Rotacheck is an intelligent sensor that during the CIP process validates the proper function of the Toftejorg rotary jet head. It is a proven, reliable method that increases quality assurance in tank cleaning.
Verification of the rotation of rotary jet heads
Safe, hygienic and validated tank cleaning
The Alfa LavalRotacheck is an intelligent sensor that validates the rotation of the Toftejorg rotary jet heads during the tank cleaning operation. Designed for use in all types of hygienic tanks, it is approved to carry the 3-A symbol and the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) symbol.
It is available in two versions, Rotacheck Basic and Rotacheck+, both of which are approved for use in potentially explosive environments in Zone 0/20 in the product wetted area and Zone 2/22 in the non-product wetted area.
The Alfa Laval Rotacheck is built upon patented technology and mechanical design. It features a special sensor that accurately and precisely registers, monitors and evaluates the rotation and impact of the rotary jet head. Whenever any deviation from the original rotation or impact pattern is detected, it automatically sends an error signal, enabling the control system as well as the operator to take remedial action to restore optimal operation.
The Rotacheck system may also be used with PW (purified water) and WFI (water for injection) as well as in systems that are pressurized during CIP.
Easy rotary jet head monitoring
Truly hygienic tank cleaning
With Alfa Laval Rotacheck, plant operators and maintenance staff can easily monitor and verify proper rotary jet head function as well as safe and efficient tank cleaning operations. A visual indication light integrated into the field housing displays the status of the rotary jet head. Digital outputs enable effortless connection to any control or PLC-system, providing secure online monitoring of tank cleaning operations at the plant at all times.
The Rotacheck system uses the Alfa Laval Hygienic tank connection, which minimizes microbiological build-up and ensures a fully flushable process connection. EHEDG-approved and authorized to carry the 3-A symbol, the HTC connection is one of Alfa Laval’s new hygienic process connections.
Rotary jet head tank cleaning verification
The Alfa Laval Rotacheck system for rotary jet head tank cleaning verification and validation is available in two versions:
- Rotacheck+, an advanced system with a built-in function for validation of the rotary jet head.
- Rotacheck Basic, a standard system suitable for validating the rotation of the rotary jet head and for retrofitting of Rotacheck systems that are already installed.
