Alfa Laval TZ-89 Rotary Jet Head Tank Cleaning Machine
The Alfa Laval TZ-89 is a rotary jet head tank cleaning machine designed for sanitary conditions. It is built for cleaning containers with capacities ranging from 5 to 20 m³. The TZ-89 combines pressure and flow to create high-impact cleaning jets that provide a consistent 360-degree cleaning pattern.
The design conserves water and cleaning media while reducing cleaning time by up to 60 percent. It is easy to adapt to customer requirements, giving operators more uptime for production and less downtime for cleaning.
Applications of Alfa Laval TZ-89 Rotary Jet Head
The Alfa Laval TZ-89 is widely used for cleaning tanks across industries such as:
Dairy processing
Food production
Beverage and brewing
Personal care and cosmetics
It is particularly effective at removing sticky residues and tough deposits, ensuring hygienic tank cleaning where traditional spray devices may not be sufficient.
Benefits of Using the Alfa Laval TZ-89
Up to 60% faster cleaning cycles
Up to 70% water and cleaning media savings
Eliminates manual tank entry
Provides reliable 360-degree cleaning coverage
Can be validated with Alfa Laval Rotacheck system

Comparison of TZ-Series Rotary Jet Heads
TZ-67: Compact model for general-purpose tank cleaning in food and beverage applications
TZ-74: Medium-duty model with extended cleaning radius for breweries, chemical tanks and CIP systems
TZ-89: Heavy-duty model delivering maximum cleaning force and coverage for large tanks with tough residues
The Alfa Laval TZ-89 tank cleaning machine is designed to cover the inside of the tank in a denser pattern, achieving powerful mechanical impact with a low volume of water and cleaning media. The machine’s design allows for the choice of nozzle diameters to optimize jet impact length and flow rate at the desired pressure. Its slim design makes it ideal for retrofitting spray balls, reducing Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) costs and cleaning time. The Alfa Laval SaniJet 20 is an alternative that offers similar performance to the TZ-89.
The high-impact jet stream from the rotary jet head performs geared rotation around the vertical and horizontal axes, with the first cycle laying out a course pattern on the tank surface. The machine then starts over again and continues performing the next full cleaning pattern.
FAQ about Alfa Laval TZ-89 Rotary Jet Head
Q1: What is the Alfa Laval TZ 89 Rotary Jet Head used for?
A: The TZ-89 is designed for Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) of sanitary tanks in food, dairy, beverage, brewing and personal care industries.
Q2: How much water and time can the TZ 89 save?
A: It reduces cleaning time by up to 60% and cuts water and cleaning media use by as much as 70% compared to manual or static cleaning methods.
Q3: What is the cleaning radius of the TZ 89?
A: The maximum throw length is 4 to 7 meters, with an impact cleaning radius of 2.5 to 4 meters depending on pressure and nozzle size.
Q4: Can the TZ 89 replace spray balls in existing tanks?
A: Yes, the slim design makes it ideal for retrofitting static spray balls, lowering CIP costs while improving cleaning performance.
Q5: What industries benefit most from the TZ 89?
A: Industries that handle sticky or viscous products, such as food processing, dairies, breweries and cosmetics, benefit most from the TZ 89’s high-impact 360-degree cleaning.
