Slow Cleaners

Slow Rotating Cleaner Sanitor

The slow rotating cleaner Sanitor is ideally suited for applications where a compact, low flow and high sanitary unit is required. The unique design offers flexible operating parameters from 2 bar to 20 bar and with flow rates from 24 l/min. The omission of bearings greatly increases the unit life and prohibits any contamination issues associated with bearing degradation.

Advantages

  • Slow, constant rotation
  • Ball bearing free-increased service life
  • Large operating pressure range
  • Hydrodynamic bearing
  • FDA conform
  • Maintenance-free and durable
  • SIP through the nozzle possible
  • Preferred mounting position: vertical down
  • Available for tank safety system VARITOP®

Operation

Wash fluid is directed through the three slots on the rotating central barrel, producing three independent strong fan jets giving total coverage. Each fan jet targets a specific area of the vessel. Ideal for burst rinsing or prolonged washing with instant, strong impact performance. The Sanitor is available in 360° wash patterns.

Applications

Ideally suited to low flow, variable pressure applications where a slow constant rotation speed is required to give longer chemical dwell times for improved cleaning efficiency. The wide operating pressure band makes the units truly versatile across any industry sector. The units are suitable for cleaning small/medium size vessels and manufacturing equipment. Compact in design, effective in performance, they meet all the essential FDA requirements of hygiene and purity. This makes them highly suitable for the pharmaceutical, and biotech industries as well as food, beverage and other hygiene conscious industries.
