Alfa Laval GJ 5
Gamajet 5 (GJ5)
A Fast and Easy Way to Clean Small Tanks
The Alfa Laval Gamajet 5’s compact size readily passes through a 3 inch opening, making it ideal for cleaning small tanks, vats and vessels. The Alfa Laval GJ 5 Tank Cleaning Machine offers the cleaning power and flexibility you need. It surpasses spray balls, water blasting, boil outs, manual hose, and scraping and chipping. The Alfa Laval GJ 5 Tank Cleaning Machine is a fluid-driven, rotary tank cleaning machine designed to fit through small passageways and to clean smaller vessels (up to 15 inches (4.57 m) in diameter by 15 inches (4.57 m) high).
It revolves 360° in both the horizontal and vertical planes, with synchronized solid jets providing a tight and thorough scouring pattern on the inside tank surfaces in just one complete cycle. Its horizontal and vertical rotation patterns are interlocked and controlled by gears, not by any reaction forces. A choice of nozzle sizes, turbines and gear speeds offers a range of flow rates, pressures and wash cycle times.

PPLICATION
The Alfa Laval GJ 5 offers compact cleaning for small sized tanks, vats, and vessels. This device is designed for cleaning tanks 15 feet in diameter by 15 feet high and can easily fit through three inch openings. By switching from costly manual cleaning and time-intensive spray balls to the Alfa Laval GJ 5, companies are able to save a substantial amount of time, water, and money. The device is part of the world-renowned Gamajet range of high impact tank cleaning devices.
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 5 can be supplied with a “Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications.
OPTIONS
Electronic rotation sensor to verify 3-D coverage.
CAUTION
Do not use for gas evacuation or air dispersion.
