Optimal Operation

The Optimal Presure Range for Operating the Twister is at 4 – 10 bar at the Cleaning Device.
With a Flowrate of 45 – 97 Liters/Minute a Cleaning Diameter of 8 – 16 Meters is achieved.

The Twister is a powerful target jet cleaner with orbital 360° spray pattern. An installation opening of only 100 mm is required to install a Twister. The Twister is driven by the cleaning medium at a pressure of 4 to 10 bar. Turbine-driven, radial and axial rotation of the nozzle head is generated. This produces aligned jets of liquid through four nozzles with a strong impact effect up to a diameter of 16 meters. By circulating jets of liquid, a completing spray pattern with full coverage is thus achieved within 2 to 3.5 minutes.

Thanks to optimum flow control, a smooth-running mechanism without ball bearings, and a hygienic sealing concept, the energy used on the unit develops into a powerful cleaning effect. The orbital cleaning behavior allows the best possible use of the cleaning liquid or chemical additives. For use in hygiene-sensitive areas, the unit keeps itself permanently clean with a self-cleaning nozzle and empties itself automatically after use in vertical operation.

The use of the device is always resource-saving and takes place with the least amount of wear and maintenance. The Twister meets the highest hygiene and safety standards and can be used in EX zones and FDA applications at the same time. During a long service life, this device will always prove to be a reliable partner for your cleaning tasks. Optionally, the cleaning process of a Twister can be permanently and non-invasively monitored by SMW 100 or Vericlean. The Twister is one of the latest and most effective developments on the market for cleaning technology.

Twister orbital cleaners are available in many connection options. The Twister is very compact and can be installed in any position in vessels or equipment using a 3/4″ threaded connection or a choice of cotter pin or clamp attachment. Use on a lance or hanging from a hose is also possible. Common applications for this product are tanks and vessels in brewing, beverage, dairy, food, pharmaceutical, chemical and transportation industries.
