Storage Tanks, Reactors, Mixers and Spray Dryers including Ductwork and Vent Lines can all be
cleaned by use of one or multiple SSB Retractor units.

Warning:
The speed at which the Sprayball is deployed (extended to the open position) must
not exceed 0.5m/s. Ensure that the control air pressure is regulated to 4 bar max.
Options
The units are available in a range of operating strokes. As standard there are two sizes of SSB
Retractor—60mm and 120mm. However, both units can be adjusted during manufacture by increments
of 10mm. This allows the units to be fine tuned to accurately position the spray ball optimising the
effectiveness.
As standard the units are available with all machined components in 316L Stainless Steel and standard
seals in EPDM and Carbon filled PTFE. However, the units are available with wetted components in
Hastelloy C22 and seals manufactured from Perfluorolastomer should the environment require.
The spray balls are offered with standard spray patterns or can be target drilled to direct cleaning to
certain features such as access covers etc.
