rogressive Helix Mechanism (PHM) improves cleaning coverage of the nozzle by incrementally
changing the nozzle path. This device is a precision, geared indexing mechanism that shifts the nozzle starting position
every cycle to establish a more complete cleaning path while reducing tube erosion.

Gemini Sootblower Nozzle

This unique sootblower nozzle design maximizes energy delivered by both nozzle jets. The Gemini

can dramatically improve cleaning performance while significantly improving operating and maintenance costs.
