Why a Ceramic Nozzle?

Ceramic blast nozzles provide an economical solution for general-purpose abrasive blasting.

Although ceramic typically does not provide the extended wear life of tungsten carbide or boron carbide, its lower cost makes it a practical choice for occasional blasting, lighter-duty applications, and operations where inexpensive nozzle replacement is preferred.

Nozzle life varies considerably depending on the abrasive being used, media size, operating pressure, and frequency of use.

How a Suction Blast Gun Works

Compressed air passes through the 1/8" air jet, creating a low-pressure area inside the blast gun that draws abrasive media through the media hose.

The abrasive mixes with the compressed-air stream and exits through the 5/16" ceramic nozzle toward the work surface.

Correct matching of the nozzle, air jet, abrasive supply, and compressor capacity is important for consistent abrasive pickup and blasting performance.

Air Consumption / Compressor Requirements

Compressor Sizing Note: The F113-007 is equipped with a 5/16" ceramic nozzle and 1/8" air jet. The accompanying CFM chart is provided as a general siphon-blast reference. Because air consumption varies with air-jet size, nozzle configuration, operating pressure, and system conditions, the chart should not be considered the exact CFM specification for the F113-007.

Applications:

• Suction-feed blast cabinets
• General-purpose abrasive blasting
• Surface preparation
• Paint and coating removal
• Rust and corrosion removal
• Cleaning fabricated and machined parts
• Equipment restoration
• Shop and maintenance blasting
• Industrial cleaning

Checking Ceramic Nozzle Wear

Because ceramic is a wear component, the nozzle bore should be inspected periodically.

As the bore enlarges, you may notice:

• Increased compressed-air demand
• Changes in blast pattern
• Reduced abrasive velocity
• Reduced blasting efficiency
• Increased abrasive consumption
• Difficulty maintaining operating pressure

Ceramic nozzles can wear considerably faster than carbide nozzles, particularly when used with aggressive abrasives. Periodically checking the bore helps prevent a badly worn nozzle from affecting the performance of the entire blasting system.

Finding Parts for Older Universal / Uniblast Equipment

Universal Equipment Manufacturing and Uniblast Technologies blasting equipment has been used in shops and industrial applications for many years. Older manuals may identify blast guns by part number, gun designation, or nozzle and air-jet configuration.

For this assembly, the key identification information is:

Universal / Uniblast F113-007 – Gun B – 5/16" Ceramic Nozzle with 1/8" Air Jet

Important:

This listing is for one Universal Equipment Manufacturing / Uniblast Technologies F113-007 Gun B complete blast gun assembly with 5/16" ceramic nozzle and 1/8" air jet.

Always verify the F113-007 part number, Gun B designation, nozzle size, and air-jet size required for your equipment before ordering.

Completely shut off and relieve compressed-air pressure before installing, removing, or servicing any blast gun, nozzle, hose, or related blasting component. Never operate abrasive blasting equipment with damaged or improperly secured components.
