Custom orifice drilling; Why does it matter?
Every jetter has a
certain amount of flow and pressure output. That
output represents the maximum potential energy
available for cleaning activity. When the
total orifice area is matched to the pump’s
specifications, all the available energy is
harnessed. However, if the total orifice area is not
properly matched then performance suffers. If
the total orifice area too small, system
backpressure prevents full use of the available
system energy. Likewise, if the total
orifice area is too large, jet velocity and
therefore pulling power are reduced.
At Aqua Mole, your
pump’s pressure and flow specifications are
computer modeled to determine the optimum orifice
size for your selected spray pattern. Get the
most out of your equipment with Aqua Mole’s custom
orifice drilling.
As an added bonus,
custom drilling allows Aqua Mole to supply our
customers with special, or non standard spray
patterns, generally at no additional cost, and with
no shipping delays!

Spray Angle Functions
The correct drilling
of a nozzle's orifices assures that all of the
pump's energy is utilized. How that energy is
utilized depends on the angle selection. For
example, a long run will require a nozzle with more
pulling power, so a 25° or 35° angle might be
necessary. A totally blocked line will require a
forward jet in combination with high thrust jets to
break through the obstruction. Once a channel has
been cut, switching to a flushing nozzle (45° or 55°)
is useful for clearing the line. The drawing and
table explain the various angle options and their
functions.
