Tank cleaning heads

When industrial tank and container cleaning demands efficiency, safety, and complete coverage, automated tank cleaning heads provide the optimal solution for eliminating manual washing processes. Emiltec offers a comprehensive range of professional rotating cleaning heads designed to automate washing operations while maximizing effectiveness and operator safety across food, chemical, and processing industries.

Advanced rotating technology for complete orbital coverage

Tank cleaning heads represent sophisticated equipment capable of achieving complete orbital coverage of internal surfaces that would be impossible or dangerous to reach with traditional manual washing lances. Through precision-engineered spray nozzles, these rotating heads produce systematic 360-degree coverage, ensuring thorough cleaning of every internal wall section while operators remain safely outside the container.

Multiple propulsion systems for diverse applications

Emiltec's tank cleaning head collection features three distinct propulsion technologies to meet varying operational requirements. Electric rotating heads utilize electric motors to drive nozzle rotation, offering reliable performance for IBCs and medium-sized tanks with pressures up to 250 bar. Self-propelled rotating heads incorporate internal turbines and planetary gearboxes that harness water pressure to generate rotary motion, eliminating external power requirements while delivering pressures up to 500 bar for demanding applications. Cleaning heads with ceramic rotating gaskets provide high-speed rotation capabilities up to 2000 rpm, ideal for automated washing systems in car wash gantries and container cleaning installations.

Optimized performance with reduced water consumption

Unlike low-pressure systems requiring extremely high water flows, Emiltec's tank cleaning heads achieve superior results with moderate flow rates compatible with common pressure washers. Operating effectively at pressures around 100-120 bar with flows from 15 to 200 liters per minute, these systems deliver ecological cleaning solutions that conserve significant water quantities while maintaining exceptional washing effectiveness.

Specialized solutions for every tank size

From compact barriques requiring inlet holes as small as 40mm to large industrial containers, Emiltec offers tank cleaning heads precisely sized for your application. Electric rotating cleaners designed for IBC washing feature reduced overall dimensions allowing insertion through 45mm to 86mm diameter openings, while high-capacity rotating heads handle flow rates up to 200 liters per minute for medium-sized tank operations. Self-propelled models equipped with planetary gearbox systems provide the power necessary for removing resistant deposits including industrial paints.

ATEX certification for hazardous environments

Safety remains paramount in industrial cleaning operations. ATEX certification is available upon request for all rotating heads offered by Emiltec, ensuring compliance with regulations governing equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This critical certification addresses the stringent requirements of food and chemical industries where tank cleaning occurs in hazardous environments.

Italian engineering expertise and technical support

Emiltec's experienced commercial staff provides comprehensive technical guidance for selecting the correct rotating head according to tank type, size, and contamination characteristics. Our Italian manufacturing heritage ensures precision engineering and quality construction in every tank cleaning head, delivering reliable performance throughout demanding industrial applications.
