Sanitary Stationary Tank-Washing Nozzles

Multiple Stream

Spray Angle

Certified by 3-A to meet sanitary design standards, these stationary nozzles have a 360° spray pattern to effectively rinse tanks and vessels in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical environments. Their one-piece design means there are no moving parts to maintain, making them good for clean-in-place (CIP) systems.

Made from 316L stainless steel, these nozzles will not corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. All are self-draining with polished surfaces and a pin connection, which means they have no threads, to reduce the risk of bacteria growth.

These nozzles can be installed in any position. Slip them over your supply tube and secure them in place with the pin. Your supply tube must have a through-hole that matches the pin diameter.

Sanitary Air Knives for Blowers

Dry and cool parts, wipe conveyor belts, control coating depth, and blow liquid, chips, and dust off of equipment in sanitary environments. Use these air knives with blowers and quick-clamp fittings to create a sheet of high-velocity air in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants. Made of 304 stainless steel, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. A highly polished surface with continuous weld seams keeps out water and other contaminants to prevent bacterial growth. Since they connect with quick-clamp fittings—also known as tri-clamp fittings—they’re easily disassembled for frequent cleaning. Blower-powered air knives produce air at a lower pressure than air knives that use compressed air. Control air pressure and volume by adjusting the depth of the airflow slot. These air knives have a through hole for mounting.
