Tank Washer TW-Series Overview
Tank Washer TW-500: Automotive Industry Solution
An automotive supplier approached SRSDE with a challenge: they needed to clean various movable tanks and totes, with sizes ranging from 18” to 60” in diameter. These containers were filled with specific resins and adhesives used in car manufacturing and were traditionally cleaned using styrene.
SRSDE’s response was the creation of the TW-500, a washer made of stainless steel and carbon, with an explosion-proof electrical rating. This machine was tailored for an inside wash and rinse. It could accommodate a large open-topped tank, thanks to a reinforced skid for added weight. The washer heads, custom-sized, could be adjusted hydraulically, enhancing the user experience.
With the TW-500, the automotive company automated their washing process, boosting productivity. They could clean 5-10 times more tanks and totes than before without hiring more staff. The investment paid off in less than six months.
Tote Washer TW-100-C: Food Distributor’s Choice
A prominent food distributor needed a solution to clean and rinse their 48” x 48” x 48” collapsible plastic tote bins. These bins required a thorough cleaning with very hot water to eliminate any leftover dirt or food particles.
SRSDE developed the TW-100-C, a unique washer that could lift and load a tote in each wash cycle, completing the process in 2-3 minutes. Made of stainless steel and electrically rated at 480/60 Hz, this washer had an insulated and heated wash sump built into its base. It enabled rapid cleaning of totes using fresh city water.
The rapid cleaning rate of the TW-100-C meant the food manufacturer didn’t need to hire more staff. Plus, the cleaned totes were returned to their clients in a much-improved condition.
Tote Washer / Tank Washer TW-500: Road Paint Manufacturer’s Solution
A company producing road paint sought SRSDE’s expertise for a washer. They had multiple tanks and totes, ranging from 18” to 28” in diameter, filled with water and solvent-based road paint. These were traditionally cleaned using a mix of MEK, Methylene Chloride, and another solvent.
SRSDE designed the TW-500, a high-pressure 600 PSI washer, suitable for their diverse tank and tote sizes. This washer could clean and rinse the interiors of these containers, effectively removing road paints that had built up over years.
The TW-500 transformed the company’s productivity. It replaced a manual cleaning process that was labor-intensive and hazardous. Now, not only could they clean daily production totes, but they also rejuvenated older totes from storage. The TW-500 improved daily operations, revitalized old totes, and enhanced worker safety.
Kettle Washer TW-500M: Tailored for a Fortune 500 Company
A leading Fortune 500 company had specific requirements for cleaning their mixing kettles, which came in sizes of 250, 500, and 1000 gallons. They needed to remove contaminants like resin, pigment, and other materials. The traditional cleaning agent was a solvent mix of xylene, butanol, and DIBK.
SRSDE crafted the TW-500M, a skid system connected to each kettle location. Made of stainless steel, this washer had a custom aluminum handheld washer head and was rated ZONE 0 (Explosion Proof) at 380/50Hz. Each kettle location had a quick hose connection for the operator to use during the wash. The used solvent and waste were pumped out from a pump on the SRSDE skid unit.
The TW-500M brought multiple benefits. It automated the kettle washing process, reduced cross-contamination, and was scalable to the company’s growing needs.
