LH Stainless can provide a wide range of cleaning heads for most CIP applications. We are also distributors for Toftejorg tank cleaning systems.
Fixed spray balls
Fixed spray balls are low cost, low maintenance. They operate at low pressure (2 bar) but use high volumes of water. Cleaning times are long and range tends to be about 2 - 3 metres. These items have a fixed spray pattern and are not really suitable when the vessel is badly soiled or has material baked on.
Rotary Cleaning Heads for Smaller Vessels Up To 4m diameter
Rotary cleaning heads are higher cost than spray balls. They operate at higher pressure but use a lower volume of water. They are normally more effective over shorter periods so reducing down time of plant and lowering detergent costs. They can be supplied with a variety of different spray patterns, some of the common ones are shown in the diagram to the right.
Rotary Cleaning Heads For Larger Vessels
These heads are high-pressure units with directional jets offering fast cleaning times. Higher capital costs are involved but fully indexed coverage at long range using low volumes of water and detergent will compensate for this.
Spray Patterns
This Diagram shows some of the common spray patterns available. There are many more patterns to suit individual requirements and in the case of Large Rotary Cleaning Heads specific areas of the vessel can be avoided if necessary.
The illustrations above cover cleaning heads, which may be used on most projects, but there are applications where specific cleaning requirements mean more specialist heads. If there is a cleaning situation, which is causing problems, please contact us and we will be pleased to help
