3. General Description
The Scanjet BIO 10 is a media driven and lubricated tank cleaning machine. No
lubrication substances as oil, grease, etc. are used. All materials in contact with
the machine meet the general standards for hygienic processes. Ceramic and
tungsten bearings are standard for an extra long service life. The unique design
of the BIO 10 makes it completely self-cleaning and self-draining. There are no
interior pockets where water and dirt can accumulate, making this machine one
of the best choices for hygienic applications.
Functional Principle
When cleaning media enters the machine it fi rst passes through a turbine and a
worm gearbox, then a nozzle housing leading it out through 4 nozzles into the
tank. The turbines rotation drives the worm gearbox, making the machine rotate
around its own axle and at the same time, the nozzle housing is forced to rotate
clockwise.
A combined motion of the machine’s body and nozzle housing creates a criss-
cross cleaning pattern inside the tank. After 6 1/8 rotation of the nozzle housing,
a fi rst course pattern has been created inside of the tank. This process is repeated
8 times, each time indexed from the other until a full cleaning pattern has been
created. When this is fi nalized after 47 rotations of the machine body, or 49
rotations of the nozzle housing, the fi rst cycle will be repeated.
Cleaning of tanks is a process depending on a number of factors; soilage, distance
between nozzles and tank walls, cleaning agent, temperature etc. All of these
factors need to be considered before a proper cleaning can be accomplished.
The rotation speed of the machine depends on fl ow rate through the machine.
Higher fl ow rate makes the turbine spin faster and because of this the machine
is equipped with different turbines depending on nozzle size and intended
operating parameters.
