SCF Self Cleaning Flat Fan Spray Nozzle
The SCF spray nozzle is a low to medium capacity nozzle producing a well-defined flat spray pattern.
The SCF nozzle has special resistance to clogging, when the operating pressure reduces a spring retracts inside a piston to purge suspended solids from the nozzle
The SCF self-cleaning flat fan spray nozzle is suitable for all dirty liquid industrial spraying applications, however is commonly used in the pulp & paper industry for the following applications:
- Cleaning of wires and felts
- Cleaning of wire and doctor rolls
- White water spraying
- Threaded inlet connection
- Range of spray angles available (15° to 130°)

Flat Fan Spray Nozzles
Flat fan spray nozzles are a very popular spray nozzle due to the many variations and suitability for so many applications.
The spray pattern is formed using an elliptical orifice which produces an even distribution of liquid in a flat spray pattern, effectively a line of spray.
When the Flat Fan spray nozzles are installed on a header, they can provide an even spray distribution of liquid across the entire width of the product or target area, with overlapping possibilities depending on customer requirements.
Due to the design range that IC Spray offer, the flow capacity of a Flat Fan spray nozzle can be extremely low, or very high, and with large selection in between results in the Flat Fan spray nozzle being one of the most used spray nozzles.
In addition to the large flow capacity range, the Flat Fan spray nozzle (depending on the nozzle size) has a large variation of droplet sizes produced and with the ability to spray not only water, but different liquids including oils and other fluids adds to the suitability of the Flat Fan spray nozzle for so many spraying applications.
Design variations of a Flat Fan Spray Nozzle
There are two common designs to produce a flat spray pattern, an elliptical orifice as previously mentioned or a deflected type. The deflected type produces a relatively even wide flat fan spray pattern of medium sized droplets. The spray pattern is formed by liquid flowing over the deflector surface from a round machined orifice.
Flat Fan spray nozzles are available with threaded connections, or a fan tip design, this design uses a retaining nut to connect to the header.
With self-aligning flat fan spray tips, self-cleaning flat fan spray nozzles, high impact and high-pressure flat fan spray nozzles it is easy to see why this nozzle range is so popular.

For the majority of spray applications, low pressure is required in the range of 1-5 bar. However, for applications requiring either high flow volumes or high impact, then high pressure is used.
Within our range of products, we have high pressure materials such as tungsten carbide that operate at pressures up to 270 bar. Contact our office for further technical assistance and to identify what pressure is best for your application.
The spray nozzle material depends on several factors, including what liquid is to be sprayed, if the spray process is high temperature and what operating pressure is to be used at the nozzles.
