Smallest rotary impingement tank cleaner: 1.5” (38 mm) clearance
Operates at both high and low pressures
Powerful: 5 lbs (2.5 kg) of cleaning force at 2.5’ (0.75 m)
APPLICATION
The smallest rotary impingement tank cleaning device, the Alfa Laval GJ 7 easily fits through a 1 ½ inch access hole. Capable of operating at both high and low pressures, this device delivers five pounds of cleaning force at 2 ½ feet. The Alfa Laval GJ 7 offers quick and easy cleaning of barrels, drums, and other small vessels in a wide variety of industries. 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 7 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.

Self Cleaning and Draining
Ideal for Totes and IBCs
APPLICATION
The Alfa Laval GJ 9 is part of the world-renowned Gamajet range of high impact tank cleaning devices. The device offers compact cleaning for small tanks, totes, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) in both industrial and hygienic applications. With fewer parts and a highly durable design, the Alfa Laval GJ 9 provides superior performance and is the most versatile rotary jet head available. This device readily passes through three inch openings and can handle high pressures and temperatures, enabling quick and easy cleaning of small totes/IBCs, tanks, trash carts, and much more. Companies are able to clean in-house, saving a substantial amount of time, water, and money.

The device operates effectively at both high 70 bar (1000 PSI) and low 3 bar (40PSI) pressures, providing flexible options and potentially reducing cleaning time. Cleaning is often carried out with 4-8 minutes.
Gamajet BB
The Alfa Laval GJ BB combines high performance impingement with dramatically increased durability that provides a service life three times longer than the best existing cleaning machine. The fluid-driven Alfa Laval GJ BB requires no external power supply and features the same impingement cleaning technology and performance as the widely recognized Alfa Laval GJ 7 Barrel Blaster.
It also combines heavy-duty stainless steel construction with a larger gear train, which remains outside the barrel during cleaning, to provide exceptional durability. With a single insertion, 100% cleaning effectiveness can be achieved quickly and easily.
The Alfa Laval GJ BB is easily attached to a bi-pod mount for traditional bung hole down cleaning. A ball valve attached to the mount allows for convenient water control directly to the bi-pod. Usable with all existing storage and rack systems, the Alfa Laval GJ BB provides exceptional barrel cleaning convenience. Users can reliably clean barrels without ever lifting a barrel.

TRAX SIMULATION TOOL
TRAX is a unique software that simulates how the Alfa Laval GJ BB 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 device and the correct combination of flow, time, and pressure to implement. A TRAX demo, which shows different cleaning simulations with a variety of applications, can be used as a reference and documentation for tank cleaning applications. The TRAX demo is free and available upon request.
