Automatic Tank Cleaning Equipment Suppliers

Product highlights of automatic tank cleaning equipment:

• Robotic arm with 5 degrees of freedom – reaches manway necks, agitator blades, and bottom outlets

• Adaptive path planning – laser profiler maps the tank before each wash for optimal trajectory

• Reduces effluent volume by 50% – precise nozzle placement minimizes rinse water

• Cuts labor requirement from 4 to 1 – one technician supervises multiple stations

• 24/7 operation capability – automatic tool changer for different nozzle types

• CE and ATEX certified – suitable for Zone 2 hazardous atmospheres

Core technologies of automatic tank cleaning equipment:

The system employs an electro-pneumatic robotic manipulator mounted on a retractable mast. A 2D LiDAR sensor scans the tank interior through the manway, generating a point cloud that the PLC converts into a nozzle path. Cleaning follows a four‑step recipe: (1) cold low‑pressure rinse (20 bar) to wet surfaces; (2) robotic hot caustic spray (70°C, 150 bar) with oscillating motion; (3) robotic acid spray (50°C, 120 bar) for neutralization and passivation; (4) final deionized water rinse followed by heated compressed air drying (80°C). Pressure sensors on the nozzle detect impact force and adjust traverse speed to maintain consistent cleaning intensity. All parameters are recipe‑controlled and stored with a timestamp for quality audits.

System composition of automatic tank cleaning equipment:

• Robotic manipulator – 5‑axis, stainless steel body, IP65, integrated hose guide

• High‑pressure pump unit – 300 bar, 25 L/min, ceramic plungers, PTFE packing

• Chemical delivery skid – three 100L tanks (caustic, acid, rinse additive) with level sensors

• Inline heater – 12 kW electric, PID control, over‑temp protection

• Control cabinet – Siemens PLC, 12‑inch HMI, emergency stop, light tower

• Nozzle quick‑change rack – stores three nozzles (flat fan, full cone, rotary)

• Drying blower – 300 m³/h, heated, with HEPA filter and dew point monitor

• Exhaust adapter – flexible duct connection with flame arrester
