Introduction 

This manual has been prepared as a guide for installing, operating and maintaining your Rotary Spray 
Head tank cleaning machine.  
 
The information in this manual is simple to follow, but should you require further assistance, our 
Technical Sales Support department and worldwide net of sales offices will be pleased to help you. 
Please quote the type, article and serial numbers with all of your enquiries; this will help us to help you. 
 
This manual covers the SaniMidget SB (Slide Bearing) that consists of two main product series; the 
SaniMidget SB/3-A and the SaniMidget SB UltraPure. Both versions are identical in design. Only 
difference is in material selection for the rotor. The SaniMidget SB UltraPure is equipped with a rotor 
made of USP Class VI certified material and the SaniMidget SB/3-A is equipped with a rotor made of 
material that meets the 3-A Sanitary Standard 20-25. The USP Class VI polymer used has not been 
part of the Third Party Verification (TPV) and as a consequence the SaniMidget SB UltraPure has not 
been verified to meet 3-A Sanitary Standards. 
 

Warning: 

Before installing the machine and setting it into operation carefully read the General 
Installation Instructions (page 11) and the Safety Precautions (page 14) and take all 
necessary precautions according to your application and local regulations. 

 

 

Note:

 The illustrations and specifications contained in this manual were effective at the date of 

printing. However, as continuous improvements are our policy, we reserve the right to alter or modify 
any unit specification on any product without prior notice or any obligation. 

 

Intended Use 

It is to be verified by the end-user: 
 
-  that the tank cleaning machine is in conformity with respect to tank, vessel or container size in 

which it will be used.  

-  that the construction materials (both metallic and non-metallic) are compatible with product, flushing 

media, cleaning media, temperatures and pressure under the intended use. 

 

Important 

information: 

Liquid inlet pressure: Max. 3 bar.  

Do not steam. Steaming through the Rotary Spray Head may result in excessive high 
rotation speed of the cleaner and cause severe wear of the ball bearing and/or 
damage to the cleaner. 

 

 

See General Installation Instructions on page 9 of this manual for information on recommended 
installation position.
