OverviewThe HydroWhirl® Poseidon (HWP) is one of the only rotary tank cleaning nozzles made of 100% FDA‑compliant, corrosion‑resistant PTFE. The HWP nozzle is highly versatile, making it ideal for Clean‑In‑Place (CIP) applications in the food and beverage industry and for use in harsh chemical processing environments. Its slow‑spinning design delivers longer spray dwell times on target surfaces, resulting in greater cleaning impact.
Applications- Cleaning and washing tanks, IBC totes, and more
- Ideal for washing chemical processing tanks because of chemical‑resistant PTFE construction
Advantages- Slow‑spinning operation increases dwell time on target surface for increased impact and more effective cleaning over conventional rotating nozzles
- Cleans faster and uses less water at recommended pressures compared to static spray balls
- One of the only rotary tank cleaners on the market constructed of 100% chemical‑resistant, FDA‑compliant PTFE
Materials- Body: 100% PTFE (FDA‑compliant)
- Retaining clip: 316L stainless steel
Guideline for nozzle placement(H/3) Nozzle = 1/3 Overall Tank Height (H). Ideal nozzle placement is approximately one third the height from the top of the tank.
