Working principle

The sensor of the Alfa Laval Rotacheck Sensor detects the

sweep and impact of fluid jets released as the rotary jet head

performs its cleaning cycle. The system is appropriate

wherever rotary jet heads are employed in cleaning tanks and

where the tank is pressurized during CIP. The signal generated

by the system can be audible, visual or integrated into the

customer’s process control specification.

Based on the geared operation of the cleaning device and

signals recording the impact force from the jets, the sensor

verifies hygienic operation of the rotary jet heads, taking into

account any backpressure in the tanks.

The hygienic Rotacheck sensor is precisely installed to detect

the sweep and impact of fluid jets released as the rotary jet

head performs its cleaning cycle. From the geared operation

of the cleaning device, and by reciving the impact force from

the jets, the sensor provides vertification of hygienic operation.

Any back pressure in the tanks is accounted for.
