General Function Description
The item numbers shown in brackets refer to the
Picture 7.5-1: TANKO-CP2 design
and the
Picture 7.5-3: TANKO-CP3 design
The cleaning agent enters the device at the connection cover (4, 5 for CP3) and flows into the inside of
the device through the drilled holes in the inflow disk (1). The fluid arrives at the shaft (2) there and sets
it into rotation.
The fluid flows down on the outside of the shaft (2) and then through side holes in the shaft (2) into the
inside of the shaft, and from there into the cleaning head (8, 9 for CP3). From there, the fluid passes
through the spraying holes in the cleaning head and back out again.
The cleaning head is connected to the shaft using a cotter pin (9, 10 on CP3). The rotation of the shaft
is transferred onto the cleaning head directly by the cotter pin.
The long drilled holes in the cleaning head ensure that the cleaning jet is concentrated in the optimum
manner. The slow rotation and powerful impact of the cleaning jet removes even stubborn soiling from
the container wall. The cleaning jet follows a linear path on the container wall. The spreading of the
cleaning jet and the arrangement of the spray holes in the cleaning head ensure good cleaning.
Leakages on the cleaning device and the drilled hole which points upwards on the spraying head are
used for self-cleaning of the device.
Depending on the requirements, devices with different spraying angles are available.
Cleaning times:
–
If the entry pressure is 3 - 12 bar (44 - 174 psi), the average rotary speed of the TANKO-CP is
2 - 30 rpm.
–
Deviations of 10 - 15 % in the rotation speed are a feature of the design.
–
With spontaneous pressure build-up, a run-in period of 2 – 4 minutes must be added to the cycle
time.
–
The rotation speed of the cleaning head can be varied using a plug (10, 11 for CP3) in the middle of
the inflow disk (1). As standard, the device is supplied without a plug screwed in. The plugs are
provided loose with the device.
–
The device rotates at its slowest rotation speed. If you want the device to rotate faster, screw a plug
with a hole into the central hole in the inflow disk. The smaller the hole in the plug, the faster the
cleaning head turns. It turns fastest if the closed plug (without a hole) is used.
Reducing the hole diameter in the bypass plug also reduces the flow rate in the device.
–
The time for one cleaning cycle depends on several factors, and must be defined individually by the
operating company.
Sample applications for jet cleaner type TANKO-CP:
Tanks, silos, barrels, containers, pipes, dryers, centrifuges, agitators, vacuum tanks, spraying towers,
container washing plants, fermenters, filters, mixing containers and horizontal dryers.
