Spray balls and rotor nozzles - efficient cleaning for industrial processes
Does your production rely on tank cleaning that really makes a difference? Our spray balls and rotor nozzles are designed to ensure effective cleaning of your tanks. These tools are essential in the process industry where even the smallest residue can lead to contamination.
What are spray balls and rotor nozzles?
These cleaning components are designed to make tank cleaning both efficient and simple. Made from AISI 316 stainless steel, they resist corrosion even in particularly challenging environments.
The components are ideal for food and pharmaceutical facilities where hygiene is paramount. With spray balls and rotor nozzles, cleaning becomes faster and easier, even in complex structures. It's time to say goodbye to laborious work and hello to a smarter solution that revolutionizes the cleaning process!
The fixed spray ball
The spray ball is a great choice for smaller cleaning tasks where there’s limited water pressure and flow. The spray ball is ideal for cleaning smaller tanks where there’s little need for mechanical force. It operates at constant pressure that sprays water in multiple directions through small openings. It’s simple to install and maintain as it has no moving parts. This reduces the need for regular maintenance and repair, ensuring you a cost-effective solution.
The spray ball's ability to deliver uniform cleaning makes it a popular solution for many manufacturing companies requiring frequent cleaning of smaller containers. However, we don’t recommend it for cleaning tanks with sticky media such as honey.
The rotating rotor nozzle
The rotor nozzle is a smart solution that consists of a fixed and a rotating part with slots that take cleaning to a whole new level. It rotates using the pressure and volume of water supplied. The faster it rotates, the more power it can generate.
The mechanical power of the rotor nozzle makes it ideal for demanding cleaning tasks of larger tanks. It can be adapted to different pressure levels and temperatures up to 90°C, making it extremely versatile and therefore suitable for many types of cleaning applications.
We sell rotor nozzles for cleaning tanks with a diameter of up to 5 meters. We supply them in different sizes and dimensions and customize them as needed.
How to choose the right solution: What do you need to consider?
When faced with the choice between a spray ball and a rotor nozzle, there are several factors to consider. First of all, you need to think about the height and diameter of the tanks to be cleaned. Make sure you choose a nozzle that is able to cover the desired area, both in terms of water and power.
Also consider what media needs to be removed from the tanks. For sticky or tough materials, a rotor nozzle will be more thorough as it generates the necessary force for removal. Conversely, the spray ball is more appropriate for lighter tasks. Think about the pressure you have available and contact our experts for a solution adapted to your processing plant.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose AISI 316 stainless steel for cleaning components?
Stainless steel AISI 316 is a material that offers a long service life even under extremely demanding cleaning conditions. It’s ideal for industrial environments where hygiene is paramount - such as food and pharmaceutical processing plants.
What is the main advantage of a spray ball with no moving parts?
The main advantage of the no-moving-parts spray ball is its low maintenance. The absence of complicated mechanical components reduces the risk of wear and tear and repairs, resulting in an economical and reliable solution for cleaning smaller containers.
Is the spray ball suitable for dry cleaning sticky materials?
The spray ball is not ideal for sticky materials. The rotor nozzle is, because it delivers a more powerful jet for better cleaning.
