Alfa Laval TJ40G rotary tank cleaning machine

The Alfa Laval TJ40G rotary tank cleaning machine uses a high-impact jet stream to effectively clean tough tank residues and minimise the risk of product contamination. The four-nozzle rotary jet head is said to clean tanks 60% faster than static spray ball technology, which increases production uptime. Because it cleans faster, the device also uses less water and less cleaning agent, thereby reducing operating costs.

The product is capable of handling tough tank residues, as well as solids up to 1 mm in the cleaning fluid, in tank sizes from 50–1000 m³. This is particularly important for demanding process lines, where both the size and the amount of particles may be recirculated in cleaning media before completing the cleaning cycle.

Not only does the rotary tank cleaning machine provide cleaning of the tank interior, it also cleans itself inside and out. Its hygienic, self-cleaning construction ensures that the flow of the cleaning fluid reaches the exterior surfaces of the rotary jet head, as well as the critical interior components such as all bushings, bearings and inner surfaces. This minimises the risk of product contamination and ensures a high product quality.

A low pressure loss over the machine is said to provide increased cleaning efficiency compared with other tank cleaning machines running at the same inlet pressure. This results in lower cleaning cost as the unit can run at lower pressure/flow compared to other tank cleaning machines. The device complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
