3 Introduction
TJ40G
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G is certified as category I component. The certification is carried out by the notified body Baseefa,
who has issued the certificate no. 17ATEX0018X and IECEx BAS 17.0017X.
Note
Explosion protection type is constructional safety “c”.
The marking on the ATEX/IECEx certified Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G is as follows:

3 Introduction
TJ40G
The maximum surface temperature depends mainly on operating conditions which are the temperature of the process fluid and
the ambient temperature.
Group II EPL Ga
The gas temperature class is corrected with a safety margin of 80% due to a requirement for Group ll EPL Ga equipment.
The gas temperature class depends on the process fluid temperature or the ambient temperature, whichever of the two is
the highest.
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G is designed to be best-in-class on hygienic design using recognised principles of hygienic design
wherever feasible. It is produced according to Alfa Laval Kolding’s ISO-9001 international Standard certified quality system. All
parts are made from certified material and all non-metal parts are made from FDA and EU 10/2011 complaint materials.
10
4 Installation
TJ40G
The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G is a media driven and media lubricated tank cleaning machine. No lubricating substances such
as oil, grease etc. are used. All materials are selected for contact with food, and the machine is self-cleaning i.e. all internal and
external surfaces are cleaned during normal operation.
For use in explosive hazard zones the ATEX/IECEx version can be used, provided it is installed according to safety instructions
in local regulations.
4.2 Functioning
The flow of cleaning fluid into the machine passes through a turbine, which accordingly is set into rotation. Through a gear set,
the turbine rotation is transmitted to the cleaner head.
The combined motion of the machine body and the nozzles ensures a fully indexed tank cleaning coverage. After 5 5/8 rev-
olutions of the hub cover with nozzles (5 3/8 revolutions of the machine body), one coarse cleaning pattern is laid out on the
tank surface and the first cycle has been made. During the following cycles, this pattern is repeated 7 times, each of which is
displaced, and the pattern gradually becomes more dense. Finally, after 8 cycles - a total of 45 revolutions of the hub cover with
nozzles (43 revolutions of the machine body), a complete cleaning pattern has been laid out, and the first pattern is repeated
(figure 1).
Figure 1: Build up of pattern for cylindrical tank with the machine placed in the centre
The number of cycles needed to perform a proper cleaning depends on type of soilage, position of the tank cleaning machine,
cleaning procedure, cleaning temperature and cleaning agent.
For substances that are easily mobilised, i.e. are easy to remove, one cycle could be sufficient while in cases of more heavy
soilage (high viscous, sticky substances, etc.) a more dense pattern (more cycles) are needed.
The rotation speed of the turbine depends on the flow rate through the machine. The higher the flow rate, the higher the
speed of rotation. In order to control the RPM of the machine for a wide range of flow rates, the machine has different turbines
according to the nozzle size.

Apart from the main flow flushing the gear and the hub, and thereafter
forming the jets through the nozzles, fluid is flushed through all inter-
nal areas, through bevel gear, ball bearings and gaps between moving
parts and finally also used for cleaning of the outside surfaces of the
machine. In the bottom of the body, a drain hole is present to ensure
self-draining. This self-draining is only ensured, if the machine is in-
stalled in upright position.
The cone is cleaned from the patent pending design of the hub; this
is by impact and sheeting action.

The threaded connection between downpipe and machine is not a A: Down pipe
product contact surface as it is enclosed using two seals and the B: Welding adapter
welding adaptor. If needed, a welding adaptor, depending on downpipe C: Seal PTFE
dimensions, must be ordered separately (see page 37ff). D: Seal EPDM

4 Installation
TJ40G
During handling and installation handle the machine with care in order not to damage the surface finish of the machine.
Upon arrival check that the machine is in operating condition using an 8 mm socket wrench on the turbine shaft and easily turn
the turbine shaft anti-clockwise. If resistance is recognized, disassembled the machine to localize the cause.
NOTE
Do not try to turn the hub with hub nozzles by hand, since this may damage the gear. The hub with nozzles can be turned by
blowing compressed air through the inlet connection or using a socket wrench on top of the turbine shaft.
Before connecting the machine to the system, all supply lines and valves should be flushed for removal of foreign particles.
The tank cleaning machine should be installed in vertical position (upright or upside down). The installation and operation shall be
made so that the self-draining of the machine is ensured.
The machine should be screwed tightly onto the supply line using a 65 mm flat jawed spanner (tool No. TE81B147) on the flats,
machined on the inlet cone. Subject to the environment of intended use and any in-house user requirements or policies adhesives
such as Loctite no. 2046 could be used to prevent the connection from loosening due to excessive vibration in the system.
In order to separate the CIP system from the process it is recommended to install a shutoff valve close to the machine inlet.
This also prevents back-flow of liquid from the tank through the machine in case the machine is submerged and there is
an over-pressure inside the tank.
It is recommended that the fluid valve fitted is of a type that prevents hydraulic shocks. Hydraulic shocks may cause severe
damage to the machine and/or the entire installation. Ideally, use a frequency controlled pump with a ramp function for start-up
to supply the cleaning liquid.
Larger particles may get trapped in the nozzles, while smaller particles may be get trapped in the smaller clearances of the
machine and increase wear. Magnitude of the issues relies on the particle shape and properties (e.g. soft vs. hard). Experience
shows that Alfa Laval tank cleaning machines may operate with strainer sizes larger than recommended below. Contact your
local Alfa Laval office for support.
For low amounts of particles in the recirculating CIP liquid larger particles should be avoided and in this case a 3 mm strainer
may be sufficient for a reliable operation.
For high amounts of particles in the recirculating CIP liquid it is recommended to install a strainer according to the smallest
clearance in the machines. For the TJ40G a strainer of 0.1 mm is recommended and for the TJ40G-HD a strainer of 1 mm is
recommended.
The machine shall be installed in accordance with national regulations for safety and other relevant regulations and standards.
Precautions shall be made to prevent starting of the cleaning operation, while personnel are inside the tank or otherwise can
be hit by jets from the nozzles. In EU-countries the complete system must fulfil the EU-machine Directive and depending
of application, the EU-Pressure Equipment Directive, the EU-ATEX/IECEx Directive and other relevant Directives and shall
be CE-marked before it is set into operation.
Warning: Precautions shall be made to prevent starting of the cleaning operation, while personnel are inside the
tank or otherwise can be hit by jets from the nozzles.

5 Operation
TJ40G
Cleaning Media
Use only media compatible with Stainless Steel AISI 316, SAF 2205, PEEK, PFA HP and EPDM. Normal detergents, moderate
solutions of acids and alkalics are acceptable. Aggressive chemicals, excessive concentrations of chemicals at elevated
temperatures, as well as certain hypochlorids should be avoided. If in doubt, contact your local Alfa Laval sales office.
NOTE
Do not try to turn the hub with nozzles by hand, since this may damage the gear. The hub with nozzles can be turned by
blowing compressed air through the inlet connection or by using a socket wrench on top of the turbine shaft.
Product
In cases where the machine is submerged in, or in other ways exposed to, product the compatibility between stainless steel
AISI 316, SAF 2205, PEEK, PFA HP and EPDM and the product must be considered carefully.
NOTE
EPDM swells significantly exposed to fatty materials.
Pressure
Avoid hydraulic shocks. Increase pressure gradually. Do not exceed 12 bar inlet pressure. Recommended inlet pressure: 5-7
bar. High pressure in combination with high flow rate increase consumption of wear parts. High pressure also reduces
the cleaning effect.
Steam cleaning
If stream cleaning is done through the machine, the steam pressure must not cause the machine body rotation to exceed 10
rpm (corresponding to appx. 6 sec pr. rev of the body) in order to avoid risk of machine breakdown. See paragraph 4.4 Specific
conditions for safe use in accordance with ATEX/IECEx certification (page 14).

5 Operation
TJ40G
Temperature
The maximum recommended process liquid temperature is 95oC. The maximum recommended steam temperature is 140oC.
The maximum ambient temperature is 140oC.
See paragraph 4.4 Specific conditions for safe use in accordance with ATEX/IECEx certification (page 14).
The machine is intended for use inside a tank only. As peak velocity of main jets reaches 40 m/s, The Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G
must not be operated in open air or when tank is open.
Warning: Hot chemicals and steam under pressure may be used for cleaning and sterilising. Protect against scalding
and burning. Never tamper with or try to open clamps or other connections while system is in operation. Make
sure that system is de-pressurised and drained before disassembly.
The cleaning jets impinging the tank surface are a source of noise. Depending on pressure and distance to the tank walls, noise
level may reach up to 85 dB.
Warning: Tanks may contain poisonous/hazardous products or products which represent an environmental or safety
risk. Never open tank and dismount the machine without checking previous tank contents and necessary
precautions.

6 Maintenance
TJ40G
Following the Alfa Laval Preventive Maintenance Guidelines and using the Alfa Laval Service Kits ensures the availability of your
equipment at all times and enables you to plan your operating budget and your downtime. The risk of unscheduled breakdowns
due to component failure is virtually eliminated and in the long term your operating costs are reduced.
Alfa Laval Tank Cleaning Equipment Service Kits contain all you need. They comprise genuine, traceable Alfa Laval spare parts,
manufactured to the original specifications.
The recommended preventive maintenance program is based on tank cleaning machines working in average conditions. How-
ever, a tank cleaning machine, exposed to heavy soiling and recirculation CIP liquid containing abrasives and/or particulates (see
section 4.3 General safety and installation instructions for strainer recommendations), needs more frequent attention than one
exposed to light/no soiling and recirculation with ordinary CIP liquid. Alfa Laval Kolding A/S recommends that you adjust the
maintenance program to suit the cleaning task in hand. Contact your local Alfa Laval sales office for discussion.
For further information regarding Alfa Laval Service Kits and service intervals, see paragraph 6.3 Maintenance Intervals and service
Kits on page 19 of this manual or the Spare Parts Manual.
NOTE
Handle the Alfa Laval Toftejorg machine with care. Take proper action to protect surfaces from being damaged.
Always use only proper tools and the Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G standard tool kit (page 20). Never use force, hammer or pry
components together or apart. Always perform all assembly/disassembly steps in the order described in this manual.
Clean all surfaces prior to assembling. Especially take care of the mating surfaces. Work in a clear well-lighted work area.
According to “Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 - Article 17” effective from 27th of October 2006, producers of food shall ensure
traceability of the materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. It is recommended that a traceability
system is setup for replacement of wear parts and spare parts. This makes it possible to identify into which machine a given
wear part or spare part has been inserted.
All service and repair of ATEX/IECEx certified machines can be performed by Alfa Laval Kolding A/S, Denmark, or by an Alfa Laval
service center approved by Alfa Laval Kolding A/S.
Changes to the machine are not allowed without approval by the person responsible for the ATEX/IECEx certification at Alfa Laval.
If changes are made – or spare parts other than Alfa Laval original spare parts are used - the EC Type Examination certification
(the ATEX/IECEx Directive) is no longer valid.
Warning: In order to ensure compliance with the ATEX/IECEx regulations and keep the machine ATEX/IECEx certification
valid the service or repair must be performed by an authorized person with knowledge of the ATEX/IECEx
requirements and regulations.
All spare parts must be original Alfa Laval spare parts and the repair or service must be done according to the
instructions in the related manual.
If a customer wishes to carry out service or repair himself, it is the responsibility of the repair shop to ensure that
the ATEX/IECEx requirements are met in any way possible. After performing service or repair, the repair shop
thus carries the full responsibility for traceability of all relevant documents in order to ensuring the retention of the
ATEX/IECEx certification of the machine.

6 Maintenance
TJ40G
It is recommended that the wear parts are checked every 500 working hours for machine working under normal conditions. There
are Minor and Major service kits for the Alfa Laval Toftejorg TJ40G (see parts lists and drawings page 40 ff).
Service intervals
6. Check gear wheels (15 and 16). They must rotate easily on the shafts. If restriction or too much clearance on shafts is felt,
planet wheels should be dismounted for inspection of bearing surfaces and shafts for planet wheel (14). Max diameter of
holes: 6.8 mm. Check tooth wear. If replacement is necessary, planet wheels must be replaced as a pair.
7. Check unrestricted rotation of ball bearings. Inspect for build-up of foreign material on stem nut (12) and hub nut (6), in
ball retainers (5) and ball races (4).
8. Inspect the nozzle vanes (28) for foreign objects (e.g. product pulp, threads, etc.) and if necessary clean with care –
damaging nozzles (or fouled nozzles) decrease the throw length of the machine. Clean using compressed air or tweezers.
9. Replace gaskets if damaged.
10. Check if ball races (5) on stem and hub (3) as well as stem/hub nut w. ball race (12 and 6): If heavily worn, they should be
replaced. Also the ball retainer w. balls (5) should be replaced if heavily worn.
11. Assemble machine as described in the following pages.
12. Check that the hub (3) is not stuck on hub nut - it should be possible to shift hub (3) a little both clockwise and anticlockwise.

Warning: During disassembly and assembly the threads can gall. If any resistance is felt when screwing/unscrew-
ing parts, proceed with caution.
Before assembly make sure that all parts are clean without deposits or build-up of foreign matter.
Inspect the nozzle vanes (28) for foreign objects (e.g. product pulp, threads, etc.) and if necessary clean with care - damaging
nozzles (or fouled nozzles) decreases the throw length of the machine. Clean using compressed air or tweezers.
Step 1
Put gear wheels (15 and 16) on each planet gear shaft (14).
Note: The two planet wheels are different: on gear wheel I (15), teeth of upper an lower gearing are aligned, while they
are displaced ½ tooth on gear wheel II (16).

Place ball retainer w. balls (5) around stem (11).
Step 21
Place stem nut (12) around the stem (11) and tighten the stem nut (12) into the body (1) (right hand thread). IMPORTANT: No
lubricants and lock tight to be used. (It may be necessary to lift the stem (11) a little while turning the stem nut (12).

Step 22
Place O-ring (23) around the stem (11).
Step 23
Insert planet gear assembly into stem (11) and into the gear ring (7). NB: it may be necessary to wiggle the machine a little to
get the planet gear assembly to fall in place.
Step 24
Insert O-ring (22) into the O-ring groove on top of the stem (11).
Step 25
Insert impeller assembly into the planet gear assembly – rotate the impeller (19) by hand to ensure that it rotates freely. (By
hand support the body (1) of the machine to aid the rotation).
Step 26
Mount guide (25) onto top of stem (11) (and the O-ring).
Step 27
Insert O-ring (22) into the O-ring groove on top of the guide (25) (right hand thread).
Step 28
It is recommended to slightly grease the thread with food grade/FDA compliant grease. The grease reduces the risk of galling in
threads. The grease is enclosed between O-rings and, therefore, it will no come into contact with the cleaning media.
Step 29
Mount the cone (24) over the guide assembly and catch the thread
on the stem (11) and tighten the cone (24) on to the stem (11).
NB: make sure O-rings are in the O-ring grooves. NB: Wet the
surface of the O-rings with water to ease the assembly. Tighten
to metal-to-metal stop.
Step 30
Insert gasket (30) into top part of cone (24).
Step 31
Remove the assembly from the bench vise.
Step 32
Mount nozzle w. gaskets (27) into the hub (3). NB: Make sure
O-rings are in the O-ring grooves. E.g. use a finger to push O-ring
in guide back in place while fastening the cone.NB: Wet the
surface of the O-rings with water to ease the assembly. Tighten
to metal-to-metal stop – torque of 70 Nm. IMPORTANT: No
lubricants and lock tight to be used.
After reassembly check if the turbine rotates freely using an 8 mm socket wrench at the top of the turbine and turn it
anticlockwise, while holding the machine by the cone. The hub with nozzles should rotate very slowly.

Foreign material or material build-up Insert socket wrench on top of turbine shaft and easily turn turbine shaft anticlock-
wise. If any resistance is recognised, disassemble machine to localise cause.
a). Impeller jammed Remove turbine shaft assembly and planet gear assembly (see page 21) and
remove foreign material.
b). Turbine shaft sluggish in bearing Remove turbine shaft assembly (see page 21) and clean bearing.
c). Planet gear jammed/sluggish Remove foreign material from planet wheels and internal gears. Check rotation
of planet wheels. If restriction is recognised, disassemble Pplanet gear assembly
(see page 21) and remove material build up, especially on shafts and bushes in
planet wheels.
d). Stem or hub jammed/sluggish Remove planet gear assembly (see page 21). Turn hub and check unrestricted
rotation. Remove stem and hub (see page 21 ff). Remove foreign material/mate-
rial build-up on stem, hub and inside nut. Clean Ball races and ball retainer with
balls. Assemble stem/hub, ball retainer with balls and stem/hub nut.
e). Bevel gears jammed Remove stem and hub (see page 21 ff). Clean teeth on stem and hub.
