BIXC060PPD Air Motor Jet Head

Stainless Steel Rotary Cleaner for Demanding Tank Applications

The Bolondi BIXC060PPD is a premium, air motor-driven rotary jet cleaning head designed
for internal cleaning of industrial tanks, IBCs, reactors, and process vessels. Built from
AISI 316L stainless steel and engineered for extreme-duty use, it is well suited for
operations where safety, reliability, and contamination control are non-negotiable. Rated for operating
pressures up to 400 bar (≈5,800 PSI) and flow rates up to 16 GPM (60 L/min),
the BIXC060PPD delivers high-impact jetting that removes hardened residues, coatings, and sludge in
tough industrial environments.

Combining a pneumatic drive, integrated debris protection, and full 360° rotary coverage, this jet
head is a strong choice for chemical plants, oil and gas operations, hazardous waste processing,
and any facility requiring safe, repeatable internal cleaning of tanks and vessels.

Air Motor Drive for Hazardous Zones

Pneumatic Power and Intrinsic Safety

Instead of using electric or hydraulic motors, the BIXC060PPD is powered by a robust
air motor drive. This pneumatic configuration makes it highly suitable for ATEX-classified
zones and other hazardous areas where electrical sparks or powered equipment are restricted.

• Explosion-safe operation: air-driven design reduces ignition risk in solvent-heavy or volatile atmospheres.
• Stable rotation: controlled nozzle rotation for consistent coverage, even when supply pressure fluctuates.
• Versatile deployment: appropriate for offshore rigs, refineries, chemical plants, and mobile cleaning fleets.
• Low electrical risk: no electric motor or wiring inside the tank area.

This drive concept is ideal for oil and gas, petrochemical, coatings, and hazardous waste sectors where operator safety
and regulatory compliance are top priorities.

Pre-Particle Debris (PPD) Protection

Built-In Filtration for Dirty Service

Many CIP and tank cleaning systems operate with wash water that can contain solids, abrasive particles, or process debris.
The PPD (Pre-Particle Debris) system integrated into the BIXC060PPD helps protect the jet head’s internal
components and nozzles from this contamination.

• Filters larger debris before it reaches precision nozzle orifices.
• Reduces wear on the air motor and rotating components.
• Helps maintain a consistent spray pattern over long cleaning cycles.
• Improves service life in particle-laden and reclaim-water environments.

This filtration feature makes the BIXC060PPD particularly well suited for waste management, coatings production,
and heavy industrial processing where other heads may clog or wear prematurely.

High-Pressure 360° Rotary Cleaning

Performance and Coverage

The BIXC060PPD is engineered for high-pressure rotary jetting, providing full internal coverage through
2 to 4 precision nozzle jets. Driven by the pneumatic motor, these jets rotate to create a dense, high-impact spray pattern
capable of addressing challenging deposits.

• Delivers up to 400 bar (≈5,800 PSI) for aggressive cleaning of stubborn residues.
• Supports flows up to 16 GPM (60 L/min) for strong impact and efficient flushing.
• Full 360° coverage reaches walls, seams, and difficult internal geometries.
• Shortens cleaning cycles by minimizing missed areas and the need for manual rework.

With sufficient pressure and flow, operators can reduce reliance on manual entry, scraping, or heavy chemical doses,
improving both safety and productivity.

316L Stainless Steel Construction

Built for Sanitary and Aggressive Environments

The BIXC060PPD is constructed entirely from 316L stainless steel, delivering excellent corrosion
resistance and mechanical strength in demanding process environments.

• Handles caustics, acids, solvents, and common CIP chemistries.
• Suitable for hot-water and elevated-temperature cleaning routines.
• Maintains structural integrity under continuous high-pressure duty.
• Compatible with sanitary environments in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic production.

Precision-balanced nozzle arms promote smooth, low-vibration operation, which further protects bearings, seals,
and rotating components over extended service intervals.

Applications

Where the BIXC060PPD Is Used

• Chemical & petrochemical processing: reactors, mixers, solvent storage, and coating tanks.
• Oil & gas / offshore facilities: ATEX-rated cleaning of crude tanks, mud pits, and support vessels.
• Food & beverage operations: cleaning bulk IBCs, oil, syrup, and ingredient tanks (with appropriate CIP chemistry).
• Pharmaceuticals & cosmetics: CIP cleaning for solvent-based or viscous formulations.
• Waste management & recycling: tanks exposed to abrasive slurries and debris-laden fluids.
• Mobile service fleets: portable tank cleaning systems deployed in field operations.

Key Benefits & Differentiators

What Sets the BIXC060PPD Apart

• Air motor drive: intrinsically safer in explosion-sensitive or ATEX-zoned areas.
• PPD filtration: protects internals and nozzles from debris-related damage.
• High-pressure capability: up to 400 bar (≈5,800 PSI) for demanding cleaning tasks.
• Full rotary coverage: 360° pattern reaches internal surfaces with minimal shadowing.
• 316L stainless steel: corrosion-resistant and hygienic for process industries.
• Flexible integration: can be installed in fixed CIP loops or used on mobile rigs.
• Built-to-order availability: typical lead times of approximately 8 weeks by air freight or 14 weeks by sea freight, depending on configuration.
