Drawing on more than three decades experience in developing technical solutions for industry, Tecpro has designed and built a powerful spray nozzle hose assembly, the Bazooka, suitable for the toughest cleaning jobs and High Volume Wash Down.
As a specialist in spray nozzles and hose nozzle products, the team at Tecpro Australia is regularly called upon to advise on the best choice to deal with a range of challenging environments.
“Many enquiries we receive are from people responsible for worksites that are particularly grimy, such as coal mines,” said Graeme Cooper, Tecpro Australia’s Managing Director. “They are looking for a highly durable washdown nozzle assembly that can handle rough conditions and produce a powerful jet of water to clean very dirty surfaces.”
These enquiries led the Tecpro team to design and fabricate a robust hose nozzle assembly, the Bazooka, made of stainless steel and brass.
“Being entirely metal in construction, it’s much stronger than other standard spray guns on the market,” said Mr Cooper. “And we’ve deliberately made it with fewer parts so maintenance requirements are virtually non-existent. A swivel on the inlet also makes the assembly easy to handle and relieves strain on the wrist.”
The Bazooka features a unique nozzle that funnels the water to create a powerful, laminar flow for High Volume Wash Down.
“The design of the Bazooka means it produces a consistent flow at high pressure that will blast away tough grime such as coal dust build-up,” said Mr Cooper. “Our clients who use it love how effective it is for difficult cleaning jobs, and how it withstands really tough working conditions.”
Two sizes are available: the full size Bazooka that fits a one inch hose, and the Mini Bazooka that fits a three-quarter or one inch hose.
“Compared with traditional washdown guns, the Bazooka uses less water to produce such a powerful cleaning jet,” said Mr Cooper. “The design includes a valve so the flow can be quickly turned on and off by the user.”
Mr Cooper said Tecpro has been manufacturing the Bazooka for a few years now and it’s been particularly well received by customers in the mining sector. “Because we manufacture it ourselves, we can customise it to match the specific needs of individual customers.”
