The units are also ideal for burst rinsing.Applications - Sanidisc
The Sanidisc is ideal for replacing fixed or rotating spray balls or other rotating units where a quick aggressive wash is required. The high energy, high impact droplets provide very effective impingement up to two and a half meters depending on the size of the unit chosen, which means that a single unit can clean vessels up to five meters in diameter. Simple in design, effective in performance, they meet all the essential FDA, USDA and 3A material and design requirements. This makes the units highly suitable for the pharmaceutical, biotech, food, beverage and other hygiene conscious industries.Downloads
