Location inside Tank The Alfa Laval BladeClean should be placed below the agitator blades. The cone of impact has a tangential force at the point of impact on the blade. This force cleans the area surrounding the exact impact cone. Depending on the length of the blade, more than one Alfa Laval BladeClean may need to be installed for sufficient cleaning. - Page 10 Alfa Laval BladeClean should be adjusted. Note: When in operation, the plunger of Alfa Laval BladeClean rises above the tank bottom to a height of about 5-7 mm. This might interfere with low level scrapers in certain tanks. Consult the nearest Alfa Laval office for more information.
