GJ 10 Tank Cleaning

GJ 10 Tank Cleaning

Application

The Alfa Laval GJ 10 tank cleaning device fits through a 10.16 cm (4”) opening and is capable of cleaning a 113.56 liter (30,000 gal) underground fuel storage tank with one insertion. This device blasts away contaminants and breaks up dirt and sludge in minutes. The Alfa Laval GJ 10 easily converts the contaminant-laden sludge into a solution which allows for complete liquid extraction and thorough tank cleaning. The device is part of the world-renowned Gamajet range of tank cleaning devices.

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.
