Rotating Cleaners
Free Rotating Cleaners Chemidisc & Turbodisc
The rotating spray cleaners Chemidisc and Turbodisc offer low cost and professional cleaning performance by instant uniform coverage of all internal surfaces. Therefore they are suitable for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries where FDA compliance, and heightened standards of hygiene and performance are necessary.
Advantages - Chemidisc
- Economic flow rates
- Ball bearing free-increased service life
- Maintenance free
- Hydrodynamic bearing
- FDA conform
- SIP through the nozzle possible
- Preferred mounting position: any
- Chemical resistant – ideal for corrosive environments
- Lightweight construction – safer in glass lined vessels
- Effective wash – due to high rotation speed
Operation - Chemidisc
Chemidisc has a unique ball bearing free design, meaning no shedding of metal bearing debris and no failure to rotate. Chemidisc has only one moving part, the rotating disc which rides friction free on a hydraulic bearing which instantly converts the wash fluid into a sphere of fast moving droplets, distributing the fluid in a complete and uniform manner. Total surface cover is achieved as fast moving, high power droplets simultaneously reach the entire surface of the tank, inlet pipe and overhead nozzles where contamination frequently occurs.Applications - Chemidisc
The Chemidisc range is available in a wide variety of sizes and is designed for use in harsh chemical environments, as a Hastelloy alternative and in glass lined vessels. These spray cleaners are constructed in carbon filled PTFE dissipate static electricity in potentially explosive atmospheres. Pure PTFE compliant Chemidiscs are used in many pharmaceutical and other applications where the cleaning solution is corrosive to stainless steel. PEEK is available for specialist applications. The Chemidisc cost effectiveness and reliability is specified by end users, OEMs and contract design companies.
