TANKO® RF_IOM_Rev0

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.
