Product catalog summary
Introduction
IKEUCHI provides automated tank cleaning solutions using a variety of spray nozzles designed to optimize time and cost efficiency across multiple industries. Their expertise includes creating cleaning plans that comply with CIP and HACCP standards.
Basic Information
Tank cleaning nozzles are categorized by spray patterns: solid stream for tough dirt and flat spray for easier dirt. The spray's reach is crucial for effective cleaning. Nozzles are also classified by rotation type: 3D, 2D, and fixed, each offering different cleaning capabilities.
Clog Prevention and Installation
To prevent clogging, it is important to flush the pipe system and use strainers. Nozzles are typically installed downward, but some series allow for different orientations.
Nozzle Series Overview
  • SR Series: Low-speed rotation for wide area cleaning.
  • ES Series: Metal, self-cleaning, easy maintenance.
  • ES/ESV-PTFE Series: Chemical resistant.
  • RJ Series: Powerful 3D rotational cleaning.
  • JA Series: Includes 3D and 2D rotational cleaning options.
  • SWB Series: Shower ball design.
  • RJ2-PON Series: Pressure-open nozzle.
Nozzle Selection Guide
This guide assists in selecting the appropriate nozzle based on application, tank size, operating pressure, and type of dirt. Considerations include maintenance needs, water savings, and temperature resistance.
Case Studies
  • Medical Devices: Automated cleaning improved hygiene and reduced manual labor.
  • Food and Brewing Industry: Automated residue draining significantly reduced cleaning time.
  • Paper and Pulp Industry: Automation halved cleaning time and allowed simultaneous cleaning of multiple tanks.

Ordering Information
Products are ordered using a specific coding system that includes pipe connection size, spray capacity code, connection type, and material. Example: 1/8F ES 01 N S316L (360).
Diagrams and Charts
The document includes flow-rate diagrams and charts to assist in selecting the appropriate nozzle based on pressure and spray capacity requirements.
RJ3-MD Series Overview
The RJ3-MD series is designed for powerful cleaning using either air or electric motors. The air motor (RJ3-AMD) operates for 7.4–3.7 minutes, while the electric motor (RJ3-EMD) operates for 6.2 minutes at 50 Hz and 5.2 minutes at 60 Hz. The maximum operating temperature is 80°C (176°F), and the spray reach distance is approximately 1.5–2.5 meters. The product does not have an ON/OFF switch; operation is controlled by the supply of compressed air or electricity.
Flow-rate and Nozzle Specifications
The flow-rate diagrams and charts provide detailed information on spray capacity and pressure for different nozzle configurations. The RJ3-AMD/EMD models are available with 2, 3, or 6 nozzles, each with varying orifice diameters and spray capacities depending on the pressure applied.
JA3 Series - Jet Attacker
The JA3 series offers powerful 3D rotational cleaning with solid stream jets, suitable for cleaning tanks and containers. It operates without external power, driven by the cleaning liquid flow. The JA3-2L series is for low-pressure use (0.3–1.2 MPa), while the JA3-2S/4S series is for medium-pressure use (1.0–3.0 MPa). The series features easy installation and is effective for removing tough dirt.
JA3-D180 Series
This series provides 3D rotational cleaning with a 180° downward spray, ideal for open-topped tanks. It operates at pressures of 1.0–3.0 MPa and offers models with two or four nozzles. The spray capacity ranges from 12 to 70 L/min, and the maximum temperature is 60°C (140°F).
JA2 Series - Jet Attacker
The JA2 series offers 2D rotational cleaning with solid stream sprays, suitable for conveyor belts and tanks. It operates at pressures of 0.3–2.0 MPa, with spray capacities ranging from 14 to 253 L/min. The series is available with two or four nozzles and offers customizable arm lengths.
Ordering Information
To order, refer to the specific coding system provided for each series. Options include motor type, total length, number of nozzles, and optional features like buffing.

Clog Prevention (Strainer and Flushing the Piping) Clogging can cause malfunction and damage to the product. Be sure to flush the pipe system thoroughly before installing the nozzle to remove dust and debris. Regardless of the type of cleaning liquid, whether it is used once or can be reused multiple times, it should always run through a strainer to prevent the nozzle from clogging. Refer to the table on the right for details. Note: Depending on cleaning liquid type and quality, use a finer mesh strainer or install a filter cartridge to prevent deposits of foreign particles. Recommended mesh...
