A filter screen nozzle is typically used in fluid systems to filter out unwanted particles or debris while allowing liquid or gas to pass through. It combines a nozzle and a screen, serving dual purposes:
Nozzle Function:
Controls the flow rate, direction, or spray pattern of the fluid.
Application:
Traps particles or contaminants in the fluid, ensuring a cleaner output.
These are commonly used in industries such as water treatment, agriculture (e.g., irrigation systems), chemical processing, and machinery lubrication systems.
Types of Filter Screen Nozzles
Flat Screen Nozzles: Often used for uniform spray or liquid distribution.
Cone-Shaped Screen Nozzles: Provide directional flow control.
Multi-Layer Mesh Nozzles: For fine filtration, typically in sensitive equipment.
Custom Nozzles: Designed for specific industrial needs.
Key Considerations for Selection
Material: Stainless steel, plastic, or brass, depending on the fluid and operating conditions.
Mesh Size: Defines the size of particles that can pass through.
Flow Rate: Ensure compatibility with system requirements.
Maintenance Needs: Some designs are easier to clean or replace than others.
