This bachelor's thesis presents the design and development of a rotary cleaning nozzle
intended for cleaning complex surfaces using compressed air. Based on a review of existing
industrial solutions, a modular design was developed that enables different nozzle
configurations by replacing the rotating arms while retaining the same housing. Analytical
calculations were performed to determine the mass and volumetric air flow rates,
compressed air consumption, and air outlet velocity. Based on the obtained results, the
appropriate geometric parameters of the outlet nozzles were defined, and a functional
prototype made of an aluminum alloy was manufactured. The developed nozzle was
compared with an existing industrial solution manufactured by KIST+ESCHERICH. The
comparison showed that the proposed design achieves comparable overall dimensions while
significantly reducing manufacturing costs. The developed prototype provides a solid
foundation for future experimental evaluation of cleaning performance and further
optimization of the design.
