High-impact, low-resource cleaning
The high-impact jet stream from the rotary jet head is preprogrammed to cover the inside of the tank in a continually denser pattern. This achieves a powerful mechanical impact with a low volume of water, acid or caustic. Most of the GJ rotary jet heads are capable of operating at both high and low pressures.
Smoother, long-lasting performance
The Alfa Laval GJ range includes a unique, grease-lubricated gear to ensure that potentially damaging particles are not trapped in the gear during CIP recirculation. This innovative design ensures a smoother performance and reduces wear and tear.
Energy-efficient design
A faster tank cleaning cycle also cuts energy consumption. Cleaning fluid flows through the nozzles in an automated, geared rotation around the vertical and horizontal axes. In the first cycle, the nozzles lay out a coarse pattern on the tank surface, with subsequent cycles progressively densifying the pattern over the course of eight cycles.

APPLICATION
The Alfa Laval GJ 4 is part of the world-renowned Gamajet range of high impact tank cleaning devices. The device provides high-impact cleaning for large-sized tanks with diameters over 15 feet. The Alfa Laval GJ 4 is designed to remove the toughest residues from large tanks in numerous industries and is customizable in a wide variety of ways. The Alfa Laval GJ 4 allows companies to spend less time cleaning and more time producing.
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. This impact, and the tangential force that radiates from that point, 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.
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.
OPTIONS

105 Degree Directional Cleaning for the Toughest Residues on the Bottom of the Tank
Need to the clean the bottom of a tank fast and effectively? Look no further than the NEW Gamajet Bullet IV for tough, targeted cleaning of sludge, oil, or any type of residual debris that collects at the bottom of large tanks, open-top tanks, process vessels and trailers. The Gamajet Bullet rotates in a tight 105 degree downward pattern, with high impact water jets scouring the bulls eye area of the tank, quickly and effectively cleaning residual heels and difficult debris. Built with durability, strength, and performance in mind, residues don’t stand a chance against this machine.
The Bullet IV features Gamajet’s patented rotary impingement cleaning process. This process optimizes the water or cleaning solution driving the device, providing the maximum force from the jet stream leaving the nozzles and contacting the interior of the tank. The machine then moves the jet streams in a rotational pattern to cover the entire inside of the tank or vessel in a repeatable and reliable manner. The design of the machine not only ensures durability but efficiency as well. A minimal and controlled amount of leakage allows the machine to clean itself, while the majority of the fluid reaches the actual contour of the tank, scouring and cascading bit by bit.

Marine application
Used in the offshore industry and in petrochemicals and chemical processing industries, the T-82 is grease lubricated and designed to clean tanks in a rough environment, e.g. it is widely used in mud tanks on supply vessels and oil rigs where solid particles are in the cleaning media. It is also widely used on barges and product tankers.
The TZ-82 and TZ-75 machines are widely used as portable tank cleaning machines on oil-, product- and chemical tankers.
APPLICATION
The Toftejorg TZ-67 rotary jet head provides 3D indexed impact cleaning over a defined time period. It is automatic and represents a guaranteed means of achieving quality assurance in tank cleaning. The device is suitable for processing, storage, and transportation tanks and vessels between 50 and 500 m3. Used mainly in breweries, food, and dairy processes, the Toftejorg TZ-67 is particularly well-suited to portable applications where high impact is required.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
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 coarse pattern on the tank surface. The subsequent cycles gradually make the pattern more dense, until a full pattern is reached after eight cycles.
TRAX SIMULATION TOOL
TRAX is a unique software that simulates how the Toftejorg TZ-67 performs in a specific tank or vessel. The simulation gives information on wetting intensity, pattern mesh width, and cleaning jet velocity. This information is used to determine the best location of the tank cleaning machine and the correct combination of flow, time, and pressure to implement. A TRAX demo containing different cleaning simulations covering a variety of applications can be used as reference and documentation for tank cleaning applications. A TRAX simulation is free and available upon request.
Caution: Do not use for gas evacuation or air dispersion.
STANDARD DESIGN
The choice of nozzle diameters can optimise jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure. Complete portable systems can comprise a four-wheel carriage and hose winch. As standard documentation, the Toftejorg TZ-67 can be supplied with a “Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications.

Dynamic tank cleaning machines
The high-impact jet stream from the four nozzle rotary jet head is preprogrammed to cover the inside of the tank in a successively denser pattern. This provides a powerful mechanical impact, using a low volume of water, acid or caustic. A faster tank cleaning cycle also cuts energy consumption.
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 coarse pattern on the tank surface. Subsequent cycles gradually make the pattern more dense, until a full pattern is reached after eight cycles. This all takes place automatically and provides users with an effective path to quality assurance guarantees in tank cleaning, complete with all the necessary documentation.
Toftejorg rotary jet heads are ideal for cleaning processing, storage and transportation tanks and other vessels used in process, sanitary, pharmaceutical and other industries.
