Jet Cleaner TANKO-MX
The rotation of the circulating bevel gear wheel around the axis of the fixed bevel gear wheel and the forced rotation around its own axis generates the orbital rotary movement of the nozzles around the cleaning head. The different number of teeth on the bevel gears causes the nozzle position to shift with each revolution of the cleaning head. A cycle is complete when the nozzles are back in their exact initial position after a certain number of revolutions. The orbital movement of the jet creates a closed cleaning pattern on the surface of the container. The mesh size of the pattern depends on the number of teeth on the bevel gears, the number of nozzles and the distance from the container wall. The jet-blast principle of the nozzles concentrates the cleaning agent, generating a high-energy jet. The mechanical cleaning effect depends on the outlet speed, the mass and the angle of impact of the cleaning agent. The intensive cleaning jets dislodge the adhered deposits from the container wall, rinse them off at high speed and discharge them. Very good cleaning results can be achieved using the jet cleaner for soluble substances and if the appropriate jet cleaner is selected for the respective container size. Differently sized devices, variations of head sizes, nozzle quantity and the nozzle bore are available to suit the specific requirement and the size of the container.
Sample applications for jet cleaner type TANKO-JM: Tanks, silos, barrels, containers, pipes, dryers, centrifuges, agitators, vacuum tanks, spraying towers, container washing plants, fermenters, filters, mixing containers and horizontal dryers.
Comment on the Cleaning Process The result of a cleaning process with the device, like all other cleaning processes, depends on multiple parameters. According to the “Sinner’s circle” definition, the four most important parameters for cleaning are: • Chemicals (cleaning agent and product and its concentration) • Mechanics (removal of dirt, establishment of contact with the cleaning agent) • Temperature and • Time (application time of the cleaning agent and duration of the cleaning process). All four factors are interdependent and variable in their magnitude in relation to each other. The desired cleaning results can only be achieved with a well-balanced combination of pressure, flow, application time, temperature and cleaning agent.
