The Challenge: Achieving Safe and Efficient Excavation
Hydro excavation has revolutionized the way we approach digging, offering a non-destructive method to expose underground utilities. However, the effectiveness of this technique heavily relies on the tools used—particularly the nozzles. Without the right nozzle, operators may face challenges such as:
-
Reduced Precision: Inaccurate water streams can damage underground utilities.
-
Increased Water Usage: Inefficient nozzles may require more water, leading to higher operational costs.
-
Longer Project Timelines: Ineffective soil cutting can slow down the excavation process.
The Solution: High-Performance Nozzles
At Haaker Underground, we understand the pivotal role nozzles play in hydro excavation. By utilizing advanced nozzles, operators can achieve:
-
Enhanced Precision: Targeted water streams minimize the risk of damaging underground assets.
-
Water Efficiency: Optimized flow patterns reduce water consumption.
-
Faster Excavation: Effective soil disruption accelerates the digging process.
Spotlight on Vactor’s HXXpose™ and Reveal™ Nozzles
Vactor HXXpose™ Nozzle
The HXXpose™ nozzle is engineered for increased productivity and operator safety in typical hydro excavation applications. It delivers a 0-degree stream of water at pressures up to 3,200 PSI, rotating at high speed to provide an 18-degree cone of coverage. This design allows for faster digging with less water, enabling operators to remain on the job longer with reduced downtime for water tank refills. This stream rotates at high speed, creating an 18-degree cone of coverage. It is highly effective for potholing, as its rotating action loosens a larger area of soil while using the same amount of water as a standard straight jet nozzle. This design boosts efficiency and reduces water waste.
Vactor Reveal™ Nozzle
The Reveal™ nozzle is a high-performance, configurable straight jet hydro excavation nozzle designed to improve productivity while digging with water. It requires less water, making digging easier and causing less fatigue. The nozzle’s design allows for customization of flow rates and jet configurations, providing efficient, high-impingement streams to break up soil effectively. The Vactor Reveal nozzle is a straight jet hydro-excavation tool engineered for better performance and ease of use. It consumes less water, making excavation tasks easier and less tiring, especially during long projects. Built with a durable stainless steel body, it resists corrosion and is designed to last. Its high-visibility orange guard, made from UHMW material, improves wear resistance and makes the nozzle tip easy to spot. The Reveal nozzle can be customized to meet different needs by adjusting water flow rates. By using the provided plugs, it can switch between triple, double, or single jet configurations. Its precise water streams break up soil effectively, maximizing material shear stress to simplify digging. Optimized spray patterns and flow make this nozzle highly efficient for tasks like utility locating, potholing, and trenching. Haaker Underground
