Optimal Operating Values
The pressure range for operating a Torus 50/75 is at 1 – 4 bar at the cleaning nozzle.
With a flow rate of 15 – 77 liters/minute, a cleaning diameter of 1 – 3,3 meters is achieved.
Fast rotating Torus rotary nozzles produce a permanently uniform and instantaneous droplet-shaped liquid distribution. Intelligent fluid bearing makes these rotary nozzles extremely durable compared to their ball bearing counterparts. An extensive range of 360°/180° spray patterns and many connection types are available.
Some of these products are highly resistant to operation with compressed air or steam (PEEK). Torus cleaning nozzles are ideally suited for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries and meet the highest hygiene requirements. Torus or Chemitorus with C.PTFE rotor are both FDA-compliant and EX-exempt. Torus rotary nozzles are available in Hastelloy C22.
The TORUS is suitable for low pressure applications with low water volume. The ability to operate the TORUS at even low pressures and flow rates starting at 15L gives it an advantage for many applications. In operation, the cleaning fluid causes a rotor with slots to rotate rapidly, causing high-energy droplets to impact all areas. The TORUS consists of only 2 parts and is ideal for impact cleaning and continuous cleaning with a strong cleaning effect. The TORUS cleans itself during operation. Due to the sliding bearing system of the TORUS, these nozzles can often be used for years with almost no wear. The TORUS also promises exceptional service life when used with compressed air or superheated steam sterilization and high temperatures (depending on the application).
The TORUS can replace static spray balls in vessels up to 3.3 meters and produces a full coverage distribution and good mechanical cleaning effect with a small amount of liquid. The TORUS is suitable for cleaning vessels and plant components in highly sensitive applications. It is compactly designed so that it can be installed inside pipelines. The TORUS is available in 3 different sizes.
The TORUS is made of FDA and/or ATEX certified materials. For the first time, ATEX and FDA certificates can be issued for these cleaning nozzles at the same time. The TORUS is available in 360° and 180° versions. The TORUS Cleaner is also available as CHEMITORUS made of complete PTFE, C.PTFE or Hastelloy and as TORUS 100.
Threaded Connection
Torus 50/75 standard devices are equipped with a 3/8″ or 1/2″ cylindrical internal thread BSP (British Standard PIPE according to DIN ISO 228). The device is optionally available with a 3/8″ or 1/2 conical internal thread NPT (National Pipe Taper, American pipe thread for self-sealing connections).
Split pin Connection
Torus 50/75 are optionally available with 1/2″ or 3/4″ or DN10 optional DN15 Splint connection. The Split pin connection ensures that the cleaning nozzle is attached without dead space. Split pin versions have an approx. 15% higher flow rate compared to other conection types.

| B* (split pin version) corresponds to the inner diameter of the torus for mounting on a tube whose max. outer diameter must be taken into account. Further special adaptations possible. When purchasing a split pin version, the exact outside diameter of the existing tube must be known. A suitable split pin is supplied. BSP thread types are also available as NPT thread version. Split pin mounting up to 15% higher flow. | |||||||
