GJ 9 Tank Cleaning

GJ 9 Tank Cleaning

Application

The Alfa Laval GJ 9 is part of the world-renowned Gamajet range of high impact tank cleaning devices. The device offers compact cleaning for small tanks, totes and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) in both industrial and hygienic applications. With fewer parts and a highly durable design, the Alfa Laval GJ 9 provides superior performance and is the most versatile rotary jet head available. This device readily passes through 76 mm openings and can handle high pressures and temperatures, enabling quick and easy cleaning of small totes/IBCs, tanks, trash carts, and much more. Companies are able to clean in-house and in half the time, saving a substantial amount of time, water, and money.

Working principle

The Gamajet range of high impact tank cleaning devices combine pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point at which the concentrated stream impacts the surface. It is this impact and the tangential force that radiates from that point which blasts contaminants from the surface, scouring the tank interior. In conjunction with this impact, the device is engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable and reliable, 360° pattern. This full-coverage, global indexing pattern ensures the entire tank interior is cleaned, every time.

Cost-effective impingement tank and tote cleaning

A quantum leap in-tank cleaner durability, efficiency, and price, the Gamajet 9 is a totally new tank cleaning system.  The Gamajet 9 tank cleaning machine offers compact cleaning for small and mid-sized tanks with fewer parts, and a highly durable design, providing superior performance at an affordable price, making it the ultimate tote washer. Fewer parts mean fewer breakdowns and lower maintenance costs. Coupled with our renowned product quality, the revolutionary Gamajet 9 tank cleaning Machine designed-in durability allows its use in rugged applications in the harshest environments.

The Gamajet 9, like other Gamajets, is a high-quality tank cleaning machine. Originally designed for tote cleaning applications, the Gamajet 9 tank cleaning machine is also perfect for other small and mid-sized tank cleaning applications. Its 360° spray pattern provides thorough scouring of the entire tank or tote, reducing operating time and costs. At an unbelievably low price, the Gamajet 9 tank cleaning machine sets the standard for cost-effective impingement tank cleaning and tote washing.
