Does the WIN® nozzle work like a “water ring” around the outside of a nozzle?

0

The answer is a definite NO. The “water ring” forces water on the blast stream as it exits the nozzle. Since the air and water are working against each other, the energy in the blast stream is reduced while the size of the blast pattern is being choked off by water spray onto the stream. While it is inexpensive to purchase a “water ring”, the loss in production and increased abrasive consumption makes it the most costly wet sandblasting system. Are there any other reasons why I should get better production from the WIN® nozzle? The answer is YES. The design of the WIN® nozzle incorporates a downstream orifice that is considerably larger than a conventional blast nozzle. The result is a larger blast pattern which in effect yields greater production rates.
