Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0140505A1] An industrial component fluid jet (10) has a nozzle (12) comprising two coaxial tubes. The outer tube has a stepped bore. An annular swirl plate (15) is spigotted into an intermediate diameter bore portion (16) and has an end of the inner tube (22) spigotted into it. Cleaning fluid passed through the swirl plate (15) emerges into a chamber (21) with an axial directional component and a spinning action to form a hollow cone spray. Fluid emerging from the inner tube (22) only forms a pinpoint jet but cooperates with spinning fluid emerging simultaneously from the swirl plate (15) to form a solid cone jet. The jet (10) may be operated and orientated by a robot.
