Product Overview:
CYCO 36300 PTFE rotary tank washing nozzle is a self-rotating CIP cleaning nozzle designed for efficient cleaning of tanks, reactors, vessels, and chemical containers in corrosive environments.
Driven by the reaction force of the cleaning fluid, the spray head rotates automatically without external power, delivering reliable 180° to 360° spray coverage at relatively low pressure across tanks up to 7.6 m in diameter.
Manufactured from high-performance PTFE, the 36300 tank washing ball offers outstanding chemical resistance, long service life, and low maintenance, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, food processing, and industrial cleaning applications.

How It Works:
The 36300 PTFE tank washing ball operates using the reaction force generated by the cleaning liquid. As the cleaning fluid flows through the internal nozzles, the spray head begins to rotate automatically without requiring any external motor or power source.
The rotating solid spray jets create continuous impact and full internal coverage inside tanks and vessels, effectively removing residues, chemical deposits, and process contamination.
Compared with traditional static spray balls, the rotary cleaning action improves cleaning efficiency while reducing water and chemical consumption.

FAQs
Q1. What are the advantages of PTFE over stainless steel?
PTFE offers superior corrosion resistance, excellent chemical compatibility, and non-stick performance, making it ideal for aggressive chemical cleaning applications.
Q2. What is the difference between the 5 spraying angle configurations (A–E)?
The 36300 is available in five hole configurations to match different tank geometries and cleaning requirements:
– Type A (180° Up, 6 holes): cleans the upper half of the tank
– Type B (180° Down, 6 holes): cleans the lower half of the tank
– Type C (270° Up, 7 holes): covers upper three-quarters, including dome and sidewalls
– Type D (270° Down, 7 holes): covers lower three-quarters, ideal for sediment-prone bases
– Type E (360°, 8 holes): full omnidirectional coverage, recommended for most CIP applications
If you are unsure which configuration suits your tank, contact our technical team with your tank dimensions and inlet position.
Q3. Can the spray angle be changed after installation?
The spray angle is determined by the nozzle hole configuration selected at the time of order. To change the spray angle, the nozzle body must be replaced. The swivel design of the 36300 allows tool-free nozzle removal, making this a straightforward field replacement.
