Mosmatic self-rotating cleaners clean the inside of tanks, containers, ducts, chutes, manholes and silos, and the sides of trucks, buses and trains. Each one fits a high pressure cleaner and is driven by the water itself through a Mosmatic swivel, so there is no motor: the head turns on its own and carries the spray around the space it is cleaning.
They are built in stainless steel. The rotor arms are precision-welded and balanced so they run smoothly, stabiliser nozzles on the Spider keep the impact of the jet over a longer distance, and an integrated magnetic brake on the Tank Cleaner lets its rotation speed be set to suit the pump.
The Mosmatic range
- Mosmatic Tank Cleaner: a 360° head for the inside of tanks and containers, with the rotation speed set by an integrated magnetic brake. It is driven only by water pressure, so the flow and pressure available decide which drive-angle version suits.
- Mosmatic Duct Cleaners: a self-rotating head in a protective cage for vent hoods, trash chutes, pipes and totes.
- Mosmatic Manhole Cleaner: a higher-flow head behind a protective stainless steel plate, for vertical manholes, lift stations and deep drops.
- Mosmatic Silo Cleaner: a folding arm with guide rollers that is lowered into the silo on a winch or cable, with stabiliser nozzles for reach.
- Mosmatic Spider: a long-range head with four stabiliser nozzles for trucks, buses, trains, construction vehicles and containers. The adjustable version lets the arm angle be set, which changes the rotation speed and the cleaning footprint.
- Mosmatic Rotor Arms: precision-welded, balanced stainless steel arms with two to four nozzles, for surface cleaners and self-rotating tools.

Frequently asked questions
How does a Mosmatic tank cleaner turn?
It is self-rotating, powered only by water pressure, and sprays a 360° pattern around the inside of the tank. An integrated magnetic brake lets the rotation speed be set, and different drive-angle versions suit different pump flows, so the flow and pressure available decide which version to choose. It is built entirely in stainless steel and rated to about 200 bar and 120 °C.
What is a duct cleaner used for?
Cleaning the inside of ducts and containers a lance cannot reach: vent hoods, trash chutes, pipes, totes, manholes and tanks. The Mosmatic duct cleaner is a self-rotating head in a protective cage. The adjustable-arm versions suit horizontal ducts and tanks, and the fixed-angle versions suit vertical chutes.
What is a Mosmatic Spider?
A hydro-driven rotating head with four stabiliser nozzles. The stabilisers use air injection to hold the water stream together over a longer distance, so it strikes hard without the head sitting right next to the surface. It is used on trains, buses, trucks, construction and military vehicles, and in container wash systems.
Why choose the adjustable Spider?
Where several heads run together, as on a truck-wash arch, they never receive exactly the same water and pressure, so they turn at different speeds. The adjustable arm lets each head be set to the right speed, and a head that turns only as fast as the work needs lasts longer.
Can the rotor arm on a surface cleaner be replaced?
Yes, and a bent one should be. An arm that has struck an obstacle runs out of balance, which damages the swivel bearings and can lead to the swivel failing. Mosmatic TKA rotor arms are precision-welded and balanced stainless steel, in two, three and four-nozzle versions.
Can these heads be run in the open?
No. Mosmatic states that duct cleaners and rotor arms must not be operated unprotected. Run each head inside the guard, cage, tank, duct or housing it is designed for.
