SR42 360° 3D Rotary Spray Ball | High-Pressure Tank Cleaning

SR42 360° Rotary 3D Spray Ball | High-Pressure Tank Cleaning Nozzle

Product Overview:

CYCO SR42 3D spray ball is an advanced, self-rotating 3D spray ball engineered for comprehensive and efficient cleaning of small to medium-sized tanks, reactors, IBC totes, and closed containers.

Driven solely by water pressure, this innovative nozzle eliminates the need for external power sources, offering significant operational savings and simplified integration.

Its unique planetary gear transmission system ensures a compact design, robust load capacity, and an expanded water flow area, delivering unparalleled cleaning performance.

How It Works:

SR42 rotary spray ball is driven by the flow of cleaning fluid. Incoming cleaning fluid strikes the internal impeller, spinning the planetary gear reduction mechanism into action.

This gear system simultaneously drives two axes of rotation, orbital (horizontal sweep) and axial (vertical tilt), along a fixed, pre-set trajectory.

Sweep the entire tank surface in a precise 360° trajectory. Each cleaning cycle ensures repeated coverage, delivering consistent and thorough cleaning results.

Key Features:

SR42 3D rotary spray ball is entirely self-rotating, powered by water pressure alone. This eliminates the need for costly external energy sources like air or electricity, simplifying installation and reducing energy consumption.

A unique planetary gear system provides a compact yet powerful drive, ensuring high load capacity and a larger effective water flow area. This translates to consistent, reliable performance and extended product lifespan.

Advanced dynamic seals at all leak points significantly reduce fluid loss, leading to substantial savings in cleaning solution. This design also enhances the water impact force, ensuring a more thorough clean.

Engineered with streamlined nozzles, SR42 3D spray nozzle generates turbulent, linear jets. This focused spray delivers concentrated, high-impact water streams over long distances, effectively dislodging stubborn residues and ensuring comprehensive coverage.

The impeller-driven mechanism ensures a predetermined trajectory, achieving both orbital and rotational motion for complete 360° all-around cleaning without any blind spots. This guarantees every surface within the tank is thoroughly cleaned.

Performance Curve:

SR42 Performance Curve

The graph shows flow rate (L/min) vs. working pressure (bar) for the 4×φ1.2 mm nozzle configuration. As pressure increases from 30 to 250 bar, flow rate scales from approximately 25 to 58 L/min, giving you predictable, controllable cleaning intensity.

For most bottle and small-tank applications, the 80–150 bar / 30–45 L/min operating window delivers the optimal balance of cleaning impact and water efficiency.

Quick Installation Guide:

Connect the G1/2″ female thread directly to your existing water supply line or CIP spray lance. No adapters required for standard installations.

Tighten using a 36mm open-end wrench on the 4-inch female thread at the bottle/can connector. Do not over-torque.

Tension adjustment: Two M8 machine screws are provided for fine-tuning connecting rod tension. Adjust before final installation.

Filter maintenance: The built-in water inlet filter prevents clogging. Inspect and clean regularly, especially in hard-water environments.

Disassembly: Always remove the indicated port cap first before disassembling the nozzle body.

⚠️ Ensure the minimum opening diameter of Ø135 mm is available before installation.
