Description

DESCRIPTION

The Alfa Laval GJ 4 is a rotary jet head tank cleaning machine for industrial environments. Designed to clean tanks from 150-2250 m3 it combines pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets that rotate in a repeatable and reliable 360 degree cleaning pattern.

The GJ4 minimizes the consumption of water and cleaning media. The gear train, which uses food grade lubricants, reduces the risk of particle damage to the machine during operation. Easy to customize to meet customer requirements it allows companies to spend less time cleaning and more time producing.

APPLICATION

The Alfa Laval GJ 4 is designed for the removal of the toughest residues from industrial tanks across a broad range of industries, such as the fo0d & beverage, chemical, pulp and paper, ethanol, starch, transportation and oil industries.

BENEFITS

• 60% faster cleaning = more time for production
• Saves up to 70% of your cleaning costs
• Eliminates the need for confined space entry for manual tank cleaning.
• High impact cleaning in a 360 Degree repeatable cleaning pattern
• cleaning process can be validated using Alfa Laval Rotacheck
• Slim design makes it possible to insert through small tank inlet openings

STANDARD DESIGN

The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure. As standard documentation, the Alfa Laval GJ 4 can be supplied with a ” Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The high impact jet stream from the Alfa Laval GJ 4 rotary jet head covers the entire surface of the tank interior in a successively denser pattern. This achieves a powerful mechanical impact with a low volume of water and cleaning media.

The flow of the cleaning fluid makes the nozzles performa geared rotation around the vertical and horizontal axes. In the first cycle, the nozzles lay out a course pattern on the tank surface. The subsequent cycles gradually make the pattern denser until at full cleaning pattern is reached. Once the full cleaning pattern is reached, the machine will start over again and continue to perform the next full cleaning pattern.
