Retractors
Precise CIP Cleaning for Tanks with Mixers
Retractors enable efficient, safe, and hygienic CIP cleaning of tanks and pipelines with moving components such as agitators. In industries including food, beverage, dairy, chemical, and pharmaceuticals, they ensure reliable cleaning even in hard-to-reach areas affected by spray shadowing.
During production, the spray heads remain fully outside the product zone and are pneumatically extended only during the cleaning cycle. This guarantees high process safety, excellent hygienic performance, and significantly reduced cleaning time, water, and chemical consumption—making retractors an ideal solution for modern, sustainable CIP concepts.
