Spanish term or phrase: jabalinas vs. lanzas

En un documento sobre ingeniería básica de remediación de una laguna, específicamente en una tabla de equipos y sus funciones, dice:

"**Jabalinas** de xx” con mangueras
Función: inyección de producto y aire

**Lanza ** con manguera
Función: inyección de producto

Otros de los equipos que aparecen son: compresor, motobomba, difusores de manguera, tanques, fast tank, skimmer

¿Será javelin y spear o existe alguna manera técnica de decirlo?

Muchísimas gracias
