Nozzle (10) for countercurrent injection of a liquid material for mixing with other components, comprising: - a
nozzle housing (20) having at least one inlet opening (26) for supplying a liquid material and a
nozzle outlet (22) for discharging the material, - wherein the
nozzle housing (20) has a
piston chamber (23) extending along a longitudinal axis (L) of the nozzle housing (20); - a nozzle
piston (60) which is axially displaceable in the
piston chamber (23) along the longitudinal axis (L) and separates a material chamber (24) and a pressure fluid chamber (25) from each other, - wherein a material surface (61) of the nozzle piston (60) can be subjected to a material pressure (PM) of the material and a pressure fluid surface (62) of the nozzle piston (60) can be subjected to a control pressure (PC) of a pressure fluid; - a nozzle needle (40) which is connected to the nozzle piston (60) and forms a variable nozzle opening (42) with the nozzle outlet (22); - a sealing device (70) that seals a circumferential gap (83) between the nozzle housing (20) and the nozzle piston (60), - wherein the control pressure (PC) in the pressure fluid chamber (25) is adjustable to control a
discharge pressure (PA) of the material at the exit from the nozzle opening (42), wherein - the sealing device (70) comprises first and second sealing elements (71a, 71b), characterized by the fact that - the nozzle piston (60) forms a receptacle (68) for the sealing device (70), - the sealing device (70) has a sealing
retaining ring (63) with circumferential recesses (67a, 67b) for receiving sealing elements (71a, 71b), - from the material surface (61) at least one connecting channel (66a) between the material chamber (24) and a circumferential recess (67a) and - at least one connecting channel (66b) is formed between the pressure fluid surface (62) and a circumferential recess (67b), - the first and second sealing elements (71a, 71b) are each designed as a sealing ring with a C-profile and a lateral circumferential groove (72a, 72b), - wherein the circumferential groove (72a) of the first sealing element (71a) is oriented towards the material surface (61) and the circumferential groove (72b) of the second sealing element (71b) is oriented towards the pressure fluid surface (62), - wherein the sealing element (71a, 71b) expands in a radial direction when the circumferential groove (72a, 72b) is filled with a pressurized liquid, for example the material or the pressurizing fluid.
