Anew tank washing nozzle
made from PTFE which
delivers a slow-moving, high
impact spray action against internal
surfaces of tanks and vessels for
effective removal of scum rings, or
tougher residues, has been introduced
by BETE. The HydroWhirl Poseidon
tank washing nozzle is suited to
cleaning and wash down applications
in food and beverage industries,
general processing, chemical and
pharmaceutical industries.

The nozzle benefits from a simple,
yet innovative head design, which
provides reliable flow-through of
water and cleaning solutions through
a rotating head at the tip of the
assembly. The combination of the
spray pattern and the impact with a
slow and nearly constant speed
rotation, is said to result in a targeted,
highly effective cleaning action which
quickly breaks up and washes away
contamination, even for stubborn
residues.

The nozzle is designed for 360°
omni-directional coverage and
requires lower pressures and, says the
company, therefore uses less water
than conventional static tank washers.

It is also designed for quick and easy
disassembly, inspection and
reassembly using basic hand tools, so
downtime is minimised.
