When reviewing cleaning processes for industrial vessels and storage tank equipment, it is important to consider factors such as contamination, product quality to meet today’s strict market standards. Many processing facilities are operating at maximum production levels and looking to improve their efficiency when it comes to minimising downtime in cleaning of process machinery and storage tank equipment.
How to clean industrial processing and storage tank equipment in less than half the time at half the cost
OEM process machinery and storage tank equipment are commonly fitted with basic static spray balls. A static spray ball has a spherical shape with numerous 1 to 2 mm drilled holes and various inlet connections. i.e. weld, tube clipped, female threaded etc.
Inefficiencies with static spray balls
Static spray balls are commonly used for CIP processes and have many disadvantages:
- High water usage
- High chemical usage
- Inferior jet impact cleaning
- Spray droplets creating a ‘mist’ before impacting target surface
- Clogging of nozzle orifices / holes due to recirculation CIP process
- Hot and cold washing of tank wall surfaces
All of the above lead to longer CIP times, increased water, chemical usage and more importantly inferior cleaning of tank wall surfaces to avoid cross contamination, hence possible re-cleaning of process machinery and storage tank equipment. Re-cleaning of equipment may occur on numerous occasions throughout the day, week, month or year.
Quality rotary tank cleaning nozzles can significantly reduce water, chemical, time and money
A quality rotating tank washing head has two or more nozzles creating high impact solid liquid jets, scouring inner tank and tote interiors in a repeatable, reliable, 360-degree pattern, successfully delivering clean tank interiors allowing new batch processing after initial CIP. This can take less than half the time, thus using less water, chemical and time versus current methods, contributing to an increase in overall productivity and large savings with water, chemical and energy over the year.
