Description
Welcome to the Alfa Laval GammaJet 8 Tank Cleaning Machine. This is the lightest , most powerful Large Tank Cleaning Machine that Alfa Laval Offers.
The Alfa Laval GJ8 provides the same flow as traditional larger tank Cleaners. However, it has a much shorter, lighter and narrower build to allow for much easier entry and maneuverability. It also offers unparalleled ease of handling vin a wide variety of tank cleaning applications.
Smaller in diameter than any other fluid driven unit with similar flow characteristics, the GJ8 does not require any power assists. The GJ8 fits thru small openings while maintaining the flow to required to clean larger vessels and its lightweight smaller size makes it easy to move and handle. The versatility of this machine when it comes to pressure and flow make it ideal for most large tank cleaning applications.

- Dynamic Seals: Rotary Shaft and housing seals are spring loaded double lipped and made of PTFE.They are reinforced for extra long wear and protection against leaking, abrasion and residue build up
- Nozzles: Standard Nozzle Sizes 1/4″, 9/32″,5/16″, 3/8″, 7/16″, 1/2″. Other sizes available upon request.
- Drive Mechanism: The wash fluid enters the GJ8 at the inlet collar where it encounters and spins turbine blades. The turbine blades are attached to the top of the input shaft , the bottom of this shaft is connected to the inside of a sealed planetary Gear Head which then turns the body in the horizontal planed the nozzles in the vertical plane.
- Planetary Gear Head: The sealed planetary gear head has an external casing made of steel surface anodized become stainless. This sealed gear head is located inside the gearbox which itself is sealed and thus does not require any lubricant. All internal parts are hardened sintered steel, the end caps and output shaft are stainless steel.
- Lubricant: A food grade lubricant is inside the sealed case so no customer supplied or user maintained lubricant is needed
