Flow Distribution
Hole count, pitch, and pattern shape determine where the process delivers media across the working area.
Custom part manufacturing
Custom Nozzle Plates for Controlled Fluid Delivery
Precision micro-orifice plates made around your flow pattern, mounting interface, material, and inspection requirements—from feasibility samples through repeat custom production.
- Micro-orifice arrays laid out directly from your CAD data
- Hole diameter, pitch, flatness, and datums reviewed together
- Thin stainless steel and application-specific alloy options
The plate defines the distribution
What a Nozzle Plate Controls
A nozzle plate is more than a sheet with holes. Its orifice pattern and mounting surface establish how fluid, ink, gas, coating, or other media is distributed at the next step of your process.
Repeatable Placement
Consistent orifice geometry supports a stable, drawing-defined distribution rather than an improvised pattern.
Sealing & Serviceability
Flatness, outer profile, mounting holes, and datum features help the plate fit the manifold and be replaced reliably.
Pattern review
Specify the Hole Pattern, Not Just the Diameter
One nominal hole diameter is not enough to define a usable nozzle plate. The relationships between the holes and the surrounding mounting features determine whether the part can be manufactured, assembled, and inspected as intended.
- Orifice diameter, row and column pitch, and active area
- Pattern alignment to mounting datums, ports, and sealing lands
- Plate thickness, edge distance, and required burr condition
- Flatness and inspection points at the assembled interface
Material & build
Choose a Plate That Fits the Process Environment
Material selection starts with the media, temperature, cleaning method, sealing method, and mechanical handling of the finished assembly—not with a generic stock list.
Stainless Steel
A practical baseline where corrosion resistance, cleanability, and dimensional stability are required.
Nickel & Specialty Alloys
Considered when compatibility, magnetic behavior, elevated temperature, or a specific process environment changes the material decision.
Finished Interface
Outer profile, mounting holes, sealing lands, and handling features are reviewed with the micro-orifice pattern as one component.

Answers
Nozzle Plate FAQs
What information do you need to quote a nozzle plate?
Please send the hole layout or CAD drawing, material and thickness, intended fluid or media, hole diameter and pitch requirements, mounting interface, quantity, and any inspection criteria. A section view is helpful when the plate seals against a manifold or gasket.
Can the hole diameter and the hole pattern be customized?
Yes. Each plate is made to the drawing. We review the required hole diameter together with pitch, plate thickness, edge distance, and the flatness needed at the mounting interface before selecting a practical route.
Which materials are suitable for nozzle plates?
Stainless steel is a common starting point for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability. Nickel, molybdenum, titanium, and other alloys can also be reviewed where compatibility, temperature, or a specific joining method drives the choice.
Can you supply prototype and repeat production quantities?
Yes. A drawing-led laser process is useful when a pattern is still being validated or changes are expected. Once the design is stable, we can align material control, inspection, and lot requirements for repeat production.
