Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has acquired Gamajet Cleaning Systems, Inc., a leading provider of tank cleaning machines as well as self-contained and portable cleaning systems for the industrial and sanitary markets in North America. Gamajet, which had sales of approximately SEK 75 million in 2011 and some 30 employees is headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania.

Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group, comments on the acquisition: “We have built the leading position within tank cleaning equipment over the past 10 years. Gamajet fits very well with our ambitions and it expands our product portfolio. It will especially extend our offer to the industrial market and also strengthen our position in North America.”

Gamajet Cleaning Systems will be integrated into Alfa Laval. The company will be consolidated from August 23, 2012.

Did you know that… Alfa Laval took the first step to build its tank cleaning business in 2003 by acquiring the Danish company Toftejorg? Today the tank cleaning business represents about SEK 300 million, including Gamajet Cleaning Systems.

A new high-pressure tank cleaner designed for removing residues from large tanks and reactors is available.

The new AA190-HP5 High Pressure Tank Cleaner from Spraying Systems Co. operates at pressures up to 5000 psi for high-impact cleaning of tanks up to 80 feet in diameter. The units are powered by an air motor positioned outside the tank away from harmful caustics.

AA190-HP5 Tank Cleaners are equipped with two or four specially designed solid stream nozzles. These nozzles provide increased impact and better stream integrity than conventional solid stream nozzles for significantly better cleaning performance. The nozzles rotate in multiple axes to provide complete coverage of the entire tank.

Designed for long service life, the gears are enclosed in PTFE sleeves for protection from outside solids and residue build-up, making maintenance requirements minimal.

The AA190-HP5 can be installed permanently or moved from tank to tank. High-quality swivel hoist rings on the flange assist with installation and removal.

The cleaner is ideal for cleaning chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, paint and PTFE tanks.

Spraying Systems Co. is a global leader in spray technology. It has the broadest product range in the industry, several manufacturing facilities and sales offices in more than 85 countries.
