GJ
The Alfa Laval GJ equipment product line offers a wide range of tank cleaning machines for industrial and hygienic applications, such as paint, steel, pulp & paper, chemicals, and oil & gas. The range spans from being able to clean small storage/process tanks to the big industrial fermenters and storage tanks of sizes more than 5678m3 (1.5 million gallons). The line also includes a special unit to clean underground storage tanks through one way opening.
Efficiency, safety, and cost savings
- Reduces water and resource usage, leading to reduced cost to clean.
- Eliminates the need for confined space entry for manual tank cleaning.
- Durable and reliable, rotary jet heads are proven to boost cleaning efficiency by providing reliable and repeatable cleaning performance.
- Fast cleaning time = More production time.
- Cleaning process can be validated using Alfa Laval RotaCheck
The Alfa Laval GJ equipment is designed for the removal of the toughest residues from industrial and hygienic industries, such as those containing paint, oil, food products, and home care products. Each model is easy to customize to meet specific customer requirements, helping companies reduce downtime and increase productivity. Whether cleaning small containers or large industrial tanks, the GJ series enables more time for production and less time spent on cleaning.
The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure.
How does the GJ equipment work
High-impact, low-resource cleaning with GJ equipment
The high-impact jet stream from the rotary jet head is pre-programmed 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 GJ rotary jet heads tank cleaning machines, are capable of operating at both high and low pressures for versatile tank washer applications.
Smoother, long-lasting performance
The Alfa Laval Gamajet tank cleaning machine is a unique, grease-lubricated gear to ensure that potentially damaging particles are not trapped in the gear during CIP recirculation. This innovative design ensures a smoother performance and reduces wear and tear.
Energy-efficient design
A faster tank cleaning cycle with the GJ equipment 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.
A quality product
The Alfa Laval GJ equipment tank cleaning devices are part of our highly acclaimed Gamajet tank cleaning machine product range. Alfa Laval Gamajet technology combines pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets that are precision engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable and reliable 360-degree pattern using a rotary jet head.
Positive return on investment
The unique design reduces your cost to clean and environmental footprint by minimizing the amount of water, energy and cleaning agents required to clean tanks. Using high-impact jet cleaning with a tank washer instead of traditional ineffective static spray ball reduces waste and resource consumption.
Retrofit old spray ball
Due to the physical size of the Alfa Laval GJ rotary jet head, it is now possible to upgrade your cleaning device to a more efficient solution. The low profile Alfa Laval GJ tank washer fits though a 4” connection, making it possible to install the device into an existing tank top connection.
