The ProJet b.v. cleaning heads are equipped with ProMax chemical spraying capability to enhance cleaning efficiency even further.

Contact Claus Robberts or Max Robberts to learn more details about ProMax and PLUS-mode. 

Graphic Pkg. justifies the investment based on reduction in water consumption: the ProCleaner use a single traversing head that cover the wires as fast as the existing conventional oscillating showers. The conventional HP Showers can be eliminated completely.
