XL Performance Nozzle
Kennametal Boride Abrasive Flow Products is pleased to introduce the XL Performance Nozzle to our product line. The XL Performance Nozzle increases abrasive particle velocity, resulting in improved production rates and efficiencies. It utilizes the same air (CFM) requirements as our standard long venturi products for the same given bore size resulting in lower compressed air operating costs per square foot/meter. The XL Performance Nozzles are produced in lightweight BP200 SiAlON material that minimizes nozzle weight and overall operator fatigue.
