Spray balls are used in the beverage industry to simplify the interior cleaning of tanks and piping. A fermentation or brite tank can be showered with high-velocity water and/or chemicals on the interior, causing a sheeting action down the vessel walls removing residues and sanitizing the tank. CIP spray balls are not only faster, but significantly safer for workers by removing the need for hand scrubbing and exposure to cleaning agents.
Rotating vs. Fixed / Pin-StyleMuch like the rotating arm of a dish washer, a rotating spray ball offers cleaning advantages over a fixed or pin-style CIP system. A rotating spray ball can create a scrubbing like effect and offer better coverage. Stationary spray balls may not provide sufficient impact (pressure applied to the cleaning surface), or if any of the pores happen to clog, particularly in a mash tun or brew kettle, often create a 'dead spot' where manual cleaning is necessary.
Available in both rotating or fixed styles, our spray balls operate between 30-50 PSI with a flow rate up to 50 GPM. Each spray ball is made from stainless steel SS304, meeting today's sanitary standards. Our most popular spray ball is the Tri Clamp 1.5 inch x 2.5 inch x 7 inch with 360 degree rotating head, while our mini balls are ideal for smaller ferrule openings.
