Air nozzles

As a rule, any flat fan or

solid stream nozzle can be
operated with air instead
of liquid. However, youll
obtain the best results using
the nozzle designs we
specifically engineered for
compressed air or saturated
steam applications. Typical
applications for Lechler air
nozzles include blowing off
or out, cooling, drying, or
cleaning.
The problem:
noisy air sprayers
In many industries and
workshops, compressed air
is an indispensable tool.
Compressed air is needed for
cleaning, drying, blowing off,
and many other applications.

Reduction of the noise level

by up to 12 dB
Lower inlet air pressure with
the same blowing force
Lower air consumption
Better blowing effect over
a greater distance
Lower operating costs

Flow rate [Nm3/h]

The solution: Lechler multichannel air nozzles, featuring

a significantly reduced sound
level, high blowing power,
and low air consumption.
The performance of multichannel air nozzles is based on
partitioning the air inflow into
single air jets. A total of 16 air
channels, arranged to ensure
optimum flow conditions,
provides for a uniform, straight,
and powerful overall air jet.

In comparison to single-hole
air nozzles, the advantages
are as follows:
Noise level [dB(A)]

Typically, when uncontrolled

compressed air is used,
annoying, high-frequency
hissing noises occur, which
can affect or even harm
hearing. These noises are
produced by turbulences
generated at the air outlet.
Their intensity depends on
the shape of the nozzle orifice
and on the amount of inlet
air pressure. Therefore, the
stronger the output air jet
needs to be, the higher the
noise level, air consumption,
and cost as a result.
