Tank cleaning nozzles | High vs standard pressure
What are the differences between the two types of tank cleaning nozzles? When to choose a high-pressure tank cleaning device or a standard pressure one?
Our tank cleaning nozzle range is wide: static, rotating, with motorized or guided movement. Another difference that we can identify is related to their supply pressure: we talk about high-pressure and standard-pressure tank cleaning nozzles.
But what are the differences between high and standard pressure tank cleaning nozzles? When to use one or the other?
Definition of high and standard pressure tank cleaning nozzles
HIGH PRESSURE TANK CLEANING NOZZLES
By the term “high-pressure tank cleaning nozzles,” we mean cleaning devices whose operating pressure exceeds 35 bar.
Thanks to the high impact force of the jets, the high-pressure spray balls use on average less liquid for cleaning than the lower pressures tank washing heads.
The disposal of spent cleaning liquids represents an expensive activity in company budgets. The high-pressure washing heads substantially reduce this asset, thanks to the reduced water consumption.
PROS AND CONS
Comparison table
Tank cleaning nozzles | High vs standard pressure
| Type of tank cleaning nozzles | Recommended operating pressures | Type of soil |
|---|---|---|
| STANDARD PRESSURE | STATIC | 1 – 10 BAR | Non-viscous fluids |
| STANDARD PRESSURE | FREE SPINNING | 1,5 – 10 BAR | Non-viscous and viscous fluids |
| STANDARD PRESSURE | CONTROLLED ROTATION | 3 – 16 BAR | Viscous fluids |
| STANDARD PRESSURE | GEAR CONTROLLED | 4 – 10 BAR | Cohesive solids |
| HIGH-PRESSURE | 35 – 150 BAR | Cohesive solids |
