Nozzles and TipsOur range of nozzles utilise the nozzle-mix principle whereby the fuel gas and preheat oxygen are kept separate right up to the nozzle and are only mixed once inside the preheat orifices.

This system keeps the volume of mixed gas to an absolute minimum and therefore reduces the magnitude of a backfire.

Injector-mix systems have far larger volumes of mixed gases in the torch and nozzle. Should a backfire occur, far more extensive damage to equipment, or operators, can result.

Nozzles are made of copper for good heat dissipation.

Nozzle faces can be dressed back by using a fine file and orifices cleaned with appropriate cleaners. The flame shape and nozzle performance depend heavily on orifices having sharp, square edges – they should never be bell-mouthed by using pieces of wire to clean them out. Use only approved nozzle cleaners.
