Tornado 4 Orbital cleaner
Attention product discontinuation: Tornado 4 orbital cleaners are no longer available. You can still get spare parts or a repair service on request. As an alternative cleaner, we recommend the product OC200.
Product Discontinuation: In line with our policy of continuous product improvement, we would like to announce that due to the success of the new OC200 modular orbital cleaner, we have decided to discontinue the Tornado 4 unit effective immediately. The Tornado 4 is no longer offered as the OC200 perfectly replaces it. However, the product support team is still available for maintenance and repairs, as well as to help you choose the optimal OC200 alternative.

Optimal operation
The pressure range for operating a Tornado 4 is at 4 – 10 bar on the cleaning machine.
With a flow rate of 236 – 790 liters/minute, a cleaning diameter of 18 – 34 meters is achieved.
The Tornado 4 is a powerful target jet cleaner with an orbital 360° spray pattern. The Tempest is driven by the cleaning medium at a pressure of 4 to 8 bar. Turbine-driven, a radial and axial rotation of the nozzle head is generated. This creates aligned jets of liquid through four long nozzles with a strong impact effect up to a diameter of 34 metres. By circulating jets of liquid, a completing spray pattern with high coverage and full coverage is thus produced within a time window of 4 to 10 minutes.
Optimal flow control enables a smooth-running mechanism without ball bearings and a hygienic sealing concept, the energy used on the unit is transformed into a powerful cleaning effect. The orbital cleaning behaviour enables the best possible use of the cleaning liquid or chemical additives. For use in hygiene-sensitive areas, the unit keeps itself permanently clean with a self-cleaning nozzle and empties itself automatically after use in vertical operation.
The use of the unit always conserves resources and requires minimal wear and maintenance. The Tempest meets the highest hygiene and safety standards and can be used in EX zones and FDA applications at the same time. During a long service life, this unit will always prove to be a reliable partner for your cleaning tasks. Tempest orbital cleaners are available in many connection variants. Optionally, the cleaning process of a Tempest can be permanently and non-invasively monitored by SMW 100 or Vericlean. The Tempest is one of the latest and most effective developments in the cleaning technology market.
Tornado 4 orbital cleaners are available with many connection variants. It is very compact and can be installed in any position in vessels or equipment using a 2” threaded attachment or a choice of splint pin or clamp mounting. The use on a lance or hanging from a hose is also possible. Frequent areas of application for this product are tanks and containers in the brewing, beverage, dairy processing, food, pharmaceutical, chemical and transport industries as well as on ships.
Threaded connection
Tornado 4 standard units are equipped with a 2″ cylindrical female thread BSP (British Standard Pipe according to DIN ISO 228). Optionally, the unit is available with a 2″ tapered female thread NPT (National Pipe Taper, American pipe thread for self-sealing connections).
Cotter pin fastening
The Tornado 4 is optionally available with a 2″ cotter pin connection. The cotter pin connection ensures dead-space-free mounting of the cleaning machine. Cotter pin versions have an approx. 15% higher flow rate.
Clamp fastening
The Tornado 4 is optionally available with a 2″ clamp connection. A clamp connection ensures easy removal of the cleaning machine.
The Tornado 4 is no longer available. The following variants serve as a reference for existing units only.
