Alfa Laval rotary jet head tank cleaning device

The Alfa Laval rotary jet head tank cleaning device is designed for marine, hygienic, biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications. It is available in various sizes and different configurations covering any tank size.

Because of the design of the rotary jet head, the first of eight cleaning cycles hits the tank wall at an evenly dense cleaning pattern throughout the entire tank surface. The distance between the footprint tracks is relatively wide, but if the product is easy to clean off (eg, milk or syrup), it only requires little wall shear stress in order to be removed. This means the pre-rinse cleaning of the tank is done using only one cleaning cycle, saving time, water and energy.

One cleaning cycle typically takes 1–3 min. Once the product is effectively removed from the tank wall, the jet will offset the second cleaning cycle and thereby minimise the distances between the jets. More cleaning cycles are needed for products that are harder to clean.
