Breconcherry Tornado high-flow jetting tank washer

Available from Tecpro Australia, the Breconcherry Tornado is a high-flow jetting tank washer designed to provide high-impact jets for difficult-to-clean products such as yeast, glue and resin.

The Tornado produces two highly focused jets that move around the tank in a spiral pattern to provide 360° coverage. The mechanism is driven entirely by the cleaning fluid, with geared movement to maintain an optimum jet peripheral velocity that maximises jet impingement and chemical dwell times.

Suitable for large and very large vessels, including brewing tanks, mixing vessels and chemical reactors, the product has a seven-minute wash cycle, which can minimise downtime. The unit’s lower flow rates conserve water and can reduce the cost of chemicals and effluent disposal.

The unit has only 48 parts in total and a basic spares kit consisting of 10 parts, making it easy to maintain. Its backwash nozzles blast clean any remaining product on the body of the cleaning head, reducing wear and tear and helping to ensure hygiene regulations are met.

Carbon PTFE bearings eliminate the contamination risks associated with the wear and tear of standard ball bearings. Lightweight and compact, the unit has a 1.5″ BSP connection and requires a minimum manhole/flange opening of 210 mm for unit insertion.

At a pressure of 10 bar and a flow rate of 360 L/min, the unit has a cleaning radius of 13.5 m. It is suitable for working temperatures up to 95°C and ambient temperatures of up to 140°C.
