Application
The Alfa Laval SaniMidget SB/3-A Rotary Spray Head is uniquely designed with respect to self-cleaning, self-draining and inspectability. Its novel patent pending one-clip assembly offers easy installation, disassembly and inspection without compromising cleanability or drainability. The SaniMidget SB/3-A is an efficient replacement for the traditional Static Spray Ball as it offers liquid impact on the entire tank wall that lies within the 270° upward pattern; this at a lower flow rate at equally low pressure.
Working principle
The flow of cleaning media causes the head of the SaniMidget SB/3-A to rotate, with fans of water laid out in a swirling pattern on the entire perimeter exposed to the spray pattern. This generates a vibrating impact in the 270° upward pattern and a dynamic cascading flow that covers all internal surfaces of the tank, vessel or reactor. The SaniMidget SB/3-A is designed according to EHEDG and GMP guidelines and meets the requirements of 3-A standards.
Different spray patterns can be chosen to make the head suitable for various applications and tank designs, ranging from simple tanks to more complex vessels with structures such as agitators and baffles.

Rotary Spray Heads like the SaniMidget SB effectively clean tanks using less water, less energy and less cleaning agents than Static Spray Balls. This helps reduce consumption of high-purity water and chemicals.
As the SaniMidget SB Spray Head rotates, its fan-shaped jets produce a swirling pattern throughout the vessel. This generates the wetting/impact needed for the efficient removal of the residual product.
Designed with minimal internal pressure loss, Alfa Laval Rotary Spray Heads rotate at pressures of less than 0.1 bar; however, the recommended operating pressure for the SaniMidget SB is 2 bar.
Generally speaking, routine inspection is the only maintenance required for Alfa Laval Rotary Spray Head devices. These devices are so reliable that a single device in many cases can meet the requirements of a plant over its entire lifetime. The SaniMidget SB is lubricated by the cleaning media it dispenses.
Lubricant: Self-lubricates with cleaning fluid
Wetting radius: Max. 3m
Impact cleaning radius: Max. effective 1.4 m
Working pressure: 1 – 3 bar
Recommended pressure: 2 bar
The flow of cleaning media and water causes the SaniMidget SB head to rotate, with the fan-shaped jets laying out a swirling pattern throughout the tank or reactor. The wetting/impact generated efficiently removes residual product, and the cascading flow ensures all of the vessel’s internal surfaces are covered.
