Tank-cleaning rotary spray ball for CIP tasks
A
BETE product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 2, 2009
Bete has added the Orbitor - a compact and versatile tank-cleaning rotary spray ball - to its range.
The Orbitor rotary spray ball combines high-performance cleaning efficiency with extended operating life and reduced life cycle costs.
The self-cleaning and media-lubricated Orbitor is ideally suited to cleaning-in-place applications (CIP) in the food, brewing, beverage, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The options available cover tank sizes from 8m up to 16m in radius, although the Orbitor can be used to clean larger tanks of up to 32m in diameter, or where the product is difficult to reach.
The Orbitor has an absolute minimum number of moving parts and can be completely stripped for maintenance in less than 15 minutes.
This eliminates the time-consuming maintenance overhauls associated with other types of spray balls and maximises operating life.
As a result of its self-cleaning, self-lubricating characteristics, the possibility of process contamination is eliminated, while its compact design enables fitting through small, restricted access flanges.
Depending on the intensity of the cleansing requirement it is available in two-, four- or eight-nozzle configuration and provides a choice of effective cleaning patterns, including 360deg and 180deg down-and-up wash patterns.
Standard connections means it can be easily retrofitted to existing systems and pipework.
The Orbitor is designed to operate with pressures between 3 and 12 bar and a maximum working temperature of 95C.
Typical applications include CIP duties for process vessels and storage silos in beverage industries, bright beer tanks, coppers and maltings in the brewing industry, milk storage, spray driers, process vessels and silos in food and dairy industries and cleaning coatings and paints from vessels and silos in the finishing, surface treatment industries.
