Alfa Laval GJ18 Rotary Jet Head

Application 

The Alfa Laval GJ18 is designed for the removal of the toughest residues from industrial tanks across a broad range of industries, such as the chemical, pulp and paper, steel, starch, and tank truck wash industries. 

Working Principle 

The high-impact jet stream from the Alfa Laval GJ18 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 of water and cleaning media. The flow of the cleaning fluid makes the nozzles perform a 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 pattern is reached, the machine will start over again and continue to perform the next full cleaning pattern. 

Standard Design

The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pleasures. Alfa Laval offers a wide range of tank cleaning machines suitable for different duties and 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 360° repeatable cleaning pattern
• Ideal solution for tank truck washing
• New patented gear design with long running hours

Features 

• Longer Uptime: Existing tank cleaners last 800 – 1000 hours before maintenance is required. The Alfa Laval GJ18 will run twice as long before needing service. 
• Longer product life: The Alfa Laval GJ18’s patented over-sized “cartridge style” gear train is proven to last at least five times the wear time versus other tank cleaners. 
• Lower maintenance costs: Costs to replace minor kits in the GJ18 are 70%-75% less than other tank cleaners. Major kit replacements will cost 35%-40% less. 
• Simple to install: The pressure and the flow of the GJ18 match those of existing tank cleaners, so minimal adjustments are needed for installations. 
• Easy to maintain: The GJ18 has a few individual parts than exiting tank cleaners
