1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The Gamajet V is a fluid-driven (turbine-driven) 360° or 180°
Directional rotary nozzle
machine designed for cleaning the interior surfaces of a wide variety of small process,
transport and storage tanks or tanks with a minimum opening of 3 inches (76.2 mm) in
diameter.
It is powered entirely by the cleaning solution;
it requires no electricity or
compressed air or lubricant for operation. The Gamajet V is designed primarily for
portable service; the unit may also be permanently installed in a vessel. If the Gamajet V
is permanently mounted inside a tank, we strongly recommend that you inspect the unit
every few hundred hours of operation (see section 3 for details about Preventative
Maintenance).
WARNING:
Under no conditions whatsoever should the Gamajet V ever be
immersed in anything. Failure to comply with this restriction will void the
warranty!!
To handle the broadest possible range of applications, the Gamajet V is available in
stainless steel construction with dual and triple nozzles, and an extensive selection of
nozzle sizes, stators, O-ring material and gear ratios. Gamajet nozzles are available in
seven interchangeable sizes - 0.110", 0.125", 0.135", 0.150", 0.165", 0.187", and 0.200".
Longer nozzles are available for tougher deposits but require a 3-1/2" opening; optional
smaller and larger orifice diameters are also available. The standard 0.187" nozzle is
recommended for normal use in tank cleaning. The Gamajet wash cycle time can be
adjusted for special applications by changing the stators, nozzle sizes, and gears.
Interchangeable stators (non-rotating turbine), nozzle sizes, and gears are available for
either low or high pressures and/or flow rates. The performance capabilities of these
options are detailed in Appendix C. A complete description of the technical
specifications and materials of construction of the Gamajet V is contained in Appendix
A.
