Tecpro Chemitorus Teflon tankwasher

The Chemitorus tankwasher from Tecpro is a low-flow, low-pressure tankwasher designed for use in small vessels, pipes and other difficult applications that previously required manual cleaning.

The Torus range is compact enough to be mounted inside pipework and is claimed to be powerful enough to replace standard spray balls and wash heads in larger vessels.

According to the company, the simple rotating-disc design gives complete coverage for a strong-impact burst rinse without wasting water.

Constructed from 100% Teflon, the Chemitorus is reportedly lighter and more resistant to chemicals than standard stainless steel. Tecpro claims the product provides similarly high standards of hygiene and durability to stainless steel.

Available in 180° and 360° wash patterns, the tankwasher is able to operate with a flow rate as low as 8 L/min and a pressure of 0.5 bar. It reaches a maximum wetting radius of 2 m and a cleaning radius of 1 m with a pressure of 2 bar and a flow rate of 20 L/min.

This can minimise water and effluent costs as well as reducing WHS risks associated with manual cleaning or high-pressure applications.

No spare parts are required and, according to the company, the combination of Teflon and the low-wear design means the tankwasher will require minimal maintenance over its lifetime.

It is easy to operate, simply screwing onto a 3/8″ BSP F connection. It has a rated maximum operating temperature of 95°C and an ambient temperature of 145°C.
