Pop-Up Whirly Telescopic Spray Nozzle
The Pop-Up Whirly Telescopic Spray Nozzle is a retractable rotary cleaning device designed for clean-in-place (CIP) systems where conventional fixed spray nozzles cannot be installed inside the equipment being cleaned. When the cleaning fluid reaches the required operating pressure, the nozzle automatically extends from its housing and begins rotating to distribute the cleaning fluid. When the pressure is released, the nozzle retracts flush with the tank wall, minimizing internal obstructions.
The STD series retractable rotary cleaner helps reduce manual installation and removal of cleaning devices, shorten cleaning-related downtime, and improve equipment availability. With a low-wear PEEK body and slide bearing design, it is intended for hygienic cleaning applications in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Application
(1) Drying and Powder Conveying Systems: Cleaning pipelines and internal surfaces associated with powder handling equipment.
(2) Spray Dryers: Cleaning spray drying chambers and related equipment.
(3) Cyclones and Separators: Cleaning internal surfaces and areas that may be difficult to access with fixed spray devices.
(4) Fluidized Beds: Cleaning fluid bed equipment and associated drying systems.
(5) Granulators: Cleaning granulators and connecting pipes.
(6) Mixing Tanks and Storage Vessels: Providing retractable rotary spray cleaning inside compatible vessels.
(7) Marine and Oil Tanks: Cleaning compatible tank interiors, subject to the required chemical compatibility and operating conditions.
(8) Food and Beverage Processing: Supporting cleaning operations where hygienic equipment design and reduced internal obstruction are important.
(9) Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Supporting CIP cleaning of compatible process equipment, subject to the facility's cleaning validation and hygienic design requirements.
The nozzle should be selected according to the vessel geometry, cleaning fluid, required spray coverage, operating pressure, temperature, and process hygiene requirements.
Standards
The supplied product information identifies the following regulatory requirements and hygienic design references. Their applicability depends on the material grade, intended use, and actual equipment configuration.
(1) FDA 21 CFR — Food Contact Regulations: Relevant provisions may apply to materials used in food-contact equipment. Compliance of the PEEK body must be supported by documentation for the specific material grade and intended conditions of use.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004: European Union framework regulation for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Applicability and conformity should be assessed according to the component's intended use and supporting material documentation.
(3) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP): Relevant pharmaceutical manufacturing principles include equipment suitability, cleanability, maintenance, and contamination control. GMP is not a standalone product certification for this nozzle.
(4) EHEDG Hygienic Design Guidelines: Relevant guidance includes hygienic design principles and recommendations for cleaning-in-place systems. EHEDG certification should only be claimed if the specific equipment has completed the required evaluation and certification process.
Note: These references are not interchangeable. Food-contact material compliance, hygienic design guidance, and pharmaceutical GMP requirements address different aspects of equipment suitability. Do not interpret the list as confirmation that the complete nozzle is FDA approved, EU certified, GMP certified, or EHEDG certified without supporting documentation.

Features
(1) Automatic Extension and Retraction: The nozzle extends when the cleaning fluid reaches the required operating pressure and retracts when pressure is released.
(2) Rotary Spray Cleaning: The free-spinning spray mechanism distributes cleaning fluid across the target area.
(3) Low-Wear PEEK Body: The specified body material is designed for wear resistance in demanding cleaning applications.
(4) Slide Bearing Design: Supports rotary movement with a simple bearing arrangement.
(5) Flush-Mounted Installation: Retracts into the tank wall to minimize obstruction inside the vessel when not in operation.
(6) Reduced Manual Handling: Eliminates the need to repeatedly install and remove a conventional cleaning device during normal operation.
(7) Inspected Drainage Design: Intended to support drainage after cleaning; actual residual liquid depends on mounting orientation, drainage paths, and the connected system.
(8) Compact Cleaning Solution: Suitable for equipment interiors where space restrictions make conventional fixed nozzles difficult to install.
(9) Hygienic Application Potential: Can be considered for food and pharmaceutical CIP systems when material compatibility, cleanability, and applicable process requirements are verified.
