Spray nozzles promise longer life
Because ruby orifices are crimped into place the risk of premature orifice dislodgement as a result of water hammer, line shock or cleaning operations is greatly reduced.
Shower disc (SD) nozzles are well known and widely used in the pulp and paper industries for washing and spraying applications These nozzles combine a low profile configuration with flat fan and needle jet spray patterns

Nozzle transforms to drip-free performance
The Drip-Pro spray dry nozzle check valve's patented design can be incorporated into new or existing systems and keeps a standard appearance to conventional nozzles.
Self-cleaning tanks look after themselves
The M-series Tank Washer is powered by the cleaning fluid itself, distributing an even, heavy, stream-like pattern to thoroughly clean tank interiors.
Spray Nozzle Engineering has created the OIS (Orifice Insert System) on all its ruby orifice SD nozzles to provide a novel mechanical sealing method.
Because the ruby orifices are crimped into place, instead of using adhesive anchors, the risk of premature orifice dislodgement as a result of water hammer, line shock or cleaning operations is greatly reduced.
As the nozzle orifice protrudes into the spray header or delivery pipe, the potential for blockage is reduced.
When used in conjunction with a self cleaning shower head or manifold, the risk of nozzle blockage is reduced even further.
Spray Nozzle Engineering offers SD nozzles with either stainless, ceramic or ruby orifices; the hard-wearing ruby orifice offering more a more accurate spray pattern for longer.
Various spray patterns are available including needle jet, flat fan and blank discs, with standard spray angles of 0, 30 and 60 degrees (other angles available on request) and a large range of flow rates.
The SD nozzle series can be used to replace existing shower discs or as a complete system on new spray manifolds; weld on sockets and retaining nuts allow the entire SD assembly to be used for new installations.
Spray Nozzle Engineering also stocks a new range of quick change, snap disc nozzle holder systems, to make changing nozzles in spray bars quick and easy.
