| Inlet Connection: |
1-1/4 in. NPT-Female | 1-1/4 in. BSP Female | TC Sanitary Inlets are available |
| Construction/Design: |
Parts are machined from 316-L stainless steel investment castings or bar stock. |
| Impeller: |
For increased wear resistance, the impeller is plasma-sprayed with a Chromium Oxide coating on Stainless Steel. |
| Shaft & Gearbox Bushings: |
Turbide shaft thrust is absorbed by a Tungsten carbide bushing. Gearbox bushings are carbon-filled Teflon or other non-cupric material. |
| Bearings: |
Bearings in the rotating tee and nozzle housings are self-lubricating, carbon-fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide. |
| Bearing Cups: |
Main body castings are protected by replaceable 316-L Stainless Steel cups for extended frictional wear life. |
| Static Seals: |
O-Ring materials are selected for each application. Viton® is standard with Kalrez®, Zalak® and EPDM available. Other materials can be supplied on special order. |
| Dynamic Seals: |
Rotary shaft and housing seals are spring-loaded, double-lipped and made of PTFE. They are reinforced for extra long wear and protection against leakage, abrasion and deposit build-up. |
| Nozzles: |
Dual 0.125 in. (3.28 mm), 0.135 in. (3.4 mm), 0.15 in. (3.8 mm), 0.165 in. (4.2 mm), 0.187 in. (4.8 mm), 0.2 in. (5.1 mm) and 0.225 in. (5.7 mm) orifice diameters. Short and long nozzles available. Other nozzle sizes available upon request. |
| Drive Mechanism: |
The wash fluid enters the GJ 5 at the inlet collar where it encounters and spins turbine blades. The turbine blades are attached to the top of the input shaft, the bottom of this shaft is connected to the inside of a sealed, planetary gear-head which then turns the body in the horizontal plane and the nozzles in the vertical plane. |
| Planetary Gearhead: |
The sealed planetary gearhead has an external casing made of steel, surface-anodized for added corrosive resistance. This sealed gearhead is located inside the gearbox, which itself is sealed, and thus does not require any lubricant. All internal parts are hardened sintered steel. The end caps and the output shaft are stainless steel. |
| Lubricant: |
A food grade lubricant is inside the sealed gearhead casing. No customer-supplied or user-maintained lubricant is needed. |
