Alfa Laval GJ 8 Rotary Jet Head

The GJ 8 operates using fluid pressure to drive a set of nozzles that rotate around horizontal and vertical axes. This rotation produces powerful jets that create a progressively denser cleaning pattern with each cycle. The result is consistent 360-degree coverage of the tank interior, delivering effective mechanical cleaning using less water, cleaning agents and energy.

Cleaning Pattern Comparison

The GJ 8 delivers an initial coverage pattern on the first cycle, followed by increasingly dense patterns until a full 360-degree cleaning is completed. This makes it ideal for large cylindrical or horizontal tanks.

Directional Options and Add-ons

• Sidewinder Horizontal Cleaner available for directional cleaning

• Electronic sensor available to verify full 3D coverage

Caution

Do not use the GJ 8 for gas evacuation or air dispersion. Ensure the cleaning fluid is free of abrasive particles to avoid damaging internal components. A filter on the supply line is recommended.
