This catalog from GEA Breconcherry, a part of GEA Mechanical Equipment, details the cleaning technology solutions offered by the company. It highlights the necessity of verifying product suitability for specific applications, as specifications may change without notice.
The catalog includes detailed product selection tables and technical specifications for various cleaning technologies, such as orbital and rotating cleaners, static cleaners, and retractors. Each product is tailored for specific applications and industries, including brewing, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
- Orbital Cleaners: Utilize two rotating axes for intensive cleaning with targeted jets, are compact, easy to maintain, and driven by the cleaning medium.
- Rotating Jet Cleaners: Known for powerful cleaning with minimal drive pressure, using fluid transmission and various spray patterns.
- Static Cleaners (Spray Balls): Designed for flush cleaning with high flow rates, cost-effective with no wearing parts.
- Retractors: Include In-Line Sprayer and MR1/MR2 models with extendable spray heads for targeted cleaning, especially useful in tanks with moving fixtures.
GEA Breconcherry's cleaning solutions are applicable in industries such as brewing, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, suitable for cleaning process vessels, storage tanks, silos, mixers, and more.
The catalog provides technical data on sealing materials, detailing their resistance to different chemicals and temperatures, and offers guidance on selecting appropriate sealing materials based on the medium conveyed.
GEA Breconcherry offers a range of accessories and engineering support, including digital tools and onsite cleaning tests, to ensure optimal performance and maintenance of their cleaning systems.
The document provides detailed specifications and operational guidelines for various GEA Breconcherry orbital and rotating cleaners, including models like Typhoon, Tempest, Tornado, TMC 45/85, Torrent, and Rotating Jet Cleaner Type 2E. These devices are designed for industrial cleaning applications, offering features such as self-cleaning, high spray dwell time, and compatibility with maintenance procedures.
- Typhoon: Recommended working pressure is 4-10 bar, with a cleaning diameter of up to 17 meters, operating at temperatures up to 95°C, made from stainless steel 316L, C-PTFE, or PTFE.
- Tempest: Similar to Typhoon, but with a larger cleaning diameter of 19 meters and a higher flow rate.
- Tornado: Offers a maximum cleaning diameter of 27 meters, suitable for high flow rates.
- Tornado 4: Features a cleaning diameter of 33 meters, designed for large, powerful jetting applications.
- TMC 45/85: These models offer variable volume flows and working pressures, with a maximum cleaning diameter of 12 meters for TMC 85.
- Torrent: Operates at lower pressures (1.5-3 bar) with a cleaning diameter of 11.6 meters.
- Rotating Jet Cleaner Type 2E: Designed for robust, low-maintenance operation with a maximum cleaning diameter of 10 meters.
- All models are designed for self-cleaning and high spray dwell time, ensuring efficient cleaning cycles.
- Materials used are primarily stainless steel and PTFE variants, ensuring durability and resistance to high temperatures.
- Preferred mounting positions are generally flexible, allowing for versatile installation options.
- Flow rates and cleaning diameters vary across models, with detailed charts provided for pressure versus flow rate and cleaning diameter.
- Cycle times are specified for different pressures, indicating the efficiency of each model under various operational conditions.
- Some models are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, enhancing their applicability in diverse industrial settings.
- Optional features include built-in sensors for monitoring and compatibility with tank safety systems.
The document outlines specifications for spray balls used in static cleaning systems. The recommended operating pressure at the inlet of the spray ball is between 1.0 to 2.5 bar g. The material used is primarily 316L stainless steel, with surface finishes varying from matt to electropolished, achieving an outside Ra of ≤ 0.5 µm.
Spray balls are designed for cleaning tanks with or without fixtures. The document provides detailed flow rates and spray angles for various types of spray balls, indicating their efficiency at different pressures. The flow rate can vary by 15-20% for electropolished spray balls compared to standard ones.
Threaded connections conform to DIN ISO 228-1, and pipe dimensions follow DIN 11850 series 2, DIN 11866 series B and C, and DIN EN ISO 1127 standards. The document also references ASME-BPE 2005 for external pipe dimensions.
For optimal performance, the document suggests specific operating pressures and provides a conversion formula for calculating other volume flow rates. It also highlights the importance of selecting appropriate seal materials and feedback systems for different applications.
The document includes tables detailing the flow rates, spray angles, and dimensions for various spray ball models. It also provides guidance on the installation and use of retractors and in-line sprayers, specifying the materials and configurations suitable for different cleaning scenarios.
Attention is drawn to the potential variance in flow rates for electropolished spray balls and the importance of adhering to recommended pressures for effective cleaning. The document also emphasizes the need for proper installation and maintenance to ensure process reliability.
