Sanijet 20 cleaningAlfa Laval Toftejorg SaniJet 20

The Alfa Laval Toftejorg SaniJet 20 Rotary Jet Head is an externally driven tank cleaning machine that is ideal for use in sa

nitary industries, such as food and beverage, dairy, as well as pharmaceutical and personal care. The self-cleaning, self-draining design with the drive mechanism located outside of the tank make it suitable to clean highly viscous or foaming debris from the interior of tanks and vessels between 130 and 8000 gallons. The SaniJet 20 is designed for permanent installation and provides maximum cleaning coverage.

To achieve the best possible cleaning results, Toftejorg Rotary jet heads use an optimized high-impact jet pattern to provide the highest possible coverage. Cleaning patterns reach the inner tank surfaces to ensure the most effective clean-in-place (CIP) solution possible.

The jet pressure, or force of impact, efficiently removes residue to provide the hygienic conditions required for batch production. Self-draining and self-cleaning, inside and out, all Toftejorg Rotary jet heads devices comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The Alfa Laval Rotacheck system verifies every cleaning cycle to ensure compliance with today’s strict hygiene standards.

The self-cleaning, self-draining design with the drive mechanism located outside of the tank make it suitable to clean highly viscous or foaming debris from the interior of tanks and vessels between 130 and 8000 gallons.

Dynamic tank cleaning machines

The high-impact jet stream from the four nozzle rotary jet head is pre-programmed 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.

Maintenanace

Although our tank cleaning machines are designed for durability, periodic maintenance keeps the world’s best tank cleaning machines performing at their peak.
For an extended shelf life of your tank cleaning machine, preventative maintenance every 250 – 500 hours is advised. If you take proper care, your machine(s) will far outlast your tanks.

APPLICATION

The device meets the highest standards in sanitary cleaning and is designed for use in pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food, and dairy processing applications. It is suitable for tanks and vessels between 0.5 and 30 m3. It is especially well-suited to processing highly viscous, foaming, or thixotropic products and to chemical processing applications where product cross-contamination is unacceptable.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The Toftejorg SaniJet 20 is a sanitary, rotary jet head device that cleans in a 3D indexed “Golden Section” pattern. It has an integrated self-cleaning (patent pending) and self-draining downpipe. The drive mechanism is located outside the tank, leaving a minimum of parts inside the vessel or to be submerged into the product. The distance between the tracks of the jets ensures efficient removal of residual product from the tank surface, from the start of the cleaning sequence, allowing for quick jet effective cleaning.

STANDARD DESIGN

The Toftejorg SaniJet 20 is available in media-driven or air-driven version. Air-driven versions are equipped with a magnetic clutch for leakage-proof transmission. The air motor provides an effective drive for low flow machines in rough environments and for use in explosive hazard zones, provided it is installed according to safety instructions. The air motor has variable speed to adjust cleaning intensity.

The sanitary construction of the Toftejorg SaniJet 20 is designed with the aim to meet regulations. As standard documentation, it can be supplied with a “Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications. ATEX approved, Category 1 for installation in zone 0/20.
