AutoJet Technologies, a division of Spraying Systems Co., has introduced an upgradeable tank cleaning system that is precisely controlled to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency. The four basic components in the AutoJet Tank Cleaning System are: a Spraying Systems Co. tank washer or tank cleaning nozzle, a control panel containing an AutoJet Spray Controller, a specially selected pump and an engineered process control package. The system is field upgradeable to add both chemical injection and liquid recirculation features to automatically maintain consistent tank cleaning results.

“The key to designing an effective tank cleaning system is selecting the right tank washing nozzle and then building a system around it,” said Dave Foley, vice president of AutoJet Technologies. “As a division of Spraying Systems Co., we have a complete line of tank cleaning nozzles to suit a customer’s needs and our turnkey systems offer a state-of-the art controller that increases productivity and decreases maintenance downtime.”

The AutoJet Tank Cleaning System is built around the Model 2250 AutoJet Spray Controller and is powered by patent-pending Spray Logic™ software. Multiple cleaning cycles and multiple tank wash routines can be initiated with push button control. The controller provides an operator interface that allows easy programming and adjustment of settings such as liquid pressure and flow rate. The AutoJet Spray Controller monitors the system and can be programmed to shut down on specified faults.

With chemical injection and liquid recirculation upgrades, the AutoJet Tank Cleaning System offers greater flexibility than most automated tank washing systems. Accurate chemical injection can greatly improve the consistency and effectiveness of the wash. AutoJet Systems can also be equipped to recirculate liquid in a closed loop, allowing the reuse of a portion or all water and cleaning chemical solutions. Less water and chemical usage means lower disposal costs.

The AutoJet Tank Cleaning System features multistage centrifugal pumps up to 160 gpm (605 1/min) at 175 psi (12 bar). Piston and plunger pumps, single stage sanitary pumps and single-stage ANSI chemical pumps are also available. The process control package includes 24VDC diaphragm and globe valves, spring loaded ball cone check valves, pressure switches, pressure regulators and liquid strainers.
