In 1973, URACA was the first company in the world to launch a 3-D cleaning head. It revolutionized cleaning of the interior of tanks and enabled efficient and automatic cleaning of reactors, tanks and autoclaves without the need for people to get in. Downtimes of plants can be reduced thanks to the cleaning process.
The URACA tank cleaning heads can be operated with high flow rates at a high operating pressure of up to 1,600 bar. An extensive range of accessories and options completes the URACA range.
Advantages of URACA tank cleaning heads
easy assembly and disassembly
pressure seals with a long service life
compact exterior dimensions and low weight
suitable for areas subject to explosion hazards
low contamination tendency of the smooth housing surface
high corrosion and temperature resistance
adjustable, wear-free and encapsulated magnetic brake
optionally available for long or compact rotors
extremely low flow resistance
extremely quiet even when using freely suspended on the hose
Use of tank cleaning heads
High-pressure pumps from URACA generate the cleaning jet required for the hydrodynamic cleaning process. High-pressure water flows via a pipe or hose to the tank cleaning head positioned inside the container to be cleaned. It works either freely on a hose from above or via a high-pressure pipe vertically or horizontally in the container. The partially or fully automatic positioning by means of a special device is possible.
The degree of soiling determines the design of the tank cleaning head and the cleaning parameters such as operating pressure, flow rate, rotor speed and cleaning time.
