How does the Free Rotating Retractor UltraPure retractable CIP nozzle work
The Alfa Laval Free Rotating Retractor UltraPure functions as a pneumatically opened and spring-closed seat valve to clean the interior surfaces of tanks and ducts used in hygienic processes. In the closed position, the installation forms a flush design with the vessel wall, while the spray head is not exposed to the product zone. The spray head rotates between the two hydro bearings due to the reaction forces of the cleaning media expelled from the orifices. The spray head expels cleaning media in a swirling 310°-up spray pattern throughout the compartment, generating complete coverage through a vibrating impact and cascading flow.
The actuator can remain extended during a draining or purging phase. The device is completely self-cleaning except for the product-facing part of the plug. This surface is normally cleaned by pairing it with another tank cleaning device. When properly installed the device is self-draining.
