Tank and Equipment Cleaning Nozzles
Lechler nozzles for tank and equipment cleaning are economical, reliable, and proven over time.
Types of Tank Cleaning Nozzles
Static spray balls
Static spray balls do not rotate, so they require a comparatively large amount of liquid in order to generate turbulent flow. They are used primarily for washing down relatively small tanks and vessels.
Free spinning
The cleaning fluid drives the spray head by means of specially positioned nozzles. The rapidly repeated impacts remove the soil and rinses it from the tank surface. This results in optimum cleaning efficiency at low pressures in small to medium-sized tanks.
Controlled rotation nozzles
The rotating head is driven by the fluid. A turbine wheel with an internal gear is used to control the rotation. This ensures that the speed remains in the optimum range even at higher pressures. The droplets produced are larger and strike the tank wall at higher speed. These rotating cleaning nozzles achieve an even higher impact which is especially important for larger tanks.
Gear controlled
The cleaning fluid drives an internal gear by means of a turbine wheel so that the spray head rotates by two axes. The solid jet nozzles mounted on the spray head produce powerful jets. These jets sweep the entire tank surface in a pre-programmed, model-specific pattern during a spray cycle. This requires a certain minimum time. These models generate the highest impact and are therefore ideal for very large tanks and the toughest cleaning tasks.
Specialty tank cleaning and accessories
There are several accessories that Lechler's tank cleaning nozzles can be adapted to.
