Operating Range:
Overall Dimensions:
Inlet Connection: | ¾ in. NPT-Female, ¾ in. BSP-Female |
Construction/Design: | Parts are machined from 316-L stainless steel investment castings or bar stock. |
Impeller & Final Shaft: | For increased wear resistance, the input shaft is plasma-sprayed with a Chromium Oxide coating on stainless steel. |
Shaft & Gearbox Bushings: | Turbine shaft thrust is absorbed by a Tungsten carbide bushing. Gear bushings are carbon filled polyphenylene sulfide. |
Static Seals: | O-Ring materials are selected for each application. Viton is standard, with Kalrez available. Other materials can be supplied on special order. |
Dynamic Seals and Bearings: | Rotary shaft and housing seals/bearings are made from carbon-filled-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide for extra long wear and protection against leakage, abrasion and deposit build-up. |
Nozzles: | Nozzle sizes from 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) to 0.2 in. (5 mm) |
Drive Mechanism: | The wash fluid enters the Alfa Laval Gj 9.2 at the inlet collar where it encounters and spins turbine blades. The turbine blades are attached to the top of the drive or rotor shaft. The bottom of this shaft is connected to the inside of a sealed, robust planetary gearhead which then turns the body in the horizontal plane and the nozzles in the vertical plane. |
Planetary Gearhead: | The sealed planetary gearhead has an external casing made of steel, surface-anodized to become stainless. This sealed gearhead is located inside the gearbox, which itself is sealed, and thus does not require any lubricant. All internal gearhead parts are hardened sintered steel. |
Lubricant: | Food-grade grease is inside the sealed gearhead casing. |

Self Cleaning and Draining
Ideal for Totes and IBCs
The Alfa Laval GJ 9.2 is part of the world-renowned Gj 9.2 range of high impact tank cleaning devices. The device offers compact cleaning for small tanks, totes, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) in both industrial and hygienic applications. With fewer parts and a highly durable design, the Alfa Laval GJ 9.2 provides superior performance and is the most versatile rotary jet head available. This device readily passes through three inch openings and can handle high pressures and temperatures, enabling quick and easy cleaning of small totes/IBCs, tanks, trash carts, and much more. Companies are able to clean in-house, saving a substantial amount of time, water, and money.
The Gj 9.2 range of high impact tank cleaning devices combine pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point at which the concentrated stream impacts the surface. This impact, and the tangential force that radiates from that point, blasts contaminants from the surface, scouring the tank interior. In conjunction with this impact, the device is engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable, and reliable 360° pattern. This full-coverage, global indexing pattern ensures the entire tank interior is cleaned, every time.
The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure. As standard documentation, the Alfa Laval GJ 9.2 can be supplied with a “Declaration of Conformity” for material specifications.

The Alfa Laval Gj 9.2 tank cleaning system combines pressure and flow to create powerful cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point when the focused stream strikes the surface. The collision and tangential force generated at that spot remove impurities from the surface, cleansing the tank interior. The device is designed to rotate in a precise, repeatable, and consistent 360° pattern. This comprehensive, global indexing pattern ensures that the tank interior is thoroughly cleaned on each visit.
