Air Grid Nozzles 

Engineered specifically for the demanding environment of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units, Blasch’s ALTRON™ FCC Air Distributor Nozzles deliver exceptional performance where traditional materials fall short. Designed for the petrochemical industry’s most punishing conditions, these advanced ceramic/metal assemblies provide unmatched wear and corrosion resistance, extending service life and reducing costly downtime.

Unlike conventional steel nozzles, ALTRON™ assemblies can be directly welded in place, offering a seamless upgrade that gives engineers confidence and flexibility during FCCU turnarounds. Once installed, their superior abrasion resistance allows them to last two to five times longer than high-alloy steels or competitive ceramic options.

By maintaining nozzle integrity and efficiency under continuous operation, Blasch ALTRON™ nozzles help improve catalyst distribution, extend cat cracker lifespan, and significantly lower maintenance and replacement costs. The result is a more reliable operation, optimized financial performance, and the freedom to focus resources where they matter most.
