Expanded Line of Manifolds Ensures Proper Nozzle Positioning and Mounting

The devices that supply liquid and air to nozzles are critical to good performance. Spray manifolds prevent bends in tubing that can restrict flow, protect nozzles from debris, speed installation and maintenance and more. Manifolds are readily available and ordering from the same source that provides your nozzles eliminates integration and coordination problems and ensures optimum spray performance.

Channel Manifold: Basic spray nozzle manifold incorporated in a C-channel for easy mounting
Pipe-in-Pipe Manifold: Conventional spray manifold mounted inside a slotted pipe to protect nozzles from the external environment
53500 Modular Manifold: Lightweight, easy-to-assemble and available in standard- and large-capacity versions
58800 Manifold: Lightweight, compact manifold allows ability to service spray nozzles while keeping piping in place

Spray Manifolds, Headers and Showers

We have a wide range of standard stainless steel spray headers and showers. Options include:

Manual brush header/shower that utilize a hand wheel to rotate the brush assembly for quick and easy nozzle clean-out
Automatic brush header/shower that use a motor assembly to automatically rotate the internal brushes
Brushless header/shower that use ShowerJet® disc-type nozzles instead of a brush assembly to provide cleaning

During the cleaning cycle:

Spraying operation continues – brush activation does not impact system performance
The brushes scrub the interior of the header and each nozzle orifice
Debris is quickly removed and discharged through the flush-out valve. Full liquid flow is restored to the system without contaminating the sprayed surface
The header continues to spray during the flush-out operation

Special air atomizing headers are also available for critical moisturizing and applications with challenging physical space limitations or specific spray coverage requirements.

There are two basic options available:

Open channel, in stainless steel or aluminum, for use in applications where damage to the spray header/nozzles is unlikely
Enclosed box-style design, in 316 or 304 stainless steel, to protect the nozzles and feed lines

Descaling headers are also part of our offering. Often equipped with heat shields and protective plates, these headers can be fabricated in a wide variety of configurations and accommodate all of our DescaleJet® nozzles. We also offer custom solutions for a wide range of applications.
