Frequently Asked Questions
What nozzle is best for industrial cleaning?
Selection depends on pressure, cleaning target, spray pattern, and material compatibility. Flat fan nozzles suit surface washing, full cone for full coverage, and high‑pressure nozzles for stubborn residues.
How do I choose a tank cleaning nozzle?
Consider tank diameter, flow rate, available pressure, and cleaning medium. For tanks up to 3.1m, choose K4 or 6160 series. For larger tanks up to 40m, choose 360‑A series. For small tanks and pipes, choose 12810 rotary spray balls.
Which material is suitable for chemical cleaning?
PVDF offers excellent chemical resistance up to 148°C. 316L stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance for food and general chemicals. Ceramic and silicon carbide are best for high wear and abrasive conditions.
Can CYCO customise cleaning nozzles?
Yes, CYCO offers customisation for spray angle, flow rate, connection type, and material to meet specific application requirements.
How can I reduce water consumption in cleaning?
Correct nozzle selection and spray optimisation can reduce water consumption by 20‑40%. Rotary tank cleaning nozzles are more efficient than fixed nozzles, providing higher impact with less water.
