Does your existing coolant system result in messy and inaccurate delivery of coolant, damaging tooling and machinery? Proper lubrication is vital for efficient production and preventing what can lead to constantly stoppages need to adjust coolant direction. For real world applications we know that everyone’s set-up can be extremely varied, with no single coolant nozzle perfect for everyone. This means you need options for getting coolant to the cutting edge and it’s why Wixroyd have engineered a comprehensive range of nozzles designed to ensure maximum efficiency of your machining.
If you need help choosing and setting up the right coolant nozzles for your application, our technical support team is always on hand to provide assistance.
Suitable for most CNC and manual machine tools because of the compact design with an incredible range of movement.
A wide range of 10 bar coolant nozzles that offer a open or focused spray with tubes available on many of these nozzles.
For the higher pressure coolant systems these coolant nozzles offer increased versatility with benable tubes, angled and fixed ends.
Maximum pressure coolant nozzles to increase productivity and tool life with the high speed stream off coolant.
A range of fittings and connectors that are used with many of our coolant nozzles to adapt or enhance performance.
The spray tips can be used in conjunction with other coolant nozzles within our range to optimise the flow of the coolant.
Angled brass connectors for use with our coolant nozzles of up to 33 bars. Temperature resistant to 70°c.

Choosing the correct coolant nozzle. Consider the specifics of your application.
Choose a nozzle with an orifice size that matches your pump’s capacity.
Select an orifice size too big and coolant pressure will drop off, an orifice size too small and an inadequate amount of coolant will reach the tool tip and can result in damage.
Note: Flow rates are based on water at 20°. Actual results may vary with fluid type, extension length and aiming angle.

To calculate the average coolant exit velocity (important in some grinding operations where it is often desirable to match or exceed the peripheral velocity of the wheel) refer to the formula explained below. Choose an orifice size that produces sufficient back pressure to achieve the desired velocity.
Choose a nozzle extension that suits your application. Short projections are more compact and less likely to be knocked out of position by swarf or vibration. Longer extensions are easier to aim, produce a more streamline or laminar flow and shoot further.
The most common coolant pump on CNC machine tools is a single stage centrifugal pump, normally designed to move high volumes of water at low pressure (typically .2 to 1.4 bar). Multi stage centrifugal pumps are capable of higher pressures (typically 1.4 to 14 bar) while still producing high flow rates. Positive displacement pumps are used for very high pressure applications upto 140 bar and are generally used with
small diameter orifi ces due to their lower flow rates.
PressureMax’s high velocity (rated to 100 bar) coolant stream increases productivity and tool life in machining and grinding operations it is also ideal for low pressure applications where abrasive swarf is a problem.
PressureMaxTM is versatile! Choose short extensions for tight spaces like CNC turning centers and screw machines, choose stainless steel bodies when using cutting oils not compatible with brass (i.e. oils containing active sulphur), or choose brass bodies for economy.
A range of sizes are available to fit pipe sizes NPT and BSPT threads. Easy to aim, the nozzle can hit any target above mounting plane.
Angled outlet versions can hit just about any target above the mounting plane. Interchangeable spray tips allow you to easily change orifice size and extension length to suit your application.
