Abstract: A nozzle, nozzle assembly and method for internally coating containers uses a dual orifice nozzle and method to direct divergent distinct spray patterns at separate interior surface portions of the container where the coating liquid is required most. The nozzle comprises a generally cylindrical body having a forward portion, a middle portion, a rear portion, a first conduit passageway extending longitudinally therethrough terminating in a first opening disposed in the forward portion, and a second conduit passageway extending longitudinally therethrough terminating in a second opening formed in the forward portion of the nozzle body. The first and second conduit passageways direct the separate sprays of coating liquid generally forward of the nozzle body in separate distinct patterns diverging from one another with an acute included angle.

Abstract: A nozzle, nozzle assembly and method for internally coating containers uses a dual orifice nozzle and method to direct divergent spray patterns at separate interior surface portions of the container where the coating liquid is most needed and to minimize misting, overspray and waste. The nozzle comprises a generally cylindrical body having a forward portion, a middle portion, a rear portion, a first conduit extending longitudinally therethrough terminating in a first opening disposed in the forward portion, and a second conduit extending longitudinally therethrough terminating in a second opening formed in the forward portion of the body. The first and second openings are oriented at an acute angle with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the nozzle to direct the separate sprays of coating liquid from the body generally in separate patterns diverging from the central longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
