Without the correct maintenance procedures in place your investment in a dust suppression system will be a waste.
Spray nozzles are designed for long-lasting, trouble-free performance, however, like all precision components, spray nozzles do wear over time. Spray performance can suffer and costs can rise. The best strategy is to inspect nozzles on a regular basis and replace them when needed.
Watch for:
- Plugging/clogging: Use water clarification devices and strainers as needed
- Corrosion: Specify nozzles in the appropriate materials for the solutions being sprayed
- Scale build-up: Control hardness level of the water and use chemical additives if necessary
- Caking: Clean nozzles before build-up interferes with performance. Soak nozzles in water to loosen debris before cleaning
