For cleaning and unblocking a pipe, the essential tool is a nozzle. It works by directing high-pressure water into the pipe. There is a specific nozzle for every type of blockage or cleaning task.
Choosing the right nozzle depends on its intended application, from general cleaning in residential properties to removing grease or clearing blockages caused by cement residue and other deposits in complex sewer systems.
Selecting the most suitable model helps increase the equipment’s efficiency and effective cleaning power, improving the overall performance of the high-pressure jetting unit.
How does a nozzle work?
It operates by means of a device capable of converting enthalpy, transforming thermal energy into kinetic energy. This process affects the pressure of the fluid used in turbomachinery and jet propulsion systems.
As the cross-sectional area of the nozzle decreases, the velocity of the fluid increases, enabling high-pressure water to be propelled through the pipe. As a result, the temperature decreases while energy is conserved.
Pulling nozzles
These are the most commonly used nozzles for pipe cleaning when the objective is to remove solid deposits such as mud, sludge, sand and gravel.
They use a high-pressure water system to dislodge debris and are specifically designed to provide excellent pulling power for heavy, flat-shaped materials by producing water jets at different angles.
They are also known as “final cleaning” nozzles because they offer outstanding conveying performance and are typically used during the final stage of pipe cleaning. They feature a single jet and a higher flow rate than most other nozzles.
We design, manufacture and supply innovative tools for pipe cleaning and drain unblocking. We also advise drainage professionals on choosing the right nozzle for every application.
