Rotating Cleaners

Slow Rotating Cleaner Turbo SSB

The Turbo SSB is the new generation of rotating and mobile jet cleaners with the slotted spray ball format where the ball bearings are removed, and the rotation speed is slowed down. This ensures a consistent cleaning result due to increased dwell time of the fan jets cleaning the tank wall. The innovative bearing concept comes with an increased service life.

Advantages

  • Slow, Constant Rotation
  • Ball Bearing Free- Increased Service Life
  • High Efficiency Fan Jets
  • FDA conform
  • Available for tank safety system VARITOP®
  • Economic Flow Rates (SSB 40,75)
  • SIP through the nozzle possible (SSB 125)
  • Preferred mounting position:
    vertical down (SSB 40, 125)

Operation

Wash fluid is directed through the slots on the rotating ball, producing independent strong fan jets giving total coverage. Each fan jet targets a specific area of the vessel. Ideal for burst rinsing or prolonged washing with instant, strong impact performance.

Applications

Ideally suited to low flow, low pressure applications where a slow constant rotation speed is required to give longer chemical dwell times for improved cleaning efficiency. The tried and tested design makes the units truly versatile across any industry sector. The units are suitable for cleaning small/medium size vessels and manufacturing equipment. Compact in design, effective in performance, they meet all hygienic design requirements, which makes them highly suitable for the pharmaceutical, and biotech industries as well as food, beverage and other hygiene conscious industries.
