How It Works

The Alfa Laval SaniMagnum SB Rotary Spray Head operates using high-impact rotational cleaning, ensuring a thorough and efficient tank cleaning process. Unlike static spray balls, which rely solely on liquid flow, the SaniMagnum SB actively rotates, covering the entire tank surface with precise, high-velocity jets.

Construction

The Alfa Laval SaniMagnum SB Rotary Spray Head is made of high-grade stainless steel, featuring:

  1. Rotary spray head for full tank coverage.
  2. One-clip locking system for quick access.
  3. Patented spray pattern technology ensuring efficient liquid impact.

Operating Principle

  1. Cleaning fluid enters the spray head, creating rotational movement.
  2. The head rotates, generating high-impact spray jets across the tank walls.
  3. Residues & contaminants are removed, ensuring hygienic cleaning with minimal liquid use.

Why Rotary Cleaning is More Effective?

  • Even Distribution: Ensures liquid reaches all internal surfaces.
  • Lower Water & Chemical Use: Optimized spray angles clean efficiently with less waste.
  • Shorter Cleaning Cycles: Reduces CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) time, increasing production uptime.

Why is this better than static spray balls?

Unlike traditional spray balls that rely on low-impact gravity flow, the SaniMagnum SB actively rotates, covering 100% of the tank surface for faster, more effective cleaning.
