Speedy tank cleaning using less water

Anew tank washing nozzle made from PTFE which delivers a slow-moving, high impact spray action against internal surfaces of tanks and vessels for effective removal of scum rings, or tougher residues, has been introduced by BETE. The HydroWhirl Poseidon tank washing nozzle is suited to cleaning and wash down applications in food and beverage industries, general processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The nozzle benefits from a simple, yet innovative head design, which provides reliable flow-through of water and cleaning solutions through a rotating head at the tip of the assembly. The combination of the spray pattern and the impact with a slow and nearly constant speed rotation, is said to result in a targeted, highly effective cleaning action which quickly breaks up and washes away contamination, even for stubborn residues.

The nozzle is designed for 360° omni-directional coverage and requires lower pressures and, says the company, therefore uses less water than conventional static tank washers.

It is also designed for quick and easy disassembly, inspection and reassembly using basic hand tools, so downtime is minimised.
