Suttner ST160 Chemical Injector – Precision for Softwash, Foaming & Downstream Applications
The Suttner ST160 is a high-performance chemical injector, also known as a venturi, designed to deliver consistent and efficient chemical dosing for softwash, foaming, and downstream injector setups. Whether you’re cleaning roofs, washing down vehicles, or applying detergents for commercial surface cleaning, the ST160 is a reliable tool that helps you get professional results, fast.
Manufactured in Germany by RM Suttner, this injector is known for its durable build quality, smart design, and ability to work under high pressure (up to 350 bar). It’s trusted by water blaster operators across industries – from roof cleaning specialists and house washers to agriculture and food-processing contractors.
Two Key Uses: Downstream Injecting & Foaming
The ST160 is ideal for two main types of chemical application:
1. Downstream Injecting (Softwash):
In a downstream setup, the injector is installed after the pump. When you switch your water blaster to low pressure, the ST160 uses venturi action to draw chemical into the water flow. This makes it perfect for softwash applications where lower pressure and chemical mixing are essential—such as roof cleaning, exterior walls, or delicate surfaces.
2. Foaming Applications:
For foaming, the ST160 can be tuned to work with a foaming lance or attachment, delivering thick, even foam coverage for cleaning vehicles, equipment, or surfaces. Proper foam generation relies on both chemical concentration and air mixing, so having the correct injector setup is key.
Custom Setup Based on Your Water Blaster
One of the most important things to know about the ST160 is that its internal components must be matched to your water blaster’s flow rate and intended use.
There are internal nozzle and orifice combinations that determine:
- The rate of chemical draw
- Whether the injector is suited for foaming or downstream injecting
- Compatibility with different flow rates (litres per minute) and pressures
For this reason, we strongly recommend giving us a call before purchasing, so we can set it up correctly for your machine. Getting the setup right means you’ll get reliable chemical draw, proper dilution, and avoid wasted time or inconsistent performance.
