BIRW220A

Bolondi BIRW220A (RW220A series) is a heavy-duty rotary jet cleaning head designed for high-pressure industrial sanitation where reliability, precision, and hygiene are critical. Manufactured in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and built entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel, this model is tailored for the internal cleaning of IBC totes, large tanks, reactors, and industrial containers used across demanding sectors such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical production, and wastewater treatment. Its rugged stainless steel build ensures long-term corrosion resistance in chemically aggressive environments, making it a trusted choice for facilities that cannot compromise on safety, compliance, or cleaning consistency.

How It Works
At the heart of the BIRW220A is a self-contained water-motor drive system, which harnesses the hydraulic energy of incoming pressurized water. When fluid enters the unit, it powers a precision turbine that drives the internal rotary arms in synchronized motion. These arms rotate in both vertical and horizontal planes, producing a controlled 360° spray pattern.
The attached nozzles emit concentrated, high-impact jets capable of scouring interior tank walls, seams, and corners. By combining mechanical jet force with hydraulic flushing, the BIRW220A breaks down hardened residues, grease layers, biofilms, mineral scaling, and chemical deposits—then flushes them downstream for removal. This process reduces the need for manual scrubbing or confined-space entry while ensuring uniform coverage of even the most complex vessel geometries.

Pressure & Performance
The BIRW220A is rated for pressures up to 2,900 PSI (200 bar), giving it the capability to handle the most stubborn deposits found in industrial tanks. Its optimized nozzle geometry allows operators to adapt performance to a range of flow rates, depending on the CIP system or mobile rig configuration. This makes the unit suitable for both high-flow flushing cycles and concentrated jet cleaning, maximizing versatility across different cleaning requirements.
The high-impact spray jets not only cut through buildup but also reduce cycle times, water consumption, and chemical use. By delivering aggressive cleaning action in a controlled pattern, the BIRW220A ensures repeatable sanitation outcomes that improve both efficiency and sustainability.

Construction & Durability
Bolondi engineered the BIRW220A with full AISI 316L stainless steel construction, offering superior resistance to corrosion, caustic agents, and high-temperature cleaning fluids. Its sanitary-grade finish complies with hygienic standards required in food, pharmaceutical, and beverage sectors, while its robust structure ensures it can withstand long operational cycles in industrial and municipal facilities.
Key durability advantages include:

Corrosion resistance against acidic or alkaline cleaning solutions.
High-temperature tolerance for hot water and steam cleaning operations.
Low maintenance design with no external power source or complex gearboxes.
Precision machining for smooth rotation, minimal vibration, and extended lifespan.

Applications & Industries
The BIRW220A is versatile and widely deployed across a range of industries, including:

Food & Beverage: Cleaning fermentation tanks, syrup vats, and ingredient silos.
Pharmaceuticals: Sanitation of stainless steel process tanks, reactors, and mixers.
Chemical Processing: Decontaminating reactors, blending tanks, and solvent containers.
Water Treatment: Flushing sludge tanks, grit chambers, and sedimentation basins.
Industrial Manufacturing: Restoring IBC totes, large containers, and metal finishing tanks.

These applications highlight the BIRW220A’s ability to handle both hygienic cleaning and heavy-industrial washdown, making it one of the most adaptable tools in the Bolondi line.

CIP Integration
Purpose-designed for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems, the BIRW220A integrates easily into fixed installations or mobile wash carts. Once installed, it provides automated 360° cleaning cycles without manual intervention, helping facilities:

Shorten downtime between production runs.
Lower labor costs and eliminate confined-space entry.
Reduce water and chemical usage by optimizing jet efficiency.
Ensure consistent sanitation outcomes that meet regulatory compliance.

This seamless integration makes the BIRW220A particularly attractive for facilities operating under strict FDA, USDA, or EU hygiene guidelines.
