Operating Conditions
Pressure-temperature rating for cip spray balls.
Spray balls require minimum pressure for proper coverage. Below 1 bar, spray distance drops significantly.
Service Conditions
- Operating pressure: 1.5 – 3 bar
- Max pressure: 5 bar
- Flow rate: 5 – 120 m³/h
- Pressure drop: 0.5 – 1 bar
- Temperature: +135°C SIP
- Coverage: 360° standard
Actual ratings depend on size, material and operating conditions. Confirm via RFQ for project-specific requirements.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about cip spray balls.
Engineering and procurement questions we hear most often. For project-specific guidance, send your application details via RFQ.
How do I size a spray ball for my tank?
Calculation: required flow = 3-5 m³/h per square meter of tank internal surface area. Tank surface area = π × D × H (cylindrical sides) + tops/bottoms.
For 10 m³ tank (typical 2m diameter × 3m height): surface ≈ 22 m², required flow ≈ 70-110 m³/h. May need multiple spray balls or rotating head.
How is spray coverage verified?
Riboflavin coverage test: spray riboflavin solution onto tank surfaces, run CIP cycle with water, then UV inspect to verify all riboflavin removed.
Standard validation procedure for new installations. Document with photographs under UV light. Re-test after any tank modification.
What pressure is needed?
Standard: 1.5–3 bar at the spray ball inlet. Below 1 bar, spray distance and coverage suffer. Above 5 bar may damage the ball.
CIP pump must deliver required flow at required pressure. Account for piping pressure drop in pump sizing. Provide tank dimensions for spray ball selection.
Should I use static or rotating spray heads?
Static spray balls: most common, no moving parts, reliable for tanks up to 50 m³. Lower cost. Rotating heads: better for stubborn deposits, larger tanks, higher impact.
Static is sufficient for 90% of dairy and food applications. Rotating preferred for brewery and processes with stuck-on residues.
How do I prevent clogging?
Use upstream strainer in CIP supply (40-mesh typical). Inspect spray ball holes monthly. Backflush periodically by reversing flow if possible.
For media prone to scale (hard water, high-mineral), include acid descaling in CIP recipe. Consider EP surface finish for slick interior.
Can spray balls be removed for cleaning?
Yes — threaded NPT/BSP or tri-clamp connections allow removal. Some designs are self-cleaning during normal CIP cycle.
For pharma/biotech with strict cleanability, specify removable/inspectable design. Mount via tri-clamp for tool-free disassembly.
What documentation is provided?
Standard: 3.1 MTR, hole pattern drawing, flow/pressure curve, FDA compliance.
Optional: riboflavin coverage test certificate, EP surface finish report, full BPE package for pharmaceutical applications.
