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. It is this impact and the tangential force that radiates from that point which 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.
The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure. As standard documentation, the Alfa Laval GJ A6 can be supplied with a “Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications.

The Alfa Laval GJ 9 is ideal to clean IBCs and small vessels. The unit easily fits through openings as narrow as 76mm (3”). 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.
Focused on product development and engineering, the operations team at Alfa Laval is dedicated to evolving their product line and improving upon existing machines. The Alfa Laval GJ A2 was created as a solution for pharmaceutical cleaning needs, but works cohesively in any sanitary environment. Self-cleaning, self-flushing, and self-lubricating, the machine requires no oil or grease in the gear train and can withstand higher flow rates, resulting in higher impact cleaning. It is also resistant to deionized water—all while maintaining a longer shelf life than its prototype.
Capable of both permanent and portable installation, the GJ A2 is ideal for effective cleaning of small tanks, up to ten inches in diameter, in a repeatable and reliable 360° pattern. Like other Gamajet tank cleaning machines, the GJ A2 is entirely fluid-driven with no external motors, therefore eliminating the need for power assistance.

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 Alfa Laval GJA rotary jet heads are capable of operating at both high and low pressures.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

The first device for cleaning the underside of tank agitators
Cleaning processing tanks with center obstructions can be tricky, costly, and time-consuming. However, with the new Alfa Laval BladeClean, it doesn’t have to be. This tank cleaning device is perfect for any size tank with agitator blades. Incorporating this device into your tank cleaning process will enable your company to eliminate confined space entry and drastically reduce time spent cleaning, boosting overall tank productivity.
Designed for permanent installation, the retractable Alfa Laval BladeClean is installed into the bottom of the tank and when activated, operates at 2 bar (30 psi) and higher, causing a cone of water jets up to 7.6 m (25’) to spray upward at the underside of the tank agitator blades. Reaching up to 4.5 kg (10 lbs.) of force, the water jets clean the agitator blades of product residue. With a positive seal built in to prevent product migration, pair this device with your favorite Alfa Laval Gamajet or Toftejorg rotary impingement tank cleaning device for a fast and effective clean-in-place process.
