The Alfa Laval SaniMagnum SB Rotary Spray Head operates using high-impact rotational cleaning, ensuring a thorough and efficient tank cleaning process. Unlike static spray balls, which rely solely on liquid flow, the SaniMagnum SB actively rotates, covering the entire tank surface with precise, high-velocity jets.
Construction
The Alfa Laval SaniMagnum SB Rotary Spray Head is made of high-grade stainless steel, featuring:
- Rotary spray head for full tank coverage.
- One-clip locking system for quick access.
- Patented spray pattern technology ensuring efficient liquid impact.
Operating Principle
- Cleaning fluid enters the spray head, creating rotational movement.
- The head rotates, generating high-impact spray jets across the tank walls.
- Residues & contaminants are removed, ensuring hygienic cleaning with minimal liquid use.
Why Rotary Cleaning is More Effective?
- Even Distribution: Ensures liquid reaches all internal surfaces.
- Lower Water & Chemical Use: Optimized spray angles clean efficiently with less waste.
- Shorter Cleaning Cycles: Reduces CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) time, increasing production uptime.
Why is SaniMagnum SB Rotary Spray Heads – 3A better than static spray balls?
Unlike traditional spray balls that rely on low-impact gravity flow, the SaniMagnum SB actively rotates, covering 100% of the tank surface for faster, more effective cleaning.
