CIP Nozzle Design
CIP Nozzle Design
Overview
This section provides an overview of our automated tank cleaning systems, tank washers and tank wash nozzles. Youll find clean-in-place and portable solutions to help automate rinsing, sanitizing, disinfecting and sterilizing tanks up to 80 ft. (24.4 m) in diameter. Choose from a comprehensive selection of tank washers and nozzles in different sizes, materials, spray coverages, flow rates, pressures and connections. For total tank cleaning automation, our turnkey AutoJet Tank Cleaning System can be configured with any Spraying Systems Co. tank wash nozzle or tank washer. These systems include all the necessary pumps, motors, valves and washdown control panels to ensure optimal performance of the tank washer or tank wash nozzles and minimize the need for operator intervention. Motor-Driven Tank Washers: An external air, electric or explosion-proof electric motor drives the nozzle hub where two to four high-impact solid stream sprays rotate and clean large tanks up to 80' (24.4 m) in diameter. Fluid-Driven Tank Wash Nozzles: The liquid flow is all that is needed for rotation. Nozzles can either be free spinning or rotating at nearly constant speed and can clean tanks up to 25' (7.6 m) in diameter. Fixed Tank Wash Nozzles: Reliable nozzles that stay in position while spraying and can rinse tanks up to 22' (6.7 m) in diameter. AutoJet Tank Cleaning Systems: Turnkey system for total automation of tank washing. The system automatically monitors and controls all components to increase productivity, minimize operating costs and decrease downtime. For more detailed information including performance data, request Catalog 15, A Guide to Safe and Effective Tank Cleaning.

Address These Factors First to Identify the Best Tank Wash Solution for your Application Is the substance sticky or easily cleaned? Can it be dissolved by the cleaning liquid? What is the level of impact required to dissolve it and wash it away?
Level of Cleaning
Rinsing: Majority of residue is loosened and removed with water. Cleaning: Remaining residue is loosened and removed with water and cleaning agent. High impact cleaning: Utilizes the impact of the spray to break apart difficult and stubborn residues and wash them away. Sanitizing: Chemical agent is applied to all surfaces to kill microorganisms to an acceptable level. Disinfecting: Kills most bacteria with the exception of spores. Sterilizing: Eliminates all forms of life.
Chemical additives are typically used to remove contaminants, improve tank wettability and reduce droplet formation. Heat can improve the cleaning action of many water-based detergent chemicals.
Spray distance is usually measured in terms of the tank diameter, however, it is important to consider the tank length and height. For example, if a tank is 20 ft. (6 m) in diameter and 40 ft. (12 m) long, use two tank washers that specify 20 ft. (6 m) or a single tank washer that can clean up to 40 ft. (12 m).
Flow Rate
Use the lowest possible flow rate to achieve your cleaning objectives. The lower the flow, the less liquid required, less effluent for disposal and less energy consumed. A general guideline is to work with a minimum of 0.2 gal/min/ft2 (7 l/min/m2). A more moderate recommendation is 0.4 gal/min/ft2 (15 l/min/m2). This guideline generally applies to stationary nozzles where all the surfaces of the tank are sprayed at the same time. Nozzles that rotate usually contact part of the tank at one time, thus less flow rate is needed.
Spray Impact
Hard-to-clean residues require a higher level of impact than residues that are easily rinsed. It is difficult to determine the exact impact value of each tank wash nozzle. However, a general rule of thumb can help you increase the level of impact when determining the optimum cleaning requirements for your application. Increasing flow rate is more effective than increasing pressure. As the chart below shows, doubling the flow rate increases impact as much as 100%, while doubling pressure provides only 40% more impact.
Impact Determination
Flow Rate 13 gpm (50 l/min) 13 gpm (50 l/min) 26 gpm (100 l/min) Pressure 45 psi (3 bar) 90 psi (6 bar) 45 psi (3 bar) Relative Impact 1.0 1.4 2.0
Spray distance is usually measured in terms of tank diameter. However, you should also consider the tank length and height. You may need to use more than one tank washer to clean the entire tank thoroughly.
Impact values are based on theoretical total impact formula: Impact = .0526 x flow rate x =pressure
