Increased uptime and product safety
The free-rotating retractor quickly and effectively removes residue from the inner surfaces of hard-to-clean containers, reduces cross-contamination, minimizes downtime and increases productivity. It complies with FDA, EU and China regulations and ensures very good hygiene and cleaning validity in the process equipment of dairies, food and beverage, household and personal care industries as well as other industries. For high-purity pharmaceutical and biotechnology processing plants, the free-rotating retractor is the solution. A 3.1 documentation package for metal parts is available upon request.
Up to 35% savings on water, chemicals and time
Compared to conventional static spray ball technology, this dynamic and resource-efficient cleaning device saves up to 35% water with each CIP cycle, Chemicals and time. Thus, the CO2 footprint is improved through a more efficient use of resources.
Low total cost
of ownership Thanks to its slim design, the free-rotating retractor is easy and economical to install, operate and maintain.
