Changes to the machine are not allowed without approval by the person responsible for the ATEX certification at Alfa Laval. If
changes are made – or spare parts other than Alfa Laval original spare parts are used - the EC Type Examination certification (the
ATEX Directive) is no longer valid.
Important ATEX Also see page 19 regarding special conditions for repair of ATEX certified machines.
information:
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ20G is designed in accordance with the EHEDG design guidelines for sanitary design of processing
equipment. It is produced according to Alfa Laval Kolding’s ISO-9001 international Standard certified quality system. All parts
are made from certified material and all non-metal parts are made from FDA complaint materials.
9
4 Installation
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ20G is a media driven and media lubricated tank cleaning machine. No lubricating substances such
as oil, grease etc. are used. All materials are selected for contact with food, and the machine is self-cleaning i.e. all internal
and external surfaces are cleaned.
For use in explosive hazard zones the ATEX version can be used, provided it is installed according to safety instructions
in local regulations.
4.2 Functioning
The flow of cleaning fluid into the machine passes through a turbine, which accordingly is set into rotation. Through a gear
set and a driver tube, the turbine rotation is transmitted to the Cleaner Head.
The combined motion of the machine Body and the Nozzles ensures a fully indexed tank cleaning coverage. After 55/8
revolutions of the Hub cover with Nozzles (53/8 revolutions of the machine Body), one coarse cleaning pattern is laid out
on the tank surface and the first cycle has been made. During the following cycles, this pattern is repeated 7 times, each
of which is displaced, and the pattern gradually becomes more dense. Finally, after 8 cycles - a total of 45 revolutions of
the Hub Cover with Nozzles (43 revolutions of the machine Body), a complete cleaning pattern has been laid out, and
the first pattern is repeated.
This is illustrated below for a spherical tank with the machine placed in the centre:
The number of cycles needed to perform a proper cleaning depends on type of soilage, position of the tank cleaning machine,
cleaning procedure, cleaning temperature and cleaning agent.
For substances that are easily mobilised, i.e. are easy to remove, one cycle could be sufficient while in cases of more heavy
soilage (high viscous, sticky substances, etc.) a more dense pattern/more cycles are needed.
The rotation speed of the turbine depends on the flow rate through the machine. The higher the flow rate, the higher the
speed of rotation. In order to control the RPM of the machine for a wide range of flow rates, the machine has different
turbines according to the Nozzle size.
10
4 Installation
Apart from the main flow flushing the gear and the
Hub, and thereafter forming the jets through the
Nozzles, fluid is flushed through all internal areas,
through Bevel gear, Ball bearings and gaps between
moving parts and finally also used for cleaning of
the outside surfaces of the machine. The areas
behind the Screws on the Cone are cleaned through
small spray holes behind the Screws. In the bottom
of the Body, a drainage hole is present to ensure
self-draining. This self-draining is only ensured, if the
machine is installed in upright position.

4 Installation
The tank cleaning machine should be installed in vertical position (upright or upside down). It is recommended to install a filter
in the supply line in order to avoid large particles, scale etc. to clog inside the machine. It is essential to avoid fine solid
particles (e.g. fine sand) in cleaning fluid as they increase wear considerably.
In general, a filter with 3 mm holes is recommended in the supply line. In case of fine solid particles below 500 µm in the
cleaning fluid, choose filter size accordingly.
In order to sperate the CIP system from the process it is recommended to install a shutoff valve close to the machine inlet.
This also prevents back-flow of liquid from the tank through the machine in case the cleaner head is submerged and
there is an over-pressure inside the tank. The installation and operation shall be made in such a way that the self-draining
of the machine is ensured.
It is recommended that the fluid valve fitted is of a type that prevents hydraulic shocks, which may cause severe damage to
the Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ20G and/or the entire installation. Ideally, a frequency controlled pump with a ramp function for
start-up is used for supplying the cleaning liquid.
Before connecting the machine onto the system, all supply lines and valves should be flushed in order to remove foreign
particles.
The machine should be screwed tightly onto its supporting supply line using a 36 mm flat jawed spanner (tool No. TE81B040)
on the flats machined on the inlet Cone.
During handling and installation handle the machine with care in order not to damage the surface finishes of the machine.
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ20G machine has been tested at the factory before shipping. You can check that the machine is
in operating condition by blowing compressed air into the inlet, while holding the machine by the cone and verify that the
rest of the machine rotates evenly. if resistance is recognised, the machine should be disassembled in order to localise the
cause or returned to the nearest Alfa Laval Service Centre.
Upon arrival check that the machine is in operation condition by inserting a flathead Screwdriver in top of turbine shaft and
easily turn Turbine shaft anti-clockwise. If any resistance is recognised, the machine should be disassembled in order to
localise the cause.
For devices with tapered thread connections to the down pipe, it is recommended that you secure the connection in a
manner appropriate for the application. Subject to the intended use environment and any inhouse user requirements or
policies, an adhesive such as Loctite No. 243 or equivalent could be used. Other methods could be acceptable and
subject to customer preference.
Note: Do not try to turn the nozzle head by hand, since this may damage the Gear. The Nozzle head can be turned by
blowing compressed air through the inlet connection or using a flathead screwdriver in top of the turbine shaft.
Note: The machine shall be installed in accordance with national regulations for safety and other relevant regulations and
standards. Precautions shall be made to prevent starting of the cleaning operation, while personnel are inside the tank or
otherwise can be hit by jets from the nozzles. In EU-countries the complete system must fulfil the EU-machine Directive and
depending of application, the EU-Pressure Equipment Directive, the EU-ATEX Directive and other relevant Directives and shall
be CE-marked before it is set into operation.
12
4 Installation
Warning: Precautions shall be made to prevent starting of the cleaning operation, while personnel are inside the
tank or otherwise can be hit by jets from the nozzles.
Warning: If the machine is used in potential explosive atmospheres, tapes or joint sealing compounds which are
electrical insulators must not be used on threads or joints, unless an electrical connection is otherwise
established to ensure an effective earthing. In addition, connecting pipe work, must be electrically
conductive and earthed to the tank structure. The resistance between the nozzles and the tank
structure should not exceed 20,000 Ohm. This is essential to avoid the build-up of static electricity on
the machine. For further information see IEC/TS 60079-32-1:2013, guidance and recommendations
for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity.

6 Maintenance
Following the Alfa Laval Tank Equipment Preventive Maintenance Guidelines and using the Alfa Laval Service Kits ensures
the availability of your equipment at all times and enables you to plan your operating budget and your downtime. The risk
of unscheduled breakdowns due to component failure is virtually eliminated and in the long term your operating costs
are reduced.
Alfa Laval Tank Cleaning Equipment Service Kits contain all you need. They comprise genuine Alfa Laval spare parts,
manufactured to the original specifications.
The recommended preventive maintenance program is based on tank cleaning machines working in average conditions.
However, a tank cleaning machine, exposed to heavy soiling and recirculation CIP liquid containing abrasives and/or
particulates, needs more frequent attention than one exposed to light/no soiling and recirculation with ordinary CIP liquid.
Alfa Laval Kolding A/S recommends you to adjust the maintenance program to suit the cleaning task in hand. Contact
your local Alfa Laval sales office for discussion.
For further information regarding Alfa Laval Service Kits and service intervals, see paragraph 6.3 Maintenance Intervals and
Service Kits on page 19 of this manual or the Spare Parts Manual.

Wear b) Remove Cap nut (Pos. 23) and check Washer (Pos. 22) for wear and signs of
corrosion - replace if needed.
If large particles repeatedly get jammed in the machine, install filter or reduce
mesh size of installed filter in supply line.
Foreign material or material build-up Insert Screwdriver in Screw in top of Turbine shaft and easily turn Turbine shaft
clockwise. If any resistance is recognised, disassemble machine to localise
cause.
a). Impeller jammed Remove Turbine shaft with Impeller and Carrier assembly (see page 24) and
remove foreign material.
b). Turbine shaft sluggish in Bearing Remove Turbine shaft with Impeller (see page 24) and clean Bearing.
c). Planet gear jammed/sluggish Remove foreign material from Planet wheels and internal gears. Check rotation
of Planet wheels. If restriction is recognised, disassemble Carrier assembly
(see page 24) and remove material build up, especially on Shafts and bushes
in Planet wheels.
d). Stem or Hub jammed/sluggish Remove Carrier assembly (see page 24). Turn Hub cover and check unrestricted
rotation. Remove Stem and Hub (see page 24 ff). Remove foreign material/
material build-up on Stem, Hub and inside Nut w. ball race. Clean Ball races
and Ball retainer with balls. Assemble Stem/Hub, Ball retainer with balls and
Stem/Hub nut with ball race.
e). Bevel gears jammed Remove Stem and Hub (see page 24 ff). Clean teeth on Stem and Hub.
Wear
a) Slide bearings See page 19.
b) Bearings for Turbine shaft See page 19.
c) Planet wheels See page 19.
d) Shafts for Planet wheels Check clearance of Planet wheels on Shafts. Transverse movement should
not exceed 0.3 mm.
e) Turbine shaft Check clearance in Carrier bearing and Bearing for Turbine shaft. Transverse
movement should not exceed 0.3 mm. Also inspect teeth for wear.
Mechanical defects
a) Planet wheels. Teeth broken Replace Planet wheel.
b) Planet wheel can not rotate on Shafts/ Replace Shafts for Planet wheels.
Shafts bent
c) Damaged teeth on Bevel gear Inspect teeth on Stem and Hub for deformation. Mount Hub and Stem in Body
(See page 26). Hold Body in upside down position and rotate Hub to check that
bevel gears can work together. If damaged: Replace Stem and/or Hub.

Note: Throw lengths are measured as horizontal throw length at static condition. Vertical throw length upwards is approx. 1/3
less. Effective throw length is defined as impact centre of jet 250 mm water column (50 lbs/[Link]). Effective throw length varies
depending on jet transverse speed over surface, substance to be removed, cleaning procedure and agent. The inlet pressure
has been taken immediately before the machine inlet. In order to achieve the performance indicated in the curves, the pressure
drop in the supply lines between pump and machine must be taken into consideration.
