Gamajet Tank Cleaning Systems Acquired by Alfa Laval

Gamajet Cleaning Systems, Exton, Pa., USA, this past week was acquired by Alfa Laval, creating a new company known as Alfa Laval Tank Equipment Inc. The new company will operate as Gamajet Cleaning Systems and will remain in Exton. Robert Delaney, Gamajet's longtime president, has been appointed president of the new company.

Gamajet is a provider of tank cleaning machines and systems. Alfa Laval is a global provider of heat transfer, centrifugal separation, and fluid handling systems. The acquisition of Gamajet will expand Alfa Laval's product portfolio, especially within the industrial sector, as well as its positioning in North America. Alfa Laval's existing line of tank cleaning equipment, Toftejorg, has been absorbed by the new company for North America. Sales, support, and service of the Toftejorg equipment will be handled at Gamajet's Exton office.

Delaney noted that "as part of Alfa Laval, the pursuit of providing the highest level of product quality and personalized service will be strengthened and enhanced with the most complete tank equipment portfolio available in the market. The entire Gamajet team is looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We are all very proud to be a part of Alfa Laval."

For over 50 years, Gamajet has been supplying a "Better Way to Clean" all types of tanks and vessels. Gamajet's rotary impingement cleaning method has become the first choice in cleaning for many of the world's largest breweries, food manufacturers, trucking fleets, personal care and pharmaceutical manufacturers, wineries, oil and gas field service operations, and chemical operations.

Gamajet's rotary impingement tank cleaning machines combine pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point in which the concentrated stream impacts the surface. It is this impact and resulting tangential force that radiates from that point and blasts contaminants from the surface, scouring the tank interior. In conjunction with this impact, the Gamajet is engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable and reliable, 360-degree pattern. This full-coverage, global indexing pattern ensures that the entire tank interior is cleaned.
