By reducing cleaning time, new rotary technology increases up-time for sanitary products.

Whether you are considering a new cleaning in place (CIP) project or need suggestions on how to improve an existing cleaning process, Toftejorg rotary tank cleaning machines can help.
The machines’ rotary spray heads clean tanks by spraying a fan of cleaning media against the vessel walls. Because rotary technology cleans vessels with such great impact and complete coverage, cleaning effectiveness increases dramatically compared to alternative cleaning methods.
This effectiveness allows users to reduce cleaning time. In batch processes, the time saved can be directly converted to increased production up-time. Rotary technology reduces cleaning media and chemical usage as well, leading to significant cost savings.
Meeting industry requirements
Decades of dedicated business focus have resulted in a range of sanitary products that accommodates the strictest regulatory requirements and guidelines.
Toftejorg rotary spray and jet heads are self-cleaning and self-draining. Some have an integrated self-cleaning down pipe (patent pending). Designed for permanent installation in the vessel, they come in a variety of FDA-compliant materials. Self-actuating, retractable systems also are available in cases where the internals (such as agitators or baffles) or the product produced prevent a permanent installation.
Bottom-line benefits of the rotary system include:
- More effective cleaning
- Reduced cleaning time
- Increased production up-time
- Lower costs through reduced consumption of water and chemicals
The system also offers:
- Possibility of verifying cleaning operation
- Continuous repeatable cleaning
- Both internal and external self-cleaning and self-draining cleaner head
- Self-cleaning down pipe
- High-impact cleaning
- Total internal surface coverage
