Cleaning the tricky part
GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 – Perfect Cleaning for Agitator Undersides
The Challenge: Cleaning in the Spray Shadow
In industries such as food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceuticals, thorough cleaning of all tank surfaces is essential to ensure product purity and safety. While general cleaners effectively cover most areas, the undersides of agitator blades often remain in the so-called spray shadow – a hard-to-reach zone.
Traditional methods, such as filling the tank with cleaning liquid up to the agitator height, are inefficient and rely heavily on increased heat or stronger chemicals. The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 has been specifically developed to address this challenge and provide an efficient, targeted solution.
Patented Technology for Maximum Efficiency
The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 is mounted flush with the tank wall, ensuring no components protrude into the agitator movement zone. Its specially designed, slightly recessed nozzle generates a solid full-cone spray jet that delivers maximum mechanical cleaning power. Pneumatically controlled, the spray precisely targets agitator undersides, even in complex tank geometries.
Key Features
- Optimized Spray Jet: Solid full-cone spray jet for precise and powerful cleaning
- Compact Design: Flush-mounted spray head does not interfere with agitator movement
- Modular Design: Utilizes GEA VESTA®, D-tec®, VARIVENT®, and ECOVENT® technologies for simplified maintenance and spare parts management
- Automated Operation: Compatible with GEA T.VIS® valve controls for seamless integration with digital process controls
Sustainable Cleaning Technology
The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 is not only technologically advanced but also environmentally friendly. By leveraging mechanical cleaning forces, it reduces the need for chemicals and high temperatures, making it the ideal companion for existing cleaning systems and contributing to ecological and economic sustainability.
