Are you worrying about the right option for your SPRAY Balls? Rest easy; you have us.
Here, we not only explore the differences in the design and discuss applicability but also weigh the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision. Keep reading to learn more!
| Criteria | Dynamic Spray Balls | Static Spray Balls |
| Design | Dynamic spray balls have multi-nozzles attached to the rotating head to distribute the cleaning solution in multiple directions when they rotate. | Static Spray balls have multiple holes/nozzles strategically placed around the ball to create a 360-degree spray pattern. |
| Movement | The Dynamic spray balls rotate during the operation, enabling them to cover a larger area and clean them more effectively. | The Static Spray balls do not rotate during the operation. |
| Movement dependency | Dynamic spray balls use a low-volume, high-pressure spray. The nozzles spin and rotate to direct powerful jets of spray across all surfaces inside the tank, providing a more intense and thorough clean. | Static Spray balls use a high-volume, low-pressure spray to clean. Most of the cleaning power comes from the spray running down the tank’s walls and surfaces, covering everything as it flows. |
| Efficiency | The rotational motion allows for a more uniform and thorough cleaning action as they can direct cleaning solutions at various angles. | In comparison to dynamic spray balls, static spray balls cover less area. |
| Time Required | Requires less time to meet the desired levels of cleanliness. | Requires more time than Dynamic spray balls and may require manual scrubbing to achieve the expected cleanliness levels. |
| Sustainability | The dynamic spray balls consume less water and are efficient at cleaning. | The static spray balls consume more water for cleaning and may not be as efficient as dynamic spray balls. |
| Initial Cost | The dynamic spray balls are expensive due to their rotating mechanism and more complex construction. | Since static spray balls have a more straightforward design, they are cheaper than dynamic spray balls. |
| Maintenance Cost | The rotating parts of the dynamic spray ball can wear out over time and may require frequent inspection and repair, which adds more costs. | They do not have any moving parts, so these are low-maintenance spray balls. |
| Sensitivity | They are more sensitive to pressure changes and require pressure sensors to monitor the pressure continuously. | They are not very sensitive to pressure changes, so the pressure need not be constantly monitored. |
| Applications | Dynamic Spray balls are best suited for large-sized vessels where high levels of cleanliness and sanitisation are required. | Static Spray balls are well-suited for small tanks, pipes, and areas requiring less intensive cleaning. They can be used where the geometry of the equipment allows for effective cleaning without any rotating head. |
| Customisability | Due to their rotating heads, the dynamic spray balls offer comprehensive customisation options. You can choose spray patterns and angles and adjust the rotation speed and pressure settings. | There are limited options for customisations for spray patterns. You can choose different hole sizes or spray angles. |
TSA- The Best CIP/SIP system manufacturers
Mobile CIP/SIP Skid by TSA Process Equipments
At TSA, we understand the critical role of CIP/SIP systems in maintaining a clean, contamination-free manufacturing environment. Our solutions ensure that process vessels, their associated piping all along the transfer path, valves, instruments, hoses and filtration skids are meticulously sanitised to prevent cross-contamination from cell debris, media, residue from previous batches and cleaning agents.
Our technology offers static or dynamic spray balls with temperature, time duration, and spray concentration to deliver a thorough cleanse.
Besides the option to choose between static and dynamic spray balls, other customisation options include:
1) With or without
- tank CIP system
- Hex
- dosing system
2) One/two
- tank CIP
- pump design
3) Centralised CIP and local recirculation skids
4) Combo CIP + SIP system

FAQs
- Can both static and dynamic spray balls be used in the same tank?
In some cases, using both types in the same tank is possible depending on the cleaning requirements, but this is less common. Usually, one type is selected based on the nature of the residue, tank design, and cleaning specifications.
- How do I choose between a static and dynamic spray ball?
The choice depends on factors like residue type, tank design, water usage restrictions, cleaning frequency, and budget. Dynamic spray balls are better for high-residue or high-efficiency needs, while static spray balls suit lighter cleaning tasks.
- Can both static and dynamic spray balls be used in CIP systems?
Yes, both types are compatible with CIP systems, with the choice depending on the specific application’s cleaning needs and efficiency requirements.
- Which spray ball type is more suitable for tanks with small openings?
Static spray balls are typically easier to install in tanks with smaller openings because they lack moving parts and are more compact. Dynamic spray balls may require slightly larger openings to accommodate their rotating mechanisms.
- Can spray balls be retrofitted to switch between static and dynamic types?
In some cases, spray balls can be retrofitted, but this depends on the tank design and compatibility with the existing CIP system. Consulting with a CIP expert like TSA can help determine the feasibility and requirements for retrofitting.
