Introduction
This manual has been prepared as a guide for the persons who will be operating and maintaining your
tank cleaning machine. The key to long life for your tank cleaning machine will always be a system of
carefully planned maintenance; you will appreciate that a tank cleaning machine which has a rough
and dirty job to do will need more frequent attention than one working in ideal conditions.
It is in your own interest to get the best and most economical performance from your tank cleaning
machine. Neglect of maintenance means poor performance, unscheduled stoppages, shorter life and
expense. Good maintenance means good performance, no unscheduled stoppages and better total
economy.
You will find the information contained in this manual simple to follow, but should you require further
assistance, our Customer Service Department and world-wide net of Distributors will be pleased to
help you. Please quote the type and serial number with all your enquiries; this will help us to help you.
The type and serial number are placed on the Body of the tank cleaning machine.
Note: The illustrations and specifications contained in this manual were effective at the date of printing.
However, as continuous improvements are our policy, we reserve the right to alter or modify any unit
specification on any product without prior notice or any obligation.

General Description
The Toftejorg MultiJet 40 is a media driven and media lubricated tank cleaning machine. As it is self-
lubricating, there are no lubricating substances such as oil grease etc. in the machine which need to be
regularly changed.
Functioning
The flow of the cleaning fluid passes through a guide and a turbine, which accordingly is set into
rotation. The turbine rotation is through a gearbox transformed into a combined horizontal rotation of
the machine body and a vertical rotation of the nozzles.
The combined motion of the machine body and the nozzles ensures a fully indexed tank cleaning
coverage. After 5 5
/8revolutions of the Hub with nozzles (5 3 /8revolutions of the machine body) one
coarse cleaning pattern is laid out on the tank surface. During the following rounds, this pattern is
repeated 7 times, each of which is displaced 1/8 of the mesh in the pattern. After a total of 45 revolutions
of Hub with nozzles (43 revolutions of the machine body), a complete cleaning pattern has been laid out,
and the first pattern is repeated.
First cycle Full pattern
The speed of rotation of the turbine depends on the flow rate through the machine. The higher the flow
rate the higher the speed of rotation will be. In order to control the RPM of the machine for a wide
range of flow rates, the efficiency of the turbine can be changed (100% and 0% Turbine/Inlet guide).
Apart from the jet flow through the nozzles, fluid is leaking through the top of the machine, at the hub
and through the bottom cover. The leakage between the moving parts at the top and at the hub are
cleaning the gabs and thus preventing build-up of material that might cause the friction. The flow
through the bottom cover is due to the fact that the machine is media lubricated and that accordingly a
flow through the gearbox is needed.

Installation and Normal Operation
General Installation Instructions
The tank cleaning machine should be installed in a vertical position (upright or upside down). It is
recommended to install a filter in the supply line in order to avoid large particles to clog inside the
machine. Before connecting the machine into the system, all supply lines and valves should be flushed
to remove foreign matter.
For devices with tapered thread connections to the down pipe, it is recommended that you secure the
connection in a manner appropriate for the application. Subject to the intended use environment and
any inhouse user requirements or policies, an adhesive such as Loctite No. 242 or equivalent could be
used. Other methods could be acceptable and subject to customer preference.
Note: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 shall be CE-marked.
Warning:If the machine is used in potential explosive atmospheres, tapes or joint sealing
compounds which are electrical insulators must not be used on threads or joints, unless
an electrical connection is otherwise established to ensure an effective earthing. In
addition, connecting pipe work must be electrically conductive and earthed to the tank
structure. The resistance between the nozzles and the tank structure should not exceed
20,000 Ohm.
This is essential to avoid the build-up of static electricity on the machine.
For further information see CENELEC R044-001 Safety of Machinery, guidance and
recommendations for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity.
The machine as delivered has been tested at the factory before shipping. For transportation reasons,
the nozzles have been removed prior to shipment. Before installation and use, the nozzles should be
attached and secured appropriately for the application intended.
Check that the machine is in operating condition by inserting hex Screwdriver (tool No. TE134A) in
screw in top of Turbine shaft and easily turn Turbine shaft clockwise. If any resistance is recognised,
the machine should be disassembled to localise the cause.

Installation and Normal Operation (Continued)
Normal operation
Cleaning Media
Use only cleaning media compatible with Stainless Steel AISI 316 and 316L, Tefzel 200, Viton, Teflon
TFM, ACO212CF and PEEK. Please note that PEEK is not resistant to concentrated sulfuric acid.
Please note that Viton is not resistant to a number of organic solvents as esters, ethers and ketones.
Normal detergents, moderate solutions of acids and alkalics will be acceptable. Aggressive chemicals,
excessive concentrations of chemicals at elevated temperatures as well as hydrochlorides should be
avoided. If you are in doubt, contact the local Alfa Laval Tank Equipment sales office.
After Use Cleaning
After use flush the machine with fresh water. Cleaning solutions should never be allowed to dry or set-
up in the system due to possible "salting out" or "scaling" of the cleaning ingredient. If cleaning media
contains volatile chloride solvents, it is recommended not to flush with water after use, in case this can
create hydrochloric acid.
Pressure
Avoid hydraulic shocks. Put on pressure gradually. Do not exceed 12 bar inlet pressure.
Recommended inlet pressure appears from Technical Data (page 6-7). High pressure in combination
with high flow rate will increase consumption of wear parts.

Maintenance and Repair
Preventive Maintenance
In order to keep your tank cleaning machine servicing you as an efficient tool in your tank cleaning
operations, it is essential to maintain its high performance by following a simple preventive
maintenance programme, which will always keep your tank cleaning machine in good condition.
Good maintenance is careful and regular attention!
The following recommended preventive maintenance is based on tank cleaning machines working in
average conditions. However, you will appreciate that a tank cleaning machine, which has a rough and
dirty job to do, will need more frequent attention than one working in ideal conditions. We trust that you
will adjust your maintenance programme to suit.
Always use only proper tools. Use standard tool kit. Never force, hammer or pry components together
or apart. Always perform all assembly/disassembly steps in the order described in this manual.
Never assemble components without previous cleaning. This is especially important at all mating
surfaces. Work in a clear well lighted work area.
Every 300 working hours
1. Disassemble machine as described on the following pages.
2. Clean material build-up and deposits from internal parts with Scotch-brite, S-Ultrafine, eventually
chemical cleaner and fine abrasive cloth.
3. Check Slide bearings (pos. 28 on the cross sectional drawing, page 33) for wear. If hole is worn
oval to max. diameter more than 10.4 mm, Slide bearings should be replaced. If end face of Slide
bearing is worn more than x mm into Slide bearing, it should be replaced.
Under Turbine shaft : x = 1.5 mm
At Horizontal shaft : x = 0.5 mm
4. Check Collar bushes (pos. 10) in Gear frame. If holes are worn oval to max. diameter more than
13.4 mm, Collar bush should be replaced. How to replace Collar bushes, see page 22.
Note: Timely replacement of Slide bearings and Collar bushes will prevent costly damage to the
gear box.
