General Function Description
The jet cleaner of the TANKO-MX series is a cleaning device design with an internal actuator.
The materials of the device are stainless steel and plastic. The bearings do not require additional
lubrication as they are flushed with cleaning agent during operation and thus simultaneously lubricated
and cooled.
The actuator unit is driven by the cleaning agent which flows through it. The cleaning agent flows from
the media connection, through a flow-in disk and into the device and drives the impeller which is solidly
connected to a rotor shaft.
The cleaning head is connected to the actuator unit in such a way that the generated torque is
transmitted directly onto the integrated bevel gear unit.
The gear unit comprises one fixed bevel gear wheel and one circulating bevel gear wheel.
The circulating bevel gear wheel drives the nozzle carrier (with nozzles).
The rotation of the circulating bevel gear wheel around the axis of the fixed bevel gear wheel and the
forced rotation around its own axis generates the orbital rotary movement of the nozzles around the
cleaning head.
The different number of teeth on the bevel gears causes the nozzle position to shift with each revolution
of the cleaning head. A cycle is complete when the nozzles are back in their exact initial position after
a certain number of revolutions.
