Tankjet and Sprayball nozzle comparison

Make the switch from a spray ball to a tank cleaning nozzle for a more reliable and effective clean.


Spray balls and tank cleaning nozzles are two common methods used to clean tanks in the food and beverage manufacturing industries. Spray balls are stationary devices that rely on the force of the cleaning solution flowing through them to create a spray pattern. Tank cleaning nozzles are dynamic devices that use high velocity sprays to clean tanks, providing a more precise and efficient clean compared to spray balls.

Ensuring tanks, vats and vessels are hygienically clean between uses is a critical aspect of maintaining product quality and food safety standards. Proper cleaning and sanitation procedures help prevent contamination and bacterial growth, which can lead to spoilage and foodborne illness in consumers.

Spray balls and tank cleaning nozzles are two common methods used to clean tanks in the food and beverage manufacturing industries. Spray balls are stationary devices that rely on the force of the cleaning solution flowing through them to create a spray pattern. Tank cleaning nozzles are dynamic devices that use high velocity sprays to clean tanks, providing a more precise and efficient clean compared to spray balls. Tank cleaning nozzles have the ability to significantly reduce cleaning time as well as the amount of water and chemicals used, leading to improved efficiency and operational cost savings.

The video below shows a side-by-side comparison of a spray ball and our TankJet® 78M tank cleaning nozzle.
