2.1 Description
The Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT is a fluid-driven (turbine-driven) 360° rotary nozzle machine designed for cleaning the interior
surfaces of a wide variety of process vessels with a minimum opening of 174.7mm (6.875 inches) in diameter for a pin drive
machine or 98.5mm (3.875 inches) for a clutch machine and the nozzles in the vertical position and 97.3mm (3.830 inches) for
the low profile machine regardless of nozzle position. It is powered entirely by the cleaning solution and it requires no
electricity, compressed air or lubricant for operation. The Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT is designed for both portable and CIP (Clean In
Place) applications. If the Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT is permanently mounted inside a tank, we strongly recommend inspecting the
unit every few hundred hours of operation.
Warning: In some conditions, the Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT may be allowed to be immersed while left in the tank. It is
strongly recommended that you have prior approval from Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment to ensure this will
not harm the machine in any way. Failure to comply with this restriction may void the warranty!!!
In order to handle the broadest possible range of applications, the stainless steel Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT is available with an
extensive selection of nozzle sizes, stators (non-rotating turbine), and O-ring materials. The nozzles are available in several
interchangeable sizes that range from 6.4mm to 9.5mm (
1/4” to 3/8”). The Alfa Laval GJ PF-FT wash cycle time can be
adjusted for special applications by changing the stator and/or nozzle size. Interchangeable stators and nozzle sizes are
available for either low or high pressures and/or flow rates. The performance capabilities of these options are detailed in
Section 7
