Cleaning ball

Introduction:

Cleaning balls (also known as cleaning nozzles or tank cleaners) are high-efficiency cleaning devices installed inside containers (such as storage tanks, reactors, and fermenters). They are primarily used for automated cleaning of the inner walls of containers and are widely used in industries with stringent hygiene requirements, such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and dairy products.

Core Functions and Advantages

• Achieve thorough cleaning of container interiors, removing residual media, dirt, and microorganisms to ensure product purity and production safety.

• Replace manual cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and avoiding the risk of human contact with corrosive or sterile media.

• Conserve cleaning water and cleaning agents, reducing wastewater discharge and meeting energy conservation and environmental protection requirements.

• Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature, or low-temperature operating conditions, and compatible with various cleaning media such as water, acid and alkali cleaning agents, and disinfectants.

Main types and characteristics

• Fixed cleaning balls: Simple in structure, achieving comprehensive cleaning through preset spray angles, suitable for small containers or regular inner walls, and relatively low in cost.

• Rotating cleaning balls: Driven by water pressure, they offer a wide spray range, strong impact, and uniform coverage, suitable for large storage tanks, reactors, and other complex containers, and are the mainstream type in industry.

• Universal cleaning balls: The spray direction can be adjusted manually or automatically, flexibly adapting to irregular containers or special cleaning needs, offering strong targeted application.

• Sterile cleaning balls: Made of 316L stainless steel, with an electrolytically polished inner surface and a hygienic sealed structure, supporting in-line sterilization (SIP), suitable for aseptic scenarios such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and dairy products.

Application scenarios

Pharmaceutical/Vaccine Industry: In-line cleaning (CIP) of aseptic mixing tanks, fermentation tanks, and pharmaceutical excipient storage tanks, conforming to GMP standards.

Food/Dairy Industry: Hygienic cleaning of beverage mixing tanks, yogurt fermentation tanks, and edible oil storage tanks to prevent cross-contamination.

Chemical Industry: Cleaning of reaction vessels and solvent storage tanks to remove corrosive media residues, protecting equipment and ensuring safe subsequent production.

Cosmetics Industry: Cleaning of emulsification tanks and raw material storage tanks to prevent microbial growth that could affect product quality.
