Rotary spray heads
The Alfa Laval rotary spray head tank cleaning machine is a free-rotating spinner that uses low volumes of cleaning media at low pressure for effective cleaning. Rotating spray heads improve tank cleaning efficiency, using less water, less energy and less cleaning media than static spray balls. This reduces the total cost of ownership and speeds the cleaning process, enabling more production uptime.
Key benefits
- Better, more sustainable tank cleaning than static spray balls
- Safe, hygienic design eliminates the risk of contamination
- 40% faster cleaning times compared to static spray balls, which translates into more uptime
- 40% savings in water and cleaning media consumption compared to static spray balls
- More sustainable tank cleaning machine with higher cleaning efficiency and lower total cost of ownership compared to static spray balls
- Easy to retrofit into tanks using static spray balls without having to adapt supply pressures or flow rates
Let Alfa Laval rotary spray heads clean tanks more effectively than static spray balls. Designed according to the most stringent hygienic standards, these provide Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) for vessels used in hygienic processing lines across the dairy, food, beverage, home-personal care, and biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
Four versions are available to meet every tank size: micro, midget, magnum, and mega. To ensure complete tank coverage, all rotary spray heads are available in 360°, 270°, and 180° spray patterns and with various tank connections.
Options include horizontal installation, ATEX version, and high-purity and aseptic versions backed by Alfa Laval Q-doc documentation package for full traceability of all product-wetted contact parts.

How does a Rotary spray head work?
The flow of the cleaning media causes the head of the rotary spray head to spin. Fan-shaped jets lay out a swirling pattern of cleaning media throughout the tank, vessel or reactor. This generates the mechanical impact and cascading flow of cleaning media required to clean all internal surfaces and efficiently remove product residues from these surfaces.
Alfa Laval Sani Rotary Spray Heads
The Alfa Laval Sani is a rotary spray head tank cleaning machine for hygienic environments. The Alfa Laval Sani minimizes the consumption of water and cleaning media. Easy to customize to meet customer requirements, the Sani allows companies to spend less time cleaning and more time producing.
Benefits
- Exceptional cleanability, better end-product quality, greater overall output and reduced operating costs.
- 40% faster cleaning, meaning more time for production
- Saves up 40% of your cleaning cost
- Dynamic cleaning performance and 360° full wetting
- Easy to retrofit traditional spray balls to a more economical solution
The Alfa Laval SaniMicro is designed for the removal of residues from hygienic tanks across the dairy, brewery, distillery, beverage, food, personal care, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
How it works
Toftejorg rotary spray heads use the cleaning fluid itself to provide coverage and impact. The physical flow of the cleaning media causes the rotary spray head to rotate, with fan jets laying out a swirling pattern across the inner surface of the vessel.
These jets provide a combination of physical impact and a variable falling film of cleaning fluid that covers all the internal surfaces of the tank or reactor. The variable falling film has higher heat and mass transfer coefficients than the falling film produced by the static spray ball.
The spray head also cleans itself by directing the cleaning media through the rotating bearing track and onto the neck of the elongated head.
Rotary spray heads are a cost-effective alternative to traditional static spray balls because they use only small volumes of cleaning fluid at low pressure. These devices are suitable for virtually all kinds of industrial cleaning, including tanks, reactors, vessels and other containers.

Cost-effective cleaning
Toftejorg rotary spray heads provide high cleaning efficiency at significantly reduced cycle times to meet the tank-cleaning requirements of various process industries – from the pulp and paper and chemical processing industries to the bioethanol and starch industries. Toftejorg rotary spray heads also provide measurable savings by cutting energy, chemicals and water consumption for virtually any tank size and configuration.
To achieve the best cleaning results, Toftejorg rotary spray heads use an optimized spray pattern to ensure efficient distribution of rinse water to all inner tank surfaces. The high-impact dense spray pattern removes any residue after the production cycle more quickly and effectively than the much more expensive and time-consuming cleaning methods of soaking in chemicals or manual cleaning. Self-draining and self-cleaning, inside and out, all Toftejorg rotary spray head devices comply with Good Manufacturing Practice.
Performance reliability and long service life
Designed for minimal internal pressure loss, Toftejorg Rotary Spray Heads rotate at pressures of less than 0.1 bar; however, the recommended operating pressure is between 2 and 3 bar. For over half a century, rotary spray head technology has proven successful in providing reliable and repeatable cleaning performance and long service life.

Cost-effective cleaning
When higher cleaning efficiency than that offered by static spray balls is required, it is easy to upgrade to Toftejorg rotary spray head technology. Simply unclip the static spray ball and replace it with a new clip-on rotary spray head.
As the spray head rotates, its fans produce a variable falling film, which has higher heat and mass transfer coefficients than the falling film produced by the static spray ball. This enables the optimization of cleaning procedures and significant savings on water, chemicals and energy.
Efficient residue removal
To achieve the best cleaning results, Toftejorg rotary spray heads use a spray pattern to ensure the dynamic and effective distribution of rinse water to the inner tank surfaces. The impact from the rotating fans and improved mass and heat transfer provide efficient residue removal after production.
Self-draining and self-cleaning, inside and out, all Toftejorg rotary spray head devices comply with Good Manufacturing Practice.
An economic and environmentally correct choice
With perfectly flushed bearings and crevice-free design, Toftejorg rotary spray heads effectively clean tanks using less water, less energy and less cleaning agents than static spray balls. This not only helps reduce consumption of high-purity water and chemicals, but boosts your company’s environmental profile.
Performance reliability and long service life
Designed with minimal internal pressure loss, Toftejorg rotary spray heads rotate at pressures of less than 0.1 bar; however, the recommended operating pressure is between 2 and 3 bars. For over half a century, rotary spray head technology has proven successful in providing reliable and repeatable cleaning performance and a long service life.
Low maintenance, minimal downtime
Generally speaking, routine inspection is the only maintenance required for Toftejorg rotary spray head devices. These devices are so reliable that a single device in many cases can meet the requirements of a plant over its entire lifetime. No spare parts are likely to be needed for these devices.
High product integrity
To ensure product integrity, all Toftejorg rotary spray head devices are made of safe and non-reactive hygienic materials. All materials made of stainless steel are fully traceable in accordance EC No. 1935/2004. All non-metallic parts used comply with FDA requirements 21CFR § 174; non-metallic parts of rotary spray heads used for the Biopharm applications are certified in accordance with USP Class VI regulations. Upon request, 3.1 certificates can be supplied for those tank cleaning devices that meet the EN10204 standard. The Rotary jet head is also 3A certified.
Total peace of mind with complete documentation for validation
All equipment and components in the Alfa Laval BioPharm portfolio can be supplied with Alfa Laval Q-doc, a comprehensive documentation package that provides full transparency of sourcing, production and supply chains as well as full traceability of all changes in material, manufacturing procedures or spare parts. This smoothes process validation by providing factual support to substantiate GDP (Good Documentation Practice) for every aspect of BioPharm equipment supply and provides customers with high-quality Alfa Laval products backed by a no-risk guarantee.
The Q-doc package comprises equipment manuals, product/performance test, quality and manufacturing procedures, relevant material certificates, traceability documentation, and the necessary parts and service information. This attention to detail maximizes uptime and minimizes risk.
