A Fixed Sanitary Cleaning Ball works by distributing cleaning liquid through precisely arranged spray holes on the ball surface. During the CIP process, cleaning fluid enters the internal chamber and is released through multiple openings to create a controlled spray pattern that reaches tank walls and internal surfaces.
Unlike rotating spray devices, the fixed design has no internal moving parts. This simple structure reduces wear risks while maintaining reliable cleaning performance during repeated washing cycles. Depending on tank size, pressure, and spray design, different models can provide suitable coverage for storage tanks, mixing vessels, and process equipment.
The biggest difference of a fixed cleaning ball is the simple internal structure.
Without rotating components, there are fewer parts that can wear, loosen, or require replacement during continuous CIP operation. This makes it suitable for systems where stable cleaning performance and easy maintenance are important.
Cleaning efficiency depends not only on spray pressure but also on the position and size of spray openings.
DINGYUE cleaning balls are designed with controlled spray hole distribution to achieve balanced liquid coverage inside tanks, helping reduce areas that are difficult to reach during cleaning cycles.
Different equipment designs require different installation methods.
The cleaning ball can be supplied with options including:
· Tri-Clamp connection
· Threaded connection
· Weld connection
This allows easier integration into existing CIP pipelines and tank cleaning systems.

DINGYUE focuses on manufacturing sanitary stainless steel components for hygienic fluid systems.
Our production follows strict material and dimensional control procedures. Stainless steel grades are verified before production, and finished components are inspected before shipment to ensure consistent performance.
Available quality documents include:
· Material Test Report (MTR)
· Heat number traceability
· Dimensional inspection records
· Surface finish inspection
Our sanitary products are designed according to international requirements including:
· 3-A Sanitary Standards
· ASME BPE
· FDA related material requirements
For customized projects, DINGYUE supports product modification based on tank structure, connection requirements, and CIP system parameters.
Yes, when the correct model is selected according to tank size, spray coverage, pressure, and flow rate.
The cleaning effect depends on several factors, including spray hole arrangement, installation position, and CIP parameters. A properly selected spray ball can provide effective coverage for tank walls and internal surfaces during cleaning cycles.
The coverage range depends on operating pressure, liquid flow rate, and tank design.
DINGYUE provides different sizes and spray configurations to match various vessel dimensions. Buyers can provide tank diameter, height, and CIP conditions for suitable selection.
The main difference is the internal structure.
A fixed spray ball relies on designed spray holes to distribute cleaning liquid, while a rotary spray ball uses moving parts to create rotating spray coverage.
Fixed models are often preferred when simple structure, easy maintenance, and stable operation are priorities.
Maintenance requirements are relatively low because the fixed structure does not contain rotating components.
Regular inspection mainly focuses on spray hole condition, surface cleanliness, and connection sealing during routine CIP maintenance.
Yes.
Our Cleaning Ball is manufactured using sanitary stainless steel materials such as SS304 and SS316L. The smooth surface design helps reduce contamination risks and supports hygienic processing requirements.
Installation is straightforward when the connection type matches the existing CIP system.
Tri-Clamp versions allow quick installation and removal, while threaded or welded options can be selected according to equipment requirements.
