HydroClaw Clog-Resistant Tank Cleaning Nozzles

HydroClaw Clog-Resistant Tank Cleaning Nozzles

The HydroClaw™ nozzle features a patent-pending, clog-resistant design that delivers powerful, consistent coverage for tanks up to 3 m (10 ft) in diameter. Unlike traditional spray balls, its open-flow passages prevent blockages while maintaining high-impact cleaning performance.

Engineered for food, beverage, chemical, and personal care applications, the HydroClaw™ reduces water, energy, and chemical use while ensuring fast, efficient cleaning cycles.
