3. Avesta Passivator, for passivation/decontamination
The same pump can be used for all products, the system require only to be rinsed
with water between each product.

Features
» A ¼" diaphragm pump with a 3-6 bar air pressure. Insensitive to viscosity
changes due to the possibility to regulate the air pressure.
» Best in class for spraying liquids. A low pulsation gives an even flow when
applying the pickling spray.
» Reliable, with a long working life .Easy to dismantle and to clean.
» An optimal max. spray height of 6 m. Photo: Spray picture from flat spray nozzle type.
The standard type has a 110 °C spray angle.
» A typical flow rate of 2 l / min of pickling spray with nozzle Spray-jet
SS 11006 which is the standard product. Other nozzle types are also
available, see list.
