uniform and reproducible drop size distribution. 

A comparison of the flow patterns reveals that the dust particle flow (simulated here in the form of fog) stays away from the anti-bearding cap better than it does from the conventional flat spray cap.

ABC spray: perfect droplets in the laboratory and production

The ideal ABC spray is characterised by a very even ellsis. This is achieved by means of a balance between the pressures – the forces of the atomising air (AA) and the pattern air (PA). 

In the following figure, the various specifications of the different sprays and their characteristics are depicted by removing 200 mm from the nozzle exit. 

• The round jet occurs without the introduction of pattern air
• The extreme flat spray occurs when the proportion of pattern air (PA) is too high
• The ideal ABC spray occurs when there is a balance between atomising air and pattern air
