BIFV020-200 Bolondi Rotary Tank Head | 2900 PSI

Bolondi BIFV020-200 Stainless Rotary Jet Cleaning Head

Compact 2,900 PSI CIP head for small and vertical process vessels

• The Bolondi BIFV020-200 is a compact, stainless-steel rotary jet cleaning head designed for
  small to medium tanks, reactors, and vertical vessels where space is tight but hygienic,
  residue-free cleaning is non-negotiable.
• Rated to 2,900 PSI (200 bar), it delivers full 360° interior coverage with
  high-velocity jets that reach shadowed and difficult geometries inside process equipment.
• A water-driven internal motor converts line pressure into smooth rotary motion, eliminating
  external electric or pneumatic drives and simplifying clean-in-place (CIP) design.
• Sized as the compact counterpart to the Bolondi BIFV025-200, it targets smaller ports and tight
  access points while retaining industrial cleaning impact.
• Engineered and manufactured in Reggio Emilia, Italy, it brings European CIP technology to
  North American breweries, food plants, chemical processors, and pharmaceutical facilities.

What This Means for Your Operation

Automated, repeatable clean-in-place performance

• Replaces manual entry, hand lancing, and static spray balls with a repeatable, automated CIP
  cycle that runs from outside the vessel.
• High-impact rotary jets remove biofilm, scale, dried product, and viscous residues without the
  inconsistency of manual methods.
• Faster cleaning cycles reduce downtime between batches, increasing overall line utilization and
  tank availability.
• Significantly reduces confined-space entry requirements, supporting tighter safety and compliance
  protocols for tank cleaning.
• Focused jet impact and controlled coverage reduce water, energy, and detergent consumption
  compared with flood-style cleanouts and open washing.
• Ideal where small- and mid-volume vessels must meet GMP, HACCP, or plant hygiene standards
  without overbuilding the CIP hardware.

Build & Materials (Made to Last)

Stainless construction for aggressive media and hot CIP

• BIFV020-200 Corrosion-resistant stainless body tolerates hot water, caustic, acid, and industry-standard
  detergents used in CIP and sanitation programs.
• Water-only turbine drive eliminates electric motors, air motors, or mechanical drives that add complexity and
  maintenance workload.
• Reinforced internal seals and bearings are selected for frequent CIP cycles and extended duty
  in high-pressure environments.
• Compact, streamlined form factor passes through small tank ports and manways and works well in
  vertical tanks with limited clearance above mixers or internals.
• Designed for repeatable operation in hot, chemically aggressive, and high-frequency washdown
  conditions common to industrial processing lines.

Benefits & Differentiators

Why choose the BIFV020-200

• Fully automated cleaning: Enables true CIP by allowing cleaning cycles to be controlled from
  outside the vessel, with consistent, documented results.
• Compact footprint: Specifically sized for small and vertical tanks where larger
  rotary heads cannot be inserted or rotated freely.
• Energy-efficient drive: Uses existing pump pressure to power rotation, with no additional
  motors, cabling, or air lines to install or maintain.
• High durability: Stainless construction and robust internal components withstand frequent
  cleaning cycles and aggressive wash chemistries.
• Complete coverage: 360° rotary jet pattern minimizes shadowing and untreated surfaces, even in
  complex tank geometries.
• Engineered lead times: Built to order with typical lead times of
  ≈8 weeks via air freight or ≈14 weeks via standard cargo for project planning.

Industries & Applications

Where BIFV020-200 rotary head excels

• Food & beverage: Fermentation tanks, mix vessels, syrup and oil tanks, sauce kettles, and
  small CIP-enabled process tanks.
• Breweries: Fermenters, bright tanks, conditioning tanks, and specialty vessels needing reliable
  foam, yeast, and trub removal.
• Pharmaceutical & biotech: Small reactors, prep vessels, and buffer tanks where validated,
  repeatable cleaning is required.
• Chemical processing: Tanks handling solvents, corrosives, polymers, additives, and high-value
  chemical intermediates.
• Industrial manufacturing: Paints, coatings, adhesives, lubricants, and specialty fluids that leave
  tenacious film or cured deposits.
• Municipal and utilities: Chemical dosing tanks, sludge conditioning vessels, and small basins
  where manned entry is undesirable.

Setup, Use & Maintenance

Best practices for integration and long service life

• Install the BIFV020-200 through a tank port, manway, or dedicated CIP connection using the
  standard threaded process interface specified in your piping design.
• Connect to a high-pressure pump system rated up to 2,900 PSI (200 bar), ensuring that flow and
  pressure align with Bolondi’s recommended operating window.
• Operate within the defined CIP cycle parameters so the internal turbine achieves full rotational coverage of the
  tank interior.
• After detergent or chemical use, flush with clean water to remove residues from the rotary
  mechanism and internal channels.
• Incorporate periodic inspection of seals, bearings, and rotation behavior into your preventive
  maintenance program; address any drag, noise, or incomplete rotation promptly.
• Use OEM rebuild kits and service procedures supplied through AR North America and Bolondi
  channels to maintain performance and compliance.

BIFV020-200

Sizing, compatibility, and project considerations

• Intended as the compact-profile alternative to the larger Bolondi BIFV025-200 for small and
  mid-volume vessels.
• Always verify material and seal compatibility against process media, CIP detergents, and
  sanitizers before deployment.
• Coordinate with pump and nozzle sizing data to ensure that flow, pressure, and impact meet your
  plant’s cleaning and validation requirements.
• For multi-tank systems or validated processes, document setpoints, cycle times, and inspection intervals as part
  of a formal CIP program.
