Consumption Data and Operating Pressure for the Cleaning Process:
The specified values for consumption in the charts are average values and may fluctuate by
approx.
10% in normal operation. They apply to operation with clear water as the cleaning medium
at a temperature of +25 °C / +77 °F. The values may differ if a different cleaning medium is used and
if the temperature is different.
The consumption of cleaning fluid in TANKO-RT/-RTS devices depends on multiple factors, e.g. the
pressure of the cleaning fluid and the size of the spray openings. An increase in pressure leads to
increased consumption (throughput). The permitted range for the operating pressure of the cleaning
medium must be adhered to.
The recommended operating pressure for the device is 3 - 5 bar (43.5 - 72.5 psi g).

Using multiple TANKO-RT/RTS units also allows cleaning of larger container diameters. However, the
ignition hazards depending on the cleaning medium due to electrostatic charge set out in
Section 3.3
must be observed.
