HOW SPRAY PATTERN IS ACHIEVED

Rotary jets use the spray media flowing through internal gears on the body to rotate sets of high-impact jet nozzles through an efficient 2-axis orbital pattern, providing complete 360° coverage.

The jet pattern nozzles utilized on these assemblies provide significantly more impact and impingement force than other styles of tank cleaning nozzles, making them ideal for hard-to-clean residues and larger vessels.
