Alfa Laval GJ A2, GJ A6 and GJ PF FT rotary jet heads

Alfa Laval has added three rotary jet heads to its portfolio: GJ A2, GJ A6 and GJ PF FT.

This provides easy installation of rotary jet head technology in small size tank openings like 3″ or 4″, where static spray ball and rotary spray heads are normally mounted today. By retrofitting with one of the three small jet heads, the user avoids reworking the tank to accommodate upgrading tank cleaning equipment, meaning low installation cost.

When higher cleaning efficiency is required, it is easy to upgrade static spray balls to the GJ Rotary Jet Head technology. Simply unclip the static spray ball and replace it with a new clip-on rotary jet head that uses a cleaning pattern ensuring dynamic and effective distribution of water to the inner tank surfaces. The high mechanical force generated by the strong jet impingement efficiently removes remaining products and residues to provide the best conditions required for hygienic production.

Rotary jet heads are said to clean tanks 70% faster than the static spray ball technology. Because of faster cleaning, less water and chemicals are used, thereby reducing operating costs by up to 80%, according to the company. They provide easy cleanability, a safer end product and greater overall output for all hygienic applications.
