Typhoon Jetting Tank Washer

Available from Tecpro Australia, the Typhoon Jetting Tank Washer with rotating cleaning head is suitable for large vessels, including food and beverage storage tanks, transport containers and chemical reactors.

The tank washer produces four high-powered jets that give complete coverage in a seven-minute wash cycle. Even at high flow rates, the geared movement maintains an optimum jet peripheral velocity that increases impingement and chemical dwell times to maximise cleaning effectiveness.

According to the company, the machine’s efficient wash cycle reduces downtime and saves on water and effluent costs. Constructed of only 48 parts, which can be dismantled and reassembled in minutes, the machine is supplied with a basic repair kit of 10 parts.

The external design and self-cleaning backwash nozzles reduce wear and tear and improve hygiene by ensuring product cannot settle on the cleaning head. Carbon PTFE bearings improve performance and reduce contamination risks associated with wear and tear of traditional ball bearings.

Weighing 3.1 kg, the compact tank washer has a 1″ BSP connection and requires a minimum manhole/flange opening of 110 mm for unit insertion. At a pressure of 10 Bar and a flow rate of 225 L/min, the washer has a cleaning radius of 9 m and a wetting radius of 17 m. It is suitable for working temperatures up to 95°C and ambient temperatures of up to 140°C.

A suitable replacement for large spray balls, the Typhoon is suited to use in the food and beverage, brewing, pharmaceutical, chemical, coatings and transport industries.
