NOZZLES FOR BOTTLE, DRUM, AND TANK WASHING Manual No. 105.2TW

Choosing the Best Nozzles Important Design Features to Consider When Choosing the Best Nozzle for Your Washing Needs Adequate coverage and effective scrubbing are of prime importance in bottle, drum, and tank washing. Choosing from the variety of nozzles, both stationary and rotary can be confusing. In selecting BETE nozzles you should consider the following vessel characteristics and nozzle design criteria: size and shape of vessel to be cleaned; vessel opening; type of material to be removed; and spray coverage. Size and Shape of Vessel to be Cleaned BETE’s tank washing nozzles can be...

for Bottle, Drum and Tank Washing Type of Material to be Removed Another concern in choosing the correct nozzle should be the viscosity and the tenacity of the material to be removed within the vessel. Sticky viscous substances require greater scrubbing. This is most often accomplished with high impact sprays.* For high impact scrubbing a rotary nozzle, the RTW or ScrubMateTM, will provide greater cleaning power if the vessel is not too large (see chart, on right). Less viscous material can be removed by washing and rinsing with lower impact, finer sprays. Liquids such as: fruit juices,...

Stationary Tank Washing Nozzles cooling and fume absorption • Best rinsing performance moderate sized vessels CLUMP series • Symmetrical spray make them more suited to short tanks, full 360° washing • Very large free passage • Rinsing of containers under used in narrow- necked container rinsing omni- directional spray. The spray is relatively low impact, with individual spray cones producing good rinsing in tar- geted areas. Typically the LEMs perform This series, as well as the CLUMP series, creates sym- metrical spray, "a wet puff- ball," and is best suited to tanks whose width exceeds...

HydroWhirl Poseidon spray nozzles for quick, efficient tank cleaning The HydroWhirl Poseidon tank-washing nozzle directs the cleaning water through a rotating head at the tip of the spray assembly. This produces a slow-moving, high-impact spray action against internal surfaces of the tank. The HydroWhirl Poseidon nozzle head uses impact and repetition to quickly break up and wash away contamination. The combination of the spray pattern and slow rotation of the HydroWhirl Poseidon tank-washing nozzle is especially effective at removing scum rings or tougher, stuck-on material. Poseidon™...

slotted rotating quick, efficient tank The HydroWhirl™S nozzle directs the cleaning water through a rotating w head at the tip of the spray assembly. This produces a vigorous moving spray action against all areas of the walls of a tank. The spray pattern from the HydroWhirl S head uses impact and repetition to quickly wash the tank. This spray pattern is especially effective at breaking up and removing contaminants. rotary spray nozzle. • Cleans more quickly, but uses less water and lower pressure than static tank washers • Lower flow and pressure mean smaller pump size resulting in lower...
