Thorough, Consistent and Efficient Tank Cleaning Options to Avoid Contamination

To maintain product integrity and avoid cross-contamination, FDA validation protocol for tank washing provides guidelines for duration and frequency of cleaning cycles, impact, cleaning chemicals and liquid temperatures. All of these factors are better controlled, more reliable and more repeatable with automated tank cleaning. By decreasing production downtime and labor costs, automated tank cleaning or CIP systems can save up to $50,000 per tank annually compared to costs for manual cleaning.

Our spray products for tank cleaning feature:

  • A variety of flow rates and pressures to achieve the required impact
  • Durable materials that withstand harsh cleaning chemicals
  • Sanitary, threadless pin connections
  • Rotating and fixed designs
  • Sanitary lances

Sanitary Features Meet 3A CIP Standards

With sanitary pin connections and self-draining surfaces, the 28500R tank wash nozzle, meets 3A standards for clean-in-place applications. Rotational velocity varies with fluid pressure. The 41800E tank wash nozzle also meets 3A standards for CIP but maintains constant rotational speed. Both are excellent for rinsing and cleaning medium-sized tanks. Fixed Spray Balls are commonly used in CIP systems because they have no moving parts and require minimal maintenance. Due to their low impact and ability to withstand harsh chemicals, they are best-suited for final rinse or sanitation applications.

Reduce Water and Chemical Use with High-Impact Cleaning

The AA190 Tank Washer uses two to four high-pressure, solid-stream nozzles rotating on a motor-driven gear hub to aggressively clean stubborn residues from tanks up to 80 ft. in diameter.

For complete tank wash assemblies, we can fabricate lances to meet your exact specifications. Customize lance diameter, thickness and length, connectors, materials of construction and more.

Verify and Validate Operation of Tank Cleaning Nozzles

SprayCheck TW Monitoring Devices documents performance and provides alarms to alert operators to problems. The complete system includes an acoustic sensor, monitor and diagnostic software. It’s easy to install with audible and visual alarms to notifty operators when changes are detected.

  • Eliminates post-cleaning tests and/or visual verification of tank cleaning nozzle operation
  • Provides detailed documentation of tank cleaning nozzle performance for validation purposes
  • Diagnostic tools quickly reveal problems such as changes in rotation speed and frequency, spray loso, nozzle cloggging and pressure variation to facilitate troubleshooting and problem solving
  • Suitable for use with pressurized and non-pressurized tanks of all sizes and configurations
