3.1 Description
The Alfa Laval GJ 18 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 7.0 inches (177.8 mm) in diameter. It is powered entirely by
the cleaning solution and it requires no electricity, compressed air, or lubricant for operation. The Alfa Laval GJ 18 is designed
for both portable and CIP (Clean-in-Place) applications. If the Alfa Laval GJ 18 is permanently mounted inside a tank, it is
strongly recommended to inspect the unit every few hundred hours of operation. (See chapter 6 Maintenance for more
information.)
Warning: In most conditions, the Alfa Laval GJ 18 should not be immersed while left in the tank. It is strongly
recommended that you have prior approval from Alfa Laval to ensure that immersion 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 18 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 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch (9.5 mm to 15.9 mm). The Alfa Laval GJ 18 wash cycle time can be
adjusted for special applications by changing the guide and/or nozzle size. Interchangeable stators and nozzle sizes are
available for either low or high pressures and/or flow rates. The guide performance capabilities of these options are detailed in
chapter 7 Technical Data.
