ky Powerful tank cleaning at a range of pressures and flows

Alfa Laval GJ PF FT

Application
The Alfa Laval GJ PF FT tank cleaning device provides companies with
up to 85% savings in water, time, energy, and resources compared to
static spray ball tank cleaning. It is ideal for retrofit applications in tanks
with capacities between 18.9 m - 94.6 m (5,000-25,000 gallons) in
hygienic applications, such as food and beverage and personal care
environments. The Alfa Laval GJ PF FT fits through openings as small
as 10 cm (4) and operates at low pressures and flows.

Working principle
The GJ 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.

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 PF
FT version can be supplied with a Declaration of Conformity for material specifications.

TRAX simulation tool

TRAX is a unique software that simulates how the Alfa Laval GJ PF FT version 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 containing different cleaning simulations covering 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.
