Engineered to Improve Alignment. Built to Reduce Downtime
The ShowerJet® 115680 one-piece nozzle from Spraying Systems Co. represents a significant advancement in shower system maintenance. This patented nozzle combines three components — the orifice, gasket, and retainer, into a single, durable unit that simplifies installation and eliminates common failure points found in traditional designs. Purpose-built for the demands of papermaking, this nozzle reduces maintenance labor, improves spray consistency, and increases operational efficiency across the board.

A Smarter Nozzle for Paper Mills
Papermills face narrow shutdown windows and increasingly lean maintenance crews. Every delay during nozzle changeouts impacts uptime, labor scheduling, and production goals. Traditional three-piece shower nozzles introduce complexity, requiring technicians to align tabs, seat gaskets, and secure retainer rings, all within tight spaces and under pressure.
This one-piece ShowerJet® nozzle eliminates these obstacles. Using a standard ¾” hex key, the nozzle screws in quickly with no alignment tabs or loose components to manage. Spray orientation is easy to confirm visually, and the one-piece construction ensures consistent performance, even in fiber-rich and high-pressure environments.
What Maintenance Crews Are Saying
“We used to spend more time inside the hood fighting the lock ring than actually getting nozzles installed. The old setup slowed everything down during shutdowns. Since switching to the one-piece design, installs are faster, easier, and we haven’t had alignment issues since.”
— Maintenance Supervisor, Midwest Papermill
This kind of feedback echoes across facilities worldwide. Whether it’s tissue production in North America to packaging board in Europe, papermakers report similar pain points — component misalignment, dropped parts, and extended changeout cycles. The one-piece ShowerJet® nozzle is designed to address these issues directly.
Why the Design Matters
Installing a 3-piece shower nozzle requires agility, patience, and luck—especially in tight enclosures. Misaligned tabs lead to crooked spray patterns. Lost rings result in rework or downtime. Over time, these small issues become major inefficiencies and can lead to machine damage. The one-piece ShowerJet® eliminates these friction points. With only one part to install, there’s no risk of dropping components or incorrectly seating the nozzle. The result is faster turnaround, fewer errors, and consistent spray coverage that supports optimal cleaning and water use.
