SuperKlean washdown nozzles

Written By Bob Rudy, VP SuperKlean VP Worldwide Sales & Marketing

SuperKlean Washdown Products has been designing, manufacturing, and selling an ever-expanding number of different models, types, and colors of our famous industrial quality washdown nozzles, for 34 years. Today, with over 28 different industrial nozzle choices, SuperKlean is regarded worldwide as a top-tier, highest quality, industrial nozzle manufacturer.

SuperKlean is continuously adding new versions of our nozzles at our customer’s requests. Through the decades we have found that users have different preferences in both model type, metallic construction, and color – that often do not fit a distinct pattern. With that in mind, here is a Quick Guide to Choosing the Best industrial or commercial nozzle that can match your needs:

The SuperKlean DuraFlow Series:

Rugged, lightweight and perfect for very hot water or steam-heated water, with a front trigger cover on all models to protect employees from getting sprayed or scalded. This nozzles comes in 4 versions:

The “Classic” DH DuraFlow: A mainstay in worldwide industries for over 20 years, this is one of our best sellers, available in red, white or dark blue. Multiple spray settings can be ‘locked-in’ and automatically disengages spraying when dropped. Great for any market, especially those desiring lightweight, stainless steel construction.

X Nozzle

The DuraFlow “X”: Built on the Classic Nozzle’s durability, this SuperKlean nozzle was enhanced to stand strong against 1600+ chemicals sprayed through it, or in environments where chemicals are used, or where plant managers require reduced bacteria build-up. The “X” hot water nozzle is widely used in virtually all types of food and beverage applications, plus pharma, nutraceuticals, and dozens of other vertical markets where the purity of products being made is paramount.

The DuraFlow Dairy: SuperKlean’s new “Milking Parlor” nozzle, available in red or blue, has been scientifically designed for complete and precise cow-teat spraying, both pre-milking and post-milking, providing friendly protectants and healthy benefits to cow teats in the tens of thousands of dairy cow milking parlors across the world. Featuring the same ruggedized, long-life DuraFlow capabilities, our durable, special-designed spray tips provide full teat coverage to help keep cows healthy and producing the best milk products in the world! Did you know that over 270 Million Dairy Cows need to be milked 2 time a day? That’s over a billion treatments/sprays needed to keep that milk flowing and those cows happy and healthy.

The DuraFlow Mini: The little cousin of the DuraFlow Classic, also in long-lasting stainless steel, but without a front trigger cover. Lightweight and loved by many vertical markets, especially in applications where a smaller stainless steel nozzle is preferred. Popular in wineries, dairies, and various other markets requiring lower levels of bacteria build up, and areas where weight and a front trigger guard are not required.

The Standard Nozzle Series: Called our “Standard Series,” because this design has been a standard for many decades, just like SuperKlean. Available in ultra-rugged brass, or lighter-weight aluminum or reliable, long-lasting stainless steel. Additional colors include light blue or gray, some of the 35,000 or more plants and factories, just in North America, have preferred this style for over 30 years!

The Standard “Lite” Nozzle: Another smaller, lighter cousin in bronze, this time for the Standard family. Smaller in size for superb ergonomics and smaller hands this nozzle is used in virtually every vertical market, especially those with an eye on modern design, in almost every type of plant, factory, farm or setting. Just as with all SuperKlean nozzles, this more compact design stands up to whatever task you throw at it, and even saves up to 7% in water usage with a strong, variable stream of hot water.

The Standard ThermoSmart Nozzle: With a built-in, easy to see temperature sensor on the top, available in dark blue, red, or white brass, light blue aluminum, or gray or white stainless steel.
