Mini retractor system TANKO-RF
Built-in Safety Systems The built-in safety devices used by the higher-level plant in which the device is installed are to be checked at regular intervals. WARNING Dangerous situations arising from changing or disabling safety devices! Only functioning safety devices can ensure safe operation and prevent inadmissible operating conditions. Changing or disabling safety devices can result in unpredictable and dangerous situations. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury. • Disabling the safety devices or changing the way they work is strictly prohibited.
2.1 Intended Use
DANGER
Risk of injuries from fire/explosion when using the device in an explosive atmosphere! Use of the device in an Ex area (potentially explosive atmosphere) is PROHIBITED, UNLESS the device is expressly intended for said purpose! There is a risk of death or severe physical injury. • Follow the information on the type plate of the device (see Section 2.5.2 Type Plate) and the relevant operating instructions.
WARNING
Risk of hazardous situations caused by use other than the intended use and/or other types of use of the device! There is a risk of death or severe physical injury. • Only use the device as intended. – Only use the device in accordance with the specifications contained in these instructions and the specifications on the device's type plate. – All specifications in these instructions must be adhered to at all times. – Always keep the operating instructions at the location where the device is used. – Keep all signs on the device in legible condition. – Only use original spare parts. • Modifications or conversions of the device are NOT permitted.

WARNING
Danger from incorrect use of materials/media! The materials/media to be used for operation of the device as intended are procured and utilized by the owner of the device. If unsuitable materials/media are selected, strong chemical reactions could result in fatal injury or severe physical injuries. • The proper selection and handling of these materials/media is the sole responsibility of the owner. • When selecting the materials/media, make sure that the permitted technical parameters of the device are NOT exceeded. • The cleaning agents and media must be approved for all of the materials of the device (e.g. washers, bushings) and for the substances in the container to be cleaned which come into contact with them. • Adhere to the specified chemical limits for use in the material data sheets. • Adhere to the safety data sheets provided by the manufacturers of the materials and media, in particular for hazardous substances: – Comply with the hazard and disposal instructions. – Set out protective measures and compile operating instructions for hazardous substances. – This also applies to hazardous substances that may develop during work processes.
Refer to the order confirmation/parts list from AWH for the materials used in the device. The device is used for the interior cleaning of containers with and without installed equipment. The small TANKO-RF design was developed for use in small containers and for pipelines.
The option of using retractor systems is useful, particularly in situations where there is little space available for a cleaning device, due to projecting agitators or other installations, or where critical products prevent permanent installation the device.
For the purpose of these instructions the word container refers to closed tanks, silos, barrels, containers, pipes, etc. that are provided with an outlet that ensures a free flow of the supplied cleaning medium. When using the device, it is necessary to distinguish between the following operating states. Operating State - Cleaning Process (Cleaning > Cleaning head extended > Cleaning medium is sprayed)
• Pressure in the container: 0 to 0.5 bar (0 to 7.25 psi g) • Temperature of the cleaning medium: +5 °C to +95 °C
• Ambient temperature in the container to be cleaned: +5 °C to +95 °C • Ambient temperature outside the container to be cleaned: +5 °C to +40 °C
18/84
Operating/Installation instructions 2023/09
2 Safety
Mini retractor system TANKO-RF
Operating State – Idle Position (NO cleaning > cleaning head retracted) • Pressure in the container: 0 to 6.0 bar (-14.5 to 87.0 psi g) • Ambient temperature in the container to be cleaned: -20 °C to +130 °C (O-ring material EPDM) -15 °C to +140 °C (O-ring material FKM or FFKM) • Ambient temperature outside the container to be cleaned: -15 °C to +40 °C
The device was developed, engineered and built exclusively for industrial and commercial use (food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and low-germ processes). It must not be used for private purposes. The device is designed so that it can be operated safely within the specified technical parameters (see Section 3.3 Technical Data ). Locations for containers in which the device is to be installed are usually closed spaces. In different setups, the owner must ensure the protection of the device from harmful weather and environmental influences while maintaining the specified application limits/conditions (see Section 3.3 Technical Data ). In the process, the following must always be observed: • Only operate the device when installed in a closed container. • Never direct the cleaning jet or torrent from the device at persons. • Protect the device from freezing (e.g. risk of frost from possible residual water). • Use a suitable filter system in the cleaning medium supply line. • Only operate the device only the approved parameters (see Section 3.3 Technical Data ). If necessary, appropriate monitoring and limiting systems (e.g. for pressure and temperature) must be used. • Only cleaning media that are compatible with the materials of the device (see section 3.4 Cleaning Media ) • The preferred installation position for the device is vertical with the cleaning head pointing downwards. Other installation locations (see Section 5.2.2 Installation Position ) are possible.
Non-Intended Use The device is NOT suitable for the following applications: • The device is NOT suitable for private use. • The device is NOT suitable for use outside containers. • Holding the device with your hand during operation is PROHIBITED. • Use in explosive atmospheres is prohibited.
• The device must NOT be immersed in the product of the production process (NOT even partially). This could cause the product to penetrate the device. The spray holes/slots may become blocked. The free movement of the actuator could be obstructed. • The device must NOT by operated with gases (e.g. air) over a long period, as the cleaning medium is used for lubrication of the bearings. • Operation with cleaning agents that can generate an explosive atmosphere when sprayed is prohibited This device is intended exclusively for the purpose outlined above. Any other use beyond that described here or any conversion of the device without a written agreement with the manufacturer is considered IMPROPER use.

The manufacturer accepts NO liability for damage arising from such improper use. The owner bears the sole risk. The device must not be put into operation until it has been assured that all the safety equipment is in full working order and the plant in which the device is installed meets the safety requirements of all relevant European directives (e.g. the Machinery Directive).
2.2 Spare Parts, Replacement Parts and Accessories WARNING Risk of damage, malfunction or complete failure of the device!
Incorrect or faulty spare/replacement parts and accessories will put the functional safety and reliability of the device at risk. The failure of components or a device malfunction can
cause material damage and consequential damage. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury. • Only use the manufacturer's original spare parts.
We expressly draw attention to the fact that spare parts and accessories NOT supplied by AWH have NOT been checked or approved by AWH. The installation and/or use of such products could therefore, under certain circumstances, result in changes with negative results to the properties of the device specified by its design and the higher-level plant. AWH is not liable for any damage arising from the use of non-original parts or non-original accessories.
