What is the difference between fixed and rotating cleaning balls?

There are some significant differences in design and function between fixed and rotating cleaning balls:

Spray direction:

The spraying direction of a fixed cleaning ball is fixed and cannot be changed, while the spraying direction of a rotating cleaning ball will rotate and can cover a larger area.

Cleaning effect:

The fixed cleaning ball mainly relies on shear force, so it consumes a large amount of CIP liquid; Spray cleaning balls mainly rely on impact force, so the cleaning time is short and the effect is good.

Compared with fixed spray balls, rotating cleaning balls reduce water and cleaning agent consumption by 50%, can form larger droplets and uniform sprays, and have better cleaning effects.

working principle:

The working principle of a fixed spray ball is that a small amount of cleaning solution is continuously sprayed from each hole of the fixed cleaning ball towards a fixed point on the inner wall of the tank, thereby distributing the cleaning solution to the inner surface of the tank in a laminar flow manner.

The internal structure of a rotating spray ball is similar to the impeller of a water turbine. When a certain flow rate and pressure of liquid flows through it, the reaction force of the spray force is used to make it rotate, and through the gaps and nozzles on it, it is sprayed outwards from a certain angle with a greater impact force.

Application scenarios:

Fixed spray balls are generally used for storing materials with low viscosity and low temperature, such as raw milk storage tanks, and are also used for cleaning side mixing or smaller storage containers.

Rotating spray balls are generally used for storing materials with high viscosity, such as yogurt fermentation tanks and waiting tanks.

Cleaning pressure:

Generally, fixed spray balls and ordinary rotating spray balls require a cleaning pressure of 1.5-2 bar, while rotating spray cleaning balls require a cleaning pressure of 4 bar.

Structural features:

Rotating cleaning ball is a type of rotating nozzle that uses cleaning agents to thoroughly clean and spray storage tanks. Due to the low amount of detergent used under low pressure, this device is an effective alternative to traditional fixed spray balls. The rotating head adopts double ball bearings, which makes this type of cleaning ball series suitable for all sanitary and industrial cleaning applications.
