Product Overview

Portable High-Impact Tank Cleaning

The Alfa Laval GJ 9 uses pressure and flow to create high-impact cleaning jets that move through a repeatable indexed 360° pattern. This provides consistent interior coverage while reducing dependence on manual cleaning.

Its slim profile and lightweight design make it especially useful for IBCs, totes, portable tanks and other containers with restricted access openings.

High-Impact Cleaning

Rotary jets provide stronger mechanical cleaning action than fixed spray devices.

Built for IBC Access

The compact profile is designed to pass through common IBC access openings.

Efficient Cleaning

Designed to reduce water and cleaning-media use while maintaining strong cleaning performance.

Portable & Configurable

Multiple nozzle and connection options allow the GJ 9 to be matched to different systems and applications.

Choosing a Tank Cleaning Machine

When to Choose the GJ 9

The GJ 9 is a strong choice when you need high-impact indexed rotary jet cleaning in an IBC, tote or small-to-medium tank but still need a compact, portable machine that can fit through restricted access openings.

System matching matters. Tank dimensions, opening size, residue, available pressure and flow, nozzle selection, water temperature and desired cleaning time all influence the correct configuration.

IBCs & TotesA compact profile makes the GJ 9 well suited to common IBC and tote cleaning applications.
Small to Medium TanksCommonly applied to tanks approximately 4–20 ft. in diameter and up to approximately 20 ft. tall.
Difficult ResiduesHigh-impact indexed jets are suited to tougher residues where simple rinsing may not provide enough mechanical cleaning action.
Repeatable CleaningThe indexed 360° cleaning pattern provides consistent coverage for recurring tank-cleaning processes.
How It Works

Water Powers a Repeatable Indexed Cleaning Pattern

01 · SupplyA properly matched pressure and flow source supplies water to the GJ 9.
02 · DriveWater energy drives the internal turbine and gear train.
03 · IndexThe nozzle assembly moves through a controlled indexed rotary pattern.
04 · CleanHigh-impact jets provide repeatable 360° interior cleaning coverage.

System Matching

What Determines the Right GJ 9 Setup?

Nozzle Diameter

Nozzle size affects jet impact, throw length, total flow and required operating pressure.

Pressure & Flow

The pressure and flow source must be matched to the selected nozzle configuration and desired cleaning performance.

Tank Geometry

Tank diameter, height, access opening, internal obstructions and mounting position all influence machine selection.

Residue Type

Residue hardness, viscosity, temperature, chemistry and required cleanliness should be considered before selecting a setup.

Connection Type

Choose the inlet connection that best fits the cleaning system and installation.

Desired Cycle Time

Cleaning time depends on tank size, residue, pressure, flow, nozzle configuration, temperature and chemistry.
