Orbital Cleaners
Orbital Cleaner Tempest
The Tempest is a liquid driven Orbital Cleaner that can be used for mobile or stationary applications. The round jet nozzles rotate around two axes simultaneously and produce focused high impact jets generating a highly efficient 3D wash pattern. The constant, repeatable and verifiable action of the unit provides very powerful, stable jets with high dwell times, maximising chemical contact time and mechanical energy.
Advantages
- Hygienic and compact design
- Ball bearing free
- Self-cleaning
- FDA conform
- Economic flow rates
- Easy-to-maintain
- Reproducible cleaning by monitoring of rotation
Applications
The hygienic and compact design combined with the high power jets, makes it perfect for cleaning a variety of vessel sizes and equipment, also where hygiene is a priority. The unit can be used in the brewing, beverage, dairy, food, chemicals, coatings and transport industries -as permanently fixed or mobile installations.
