Clog Resistant Tank Cleaning Means Less Down Time

Traditional cleaning heads typically have multiple small orifices which form a 360º cleaning pattern. However, the new Hydroclaw impacts a jet of water on a claw like plate which shatters the fluid into a 360° pattern, effectively covering the whole tank. As there is only a single orifice for the cleaning fluid to pass through, the company says the overall free passage is increased (3 to 5 times higher) allowing for high particle content liquid (for particles over 7.6mm in diameter) to be used as cleaning media.

The ‘claw’ was initially developed for wine producers, but is suitable for the wider brewing and distilling industry as well as for non-food tank cleaning systems where clogging is a problem. Made from FDA compliant 316L stainless steel, it is also suitable for food grade and aseptic clean-in-place (CIP) applications. It has no moving parts, is self-draining, self-flushing and laser welded for durability. 

It provides with low pressure / high flow to enable quick cleaning of tank walls and helps to reduce water consumption compared to a static spray ball. The HydroClaw is designed to fit through a 76mm opening and is available with a variety of connection types such as 1in female NPT or G threads, 1½in or DN40 tube clip-on.
