  • Publication number: 20100107971
    Abstract: A convergent spray nozzle for food applications is disclosed. The convergent spray nozzle may include a first conduit through which oil and compressed air are discharged. At least one second conduit is provided adjacent the first conduit and discharges powdered seasoning. Compressed air is used to create a stream carrying the seasoning through the conduit. The oil is discharged from first central conduit in a spray pattern, while the seasoning is discharged from the second conduit in spray patterns as well. The spray patterns overlap and converge in front of the spray nozzle assembly prior to deposition on the food product.

  • Publication number: 20050211800
    Abstract: A convergent type of spray gun is made portable by miniaturizing the components with the addition of a double tube, fluid tip and air cap for defining the discharge nozzle for the first fluid and atomizing air. The other fluid nozzle for flowing another fluid is likewise miniaturized and is adapted to fit over the double tube, fluid tip and air cap arrangement by including a sleeve disposed therebetween. The main body is configured in either an L-shape or straight-through configuration. Although the component parts are miniaturized, the spray gun is capable of flowing coating mixture at the same rate as the larger version convergent spray gun.

  • Patent number: 6892963
    Abstract: A convergent type of spray gun is made portable by miniaturizing the components with the addition of a double tube, fluid tip and air cap for defining the discharge nozzle for the liquid resin and atomizing air. The dry powdered nozzle is likewise miniaturized and is adapted to fit over the double tube, fluid tip and air cap arrangement by including a sleeve disposed therebetween. The main body is configured in either an L-shape or straight-through configuration. Although the component parts are min is the spray gun is capable of flowing coating mixture at the same rate as the larger version convergent spray gun.

  • Patent number: 6322000
    Abstract: A shut-off system that is semi-automatic or fully automatic shuts off the mechanism for flowing resin, air and filler to a miniaturized convergent spray gun so as to stop the flow of the ingredients of being sprayed and purging the spray gun so that the residue ingredients do not cure and destroy the gun.
