A customized solution tailored to specific needs: a two-dimensional rotating nozzle with a stainless steel shaft and a resin rotating body.
Addressed customer concerns by providing spray demonstration videos and lending the nozzles for testing.
Achieved the target price proposed by the customer, ensuring cost-effectiveness.

Clean-In-Place (CIP) processes for aseptic filling machines involve foam cleaning followed by hot water rinsing. Traditionally, two different spray nozzles are needed: one for foam and another for hot water. However, the customer requested a solution that would allow them to switch between these two cleaning liquids using a single nozzle.

When they previously tried a PVDF tank cleaning nozzle from another company, they encountered an issue: the inlet port of the nozzle expanded due to the heat from the hot water, causing it to drop off. As a result, the ideal solution would have been a stainless steel shaft that wouldn’t expand and a lightweight resin rotating body that wouldn’t interfere with rotation during foam cleaning.

We designed and manufactured a tailored two-dimensional rotating nozzle, the ES model, with a shaft and bearings made from stainless steel 316L and a rotating body made from PTFE.

As requested by the customer, the single nozzle can now be used for both hot water and foam cleaning.
Cleaning time has been reduced, and the process now runs smoothly without any issues.
