Spray Ball

Q: What is a spray ball used for?

A spray ball is used to clean the inside of tanks and vessels by spraying cleaning fluid across the internal surfaces during a CIP (clean-in-place) cycle. It removes product residue, films and bacteria hygienically without dismantling the tank or sending anyone inside, making it essential in food, beverage, dairy, brewing, pharmaceutical and chemical processing.

WR Products supplies 316 stainless steel slip-on spray balls for cleaning the inside of tanks, vessels and process equipment. Available in 40mm, 50mm, 63mm and 90mm ball sizes with full, top and bottom spray patterns, they mount straight onto your CIP line and wash the internals of a vessel without dismantling it or sending anyone inside.

What is the difference between a static and a rotary spray ball?

A static spray ball has no moving parts and sprays continuously through fixed, precisely drilled holes, giving reliable, low-maintenance coverage for most standard tanks. A rotary spray ball spins under fluid pressure to produce a higher-impact jet, which suits larger or heavily soiled vessels. Static slip-on spray balls handle the majority of routine tank-cleaning duties.

What spray pattern do I need: full, top or bottom?

Choose based on where the tank needs cleaning. A full spray ball (360°) washes the entire interior and is the right choice for most general tank cleaning. A top spray ball (180° upward) targets the upper walls and the underside of the lid, while a bottom spray ball (180° downward) focuses on the lower walls and base. If in doubt, full spray gives the most complete coverage.

What size spray balls do you stock?

We stock 40mm, 50mm, 63mm and 90mm ball sizes with slip-on connections for 18mm, 25mm, 38mm and 50mm tube. Hole sizes are 1.6mm or 2.5mm depending on the model. See the specification table above for part numbers and radius of action.

What material are your spray balls made from?

All our spray balls are made from 316 stainless steel. The 316 grade offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suited to hygienic and washdown environments, including food, beverage, dairy, brewing, pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

How do I size a spray ball for my tank?

Sizing depends on your tank’s diameter, your CIP pump’s flow rate and the available supply pressure, plus the spray pattern you need. As a general guide, a single static spray ball suits small-to-medium vessels, while larger tanks may need a higher flow rate or multiple spray balls for full coverage. Send us your tank dimensions and CIP setup and we’ll recommend the correct unit.

What pressure do spray balls operate at?

Our radius-of-action figures are quoted at 1 bar supply pressure. Increasing pressure extends reach and cleaning impact; reducing it shortens both. Most CIP circuits run spray balls between 1 and 3 bar. Confirm your pump’s duty point against the hole size you select.
