A spray nozzle for spraying material includes an outlet, a mixing section, an inlet for the material, and a buffer space for pressurized gas. The mixing section is in fluid communication with the outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the mixing section. The buffer space is in fluid communication with the mixing section via two or more separate gas supply channels. The inlet comprises a separating wall configured to divide a flow of material to be sprayed into two separate flow passages prior to entry into the mixing section.
