The Alfa Laval GJ product line offers a wide range of tank cleaning machines for industrial applications, such as paint, steel, pulp & paper, chemicals, and oil & gas. The range spans from being able to clean small storage/process tanks to the big industrial fermenters and storage tanks of sizes more than 5678 m³ (1.5 million gallons). The line also includes a special unit to clean underground storage tanks through one way opening.
Alfa Laval GJ18
The Alfa Laval GJ18 is rotary jet head tank cleaning machine for industrial environments. Designed to clean tanks with capacities from 39625.5 – 594382.5 US gallons, it combines pressure and flow to create high-impact cleaning jets that rotate in a repeatable and reliable 360-degree cleaning pattern. The Alfa Laval GJ18 minimizes the consumption of water and cleaning media. Easy to customize to meet customer requirements, it enables companies to spend less time cleaning and more time producing.
The new patented gear design will last several times longer than other large industrial tank cleaning machines.

Application
The Alfa Laval GJ 18 is designed for the removal of the toughest residues from industrial tanks across a broad range of industries, such as the chemical, pulp and paper, steel, starch, and tank truck wash industries.
Working Principle
The high-impact jet stream from the Alfa Laval GJ18 rotary jet head covers the entire surface of the tank interior in a successively denser pattern. This achieves a powerful mechanical impact with a low volume of water and cleaning media. The flow of the cleaning fluid makes the nozzles perform a geared rotation around the vertical and horizontal axes. In the first cycle, the nozzles lay out a course pattern on the tank surface. The subsequent cycles gradually make the pattern denser until at full cleaning pattern is reached. Once the full pattern is reached, the machine will start over again and continue to perform the next full cleaning pattern.
Standard Design
The choice of nozzle diameters can optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pleasures. Alfa Laval offers a wide range of tank cleaning machines suitable for different duties and industries.
