CIP Spray Balls

What's the Difference?

Static Spray Balls:
Static spray balls are the simplest type of tank-cleaning device. They do not rotate and rely on fixed holes drilled into the spray ball to distribute cleaning fluid in a predefined cleaning pattern. The cleaning process involves the fluid forming a free-falling film to clean the tank walls. While static spray balls are reliable and inexpensive, their efficiency is lower compared to dynamic options, as they often consume more water and chemicals and take longer to achieve a thorough clean.

Rotating Spray Balls:
Rotating spray balls (aka rotary spray balls) introduce mechanical motion powered by the flow of the cleaning fluid itself. These devices spin and direct jets of liquid to all interior surfaces of the tank. Rotating spray balls apply mechanical energy to enhance cleaning efficiency, making them suitable for applications where more thorough or quicker cleaning is needed. Their design allows for better coverage and reduced water and chemical usage compared to static spray balls.

Spinner Spray Balls:
Spinner spray balls are a subset of rotating spray balls, designed to spin at higher velocities. They offer more aggressive mechanical cleaning due to the increased rotation speed, making them ideal for tanks with more stubborn or challenging residues. While spinner spray balls operate similarly to standard rotating spray balls, their higher velocity focuses on maximizing the mechanical action during cleaning.
