Hi,
I'm trying to find this part without success.

P_20200205_135528_leir5k.jpg


In the photo is screwed but the thread is M10, the hole is 5.6mm.

Nothing similar appears when searching for "nozzle" in Google or Ebay.

Maybe as a none English speaker I'm using the wrong term?
So what is it?

Thank you!

They're screwed to a chocolate dispensing plate, the chocolate flows through the holes.
But for sure it wasn't manufactured specially for this purpose.

So what is it?
Anyone manage to find a link for such thing in Ebay?

"But for sure it wasn't manufactured specially for this purpose."

Sure sounds/looks like it was purposely made for food dispensing. Normal spray nozzles I've seen and used have a male thread. That design looks like it is intended to create a mating contact on the internal face of the part, thus minimizing crevices that can't be cleaned in-situ. Have you asked the equipment manufacturer for the source or a drawing? If no such entity exists, and you can't find a drawing, I'd make a drawing and shop it around to local machinists.

"nozzle" is probably right. The function of the part is the spray "stuff" through the orifice. The flats, that make this look like a nut, are there only to install the nozzle.

Questioning the food processing idea due to the idea that it looks like the center hole is rusty... or is that chocolate I see? None-the-less, isn't most food processing equipment made of stainless...

Perhaps it is a "nozzle adapter" so that one or more different size nozzle can be screwed into th efemale thread.

It's stainless steal and "rust" inside is chocolate.

It has a male thread (M10) and a 5.6mm hole, so much larger than 3d printer nozzles.

No search for "nozzle" in Google or Ebay shows something as this one...

cowski: good link but nothing equal (visually or dimensions)

btrueblood: I still think this aren't made just for this application and should be available to buy somewhere and in a variety of sizes

If you have the part, why not just give it to a machine shop to replicate?

Tuckabag: there is no machine shops in my area and if this is a standard part it'll be much cheaper to buy in Ebay

The vast majority of food processing equipment is custom made. I spent 7 months in a chocolate factory; and yes, my real name is Charlie.

It could be a full flow nozzle or a depositor tip.
It is 316 stainless steel (not steal).
It is subject to high heat because chocolate is melted when dispensed.
It will not last forever because you have to take the machine apart to clean it, so you probably go through a few of them.


It is not standard, you will not find it in a catalog.

Reverse engineer it if you do not know who made the equipment.

Big thanks to all of you for trying to help!

The links for components above don't provide nothing similar.

I've contacted the dispensing plate manufacturer but they didn't answer if the nozzle is standard or specially manufactured for this use.
That is exactly why I was trying to find the part by myself. It's all a big secret in this industry.

But I'll certainly demand an answer, before going the reverse engineering / machine shop way.
