Tank cleaning balls allow for manual entry into the tank, providing highly efficient, full-coverage, rotating cleaning without blind spots. They are highly effective tools for cleaning various containers such as tanks, storage tanks, fermentation tanks, mixing tanks, reactors, and IBCs. There are generally two types: fixed cleaning balls and rotary cleaning balls, with the following differences:
First,
fixed cleaning balls are frequently used for cleaning tanks and reactors with simple structures. Because their spray range is fixed, the cleaning pressure is generally not too high, resulting in a long lifespan, making them suitable for small reactors requiring frequent cleaning.
Next,
rotary cleaning balls are frequently used for cleaning tanks and reactors with complex structures. They provide 360-degree rotation, full-coverage cleaning without blind spots, ensuring all areas are cleaned, thus providing wider spray coverage. Suitable for the efficient cleaning of medium and large-sized reactors.
Finally,
three-dimensional high-pressure cleaning balls are frequently used in applications requiring high-pressure cleaning. The high impact force can remove stubborn dirt, making them suitable for cleaning reactors and tanks handling high-viscosity materials.
These cleaning balls are commonly made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, making them suitable for most cleaning applications. The second type is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): it has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for acidic and alkaline environments, but its wear resistance is relatively poor, making it suitable for reactors handling low-viscosity materials. Other materials are also available, such as titanium alloys and ceramics, suitable for special environments and demanding cleaning applications. These materials require customization and are not widely used.
