When choosing an air nozzle, it is important to consider these two questions:

1. Measure your inner diameter pipe size and choose a nozzle that fits your pipe.
2. What kind of blowing pattern fits your solution – flat or concentrated? 

These questions help you to limit the range of air nozzles, which makes it easier to choose the correct product.

Usually, there are a variety of air nozzles to choose from, each providing similar, yet different, performance results. First and foremost, an air nozzle should be used since it makes it possible to control and optimize the use of compressed air. This results in less compressed air usage and smaller costs. Few know what they pay for compressed air. Click here if you want to calculate your cost of compressed air today.

Typically it is easy to replace an open pipe with an air nozzle. The installation can have a big impact on the quality of the final product, the work flow and efficiency as well as the final cost of the production, quite a simple change will play a large role in the behavior of operators as they are more acutely aware of the ongoing costs of utilisation of the air guns. 

Safety air guns are usually designed with many factors in mind, the keystone of which is the reduction of costly compressed air, and the correct application of this air efficiently, when considering using a safety air gun, choosing a model that reduces noise, wastage, and energy consumption is paramount.
