Nozzle science and the
development of the Predator™/BL Patent™ series
When it comes to sewer cleaning technology “everything starts
with the sewer nozzle” according to Bo Larsson, CTO AquaTeq
Sweden AB. “It’s what does all the work”. Historically
little attention has been paid to sewer nozzle design and performance.
In conventional sewer nozzles water hits the front and then is forced
out the rear. This results in undisciplined, weak, and poorly defined
water stream that quickly turns into mist very close to the nozzle.
The importance of sewer nozzle design was first settled in Sweden
1983 by Bo Larsson in cooperation with Malmo Municipality and the
Swedish Water and Sewage Work’s Association. An investigation
with the task to find the key factors to efficient sewer cleaning
started to develop. Different jetting machines where used and tested
as well as different nozzle designs. The results showed that it
all came down to the nozzle design.
All Predator™ nozzles have a design precisely balancing pump
flow and pressure by looping it around a patented system of conduits.
This results in a disciplined, well defined and powerful water stream
that stays together longer and farther behind the nozzle. The first
Predator™ nozzle, developed by Bo Larsson, was the Jaws®
Nozzle. In the Predator™ series you will also find the Hammerhead™,
Orca™, C-Ray™, Missile™ and the Golden™
sewer nozzle. All of them developed for a certain purpose to offer
you the best solution to your sewer cleaning task.
We are so confident with our design and construction we now offer
a 10 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
with the JAWS® Sewer nozzle and 5
YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY with the HAMMERHEAD™
sewer nozzle!
