1. A nozzle head configured to produce at least two jets of pressurized fluid converging to a common convergence point, the nozzle head comprising a casing housing at least two outlet ports each configured to produce a corresponding one of the jets of pressurized fluid,
wherein at least one of the outlet ports is formed on an adjustable positioning element housed within the casing and whose position can be adjusted to control an angle of the resulting jet of pressurized fluid and thus allow adjustment of a position of the convergence point,
and wherein each adjustable positioning element comprises a bearing element exhibiting a substantially spherical outer surface.
