Even though the process in the paper production uses high quality and long lasting jet nozzles, especially those with ruby inserts, most users regard these equipment as disposable items. Frequently these nozzles get replaced when dirt effects performance and the nozzles don’t produce a perfect laminar stream. Thanks to the modern quality and longevity of the new jet nozzles, this uneconomic and potentially expensive habit procedure becomes obsolete. Modern jet nozzles with ruby inserts perform with the same quality and longevity as new products after they were professionally cleaned and re-worked. Reinhold Gould, in cooperation with LS-Systems developed a dependable process to professionally clean and service used jet nozzles and restore their function like new. “We fully understand that these products are crucial in the production process and that guaranteeing the functionality after the cleaning process has to be an absolute must.“, explains Kersten Doms, General Manager of Reinhold-Gould GmbH. “Therefore, we test each individual nozzle for functionality and accuracy of the laminar stream after the cleaning process.“ To eliminate any risk fort the customer in regards to maintenance cost, each nozzle will be credited with the full value (according to the maintenance contract and depreciation) in case of performance failure. “The cost of re-working the trim nozzles with ruby inserts is for less than half of the cost of a new replacement and spray nozzles with a cleaned high quality nozzle with ruby insert are more economical than new regular stainless steel nozzles.“ explains Kersten Doms.
