Product Overview:
CYCO S360/Y360 series sanitary fixed spray ball is engineered for automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, dairy, brewing, and chemical industries.
Operating on a proven static design, no gears, no motors, no wear, the spray ball pressurizes cleaning liquid or steam through precisely arranged orifices across the entire 360° ball surface, delivering powerful, repeatable impingement cleaning on tank inner walls without opening the vessel.
With four standard connection options (Pin / Clamp / Internal Thread / Welded) and ball diameters from Ø20 mm to Ø90 mm, the S360/Y360 integrates directly into existing CIP pipelines with no system modification.
- For high flow

Performance Data:
Working Pressure vs. Flow Rate
This chart shows the relationship between inlet pressure (bar) and flow rate (L/min) for each S360/Y360 model. As system pressure increases from 2 to 5 bar, flow rate increases proportionally for all models.
Working Pressure vs. Cleaning Diameter
This chart shows how effective cleaning diameter (m) changes with operating pressure (bar) for each model. Cleaning diameter generally increases as pressure rises from 1 to 6 bar.
These charts assist in selecting the optimal spray ball model based on your specific operational parameters.
FAQs
Q1. What is the difference between S360 and Y360?
The S360 series uses pin connection (ASME BPE) and is available in a wider ball diameter range (Ø20–Ø90 mm). The Y360 series covers all four connection types: welded, internal thread, clamp, and pin. Both series deliver identical 360° spray coverage and are made from SS304/316L.
Q2. Which connection type should I choose?
Pin: standard ASME BPE, easy removal for maintenance.
Tri-Clamp (Quick-Install): fast tool-free assembly, best for frequent inspection. Internal
Thread: directly connects to NPT/BSP threaded pipelines.
Welded: permanent, leak-proof, fully flush joint for the most stringent hygienic requirements.
Q3. How do I select the correct model for my tank?
First, determine your tank’s internal diameter.
Then use the Cleaning Diameter column in the model table to find models whose cleaning range covers your tank size.
If between models, select the larger model. Use the Performance Charts to verify that your CIP system’s pressure and pump capacity match the model’s flow curve.
Q4. Can this spray ball handle steam (SIP) cleaning?
Yes. The S360/Y360 series is rated for operating temperatures up to 200°C, making it fully compatible with hot-water CIP and steam-in-place (SIP) sanitization cycles.
Q5. What is the weight of each model? Does weight affect installation?
Internal Thread models range from 0.118 kg (D38) to 0.281 kg (D76). For welded and pin-connection models, the weight varies by ball diameter. All models are lightweight enough for direct inline installation without additional support, even in top-entry configurations.
Q6. Can spray angles or hole patterns be customized?
Yes. Spray orifice angles and coverage zones can be engineered for non-standard tank geometries or targeted cleaning zones (e.g., avoiding agitators or thermowells).
