GJ A6 Tank Cleaning

GJ A6 Tank Cleaning

Application

The Gamajet tank cleaning product range is world-renowned for setting high standards for cleanliness to enable companies to sustain high product quality and plant productivity. As part of that range, the Alfa Laval GJ A6 tank cleaning device delivers powerful tank cleaning that provides reliable, repeatable, and verifiable results to meet the demands of the pharmaceutical, personal care, beverage, food, and dairy industries. Designed to fit through a 3” (7.62 cm) sanitary fitting, the device is ready for permanent installation and is the perfect alternative to time-intensive spray balls and costly manual tank cleaning.

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.
