CIP - Tank Cleaning Equipment
ICS & AWH - Tank Cleaning Excellence
ICS represents AWH in the UK and Republic of Ireland offering a comprehensive range of static and rotating tank cleaning equipment.
AWH, a major supplier and manufacturer of stainless components is considered a world class leader in the supply of tank cleaning equipment.
This combined with ICS's experience in the world of spray nozzles, tank cleaning and associated filtration equipment offers customers a complete technical solution to their tank cleaning requirements
The product range includes, static spray heads, rotating spray balls, rotating spray heads and jet cleaning heads amongst other configurations.
The tank cleaning equipment, can either be bought or hired and demonstrations and trials are available to prove the effectiveness and suitability of the correct spray head for your application.
In addition most of the AWH range can be offered with ATEX ratings
| Static nozzles | |
| The static spray ball has proven its effectiveness as a economic purchasing option for small vessel cleaning Typical applications are simple tasks at low pressure, ranging between 05. and 3 bar. For considerable contamination, provided that rotating spray heads or jet heads are not necessary, the use of a spray ball with an all round spray angle of 360° is recommended. For a lower degree of contamination, we recommend a 180° spray head that applies the cleansing agent to the upper area of the vessel. This allow the cleansing agent to flow down the vessel sides, rinsing the lower areas. In addition any internal equipment and the resulting "shadow" areas have to be taken into account. These shadow areas could require installation of an additional spray head |

| SSH |
Low pressure spray balls with different spray coverage. |
| TW Series |
The static TW tank washing nozzle has a clog-resistant spiral design that produces a unique bidirectional spray pattern. |
| Rotating Spray Heads Reliable cleaning results due to the droplet impact on the vessel walls. The rotating head should be operated at pressure no greater than 10 bar and ideally around 3-4 bar pressure. The relatively low pressure encourages the spray head to revolve at a speed that creates the larger droplets required for effective impact. |
|
| SC |
Used in the cleaning of vessels and will operate when submerged under the residue in the bottom of a vessel. |
| TE |
This self cleaning and self rotating nozzle is to be used in the cleaning of tanks and vessels and operates in a vertical plane. |
Rotating Spray heads - Surge Cleaning
Tanko® S - Family are media driven rotating cleaning heads offering potential savings, excellent cleaning results and product safety.
AWH's state of the art design and their quality of manufacture ensures these excellent vessel cleaning results required in today's process and manufacturing industries.
The design's broader and accurate slits create consistent and a large percentage of virtually round droplets.
| S10 |
The smallest of the range. Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 0.8mtrs 306 dgr coverage only. |
| S20 |
The smallest cleaning head with all the standard of spray coverage. recommended maximum cleaning diameter 1 mtr. |
| S30 |
Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 2 mtrs. All spray angles and a "standard" model. |
| S40 |
Another "standard" rotating head, with the option of the S40 HF - high flow model. Re commended maximum cleaning diameter 4 mtrs. |
| S50 |
The largest of the rotating heads with a maximum recommended cleaning diameter of 6 mtrs. |
Tanko® RB - Family unites the well known features of a static spray ball with the advantages of a rotating spray head.
Owing to the spray ball rotation large quantities of cleansing agent are spread homogenously onto the inner surface of your containers/vessels in the shortest time.
The results are a considerable reduction of cleansing agent consumption and cleaning duration.
Even in the unlikely case of rotating failure, the cleaning function of the now static spray ball is maintained.
Typical applications include low pressure usage, which does not require a jet cleaner, but higher flow rates than the Tanko® S cleaning heads.
The double bearings permit any fitting position required.
| RB30 |
Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 1.5 mtrs. |
| RB40 |
Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 2.5 mtrs. |
| RB64 |
Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 3 mtrs. |
| RB90 |
Recommended maximum cleaning diameter 5 mtrs. |
| Tanko® R64T combined with two S30 offers an option of installation, for areas which are hard to access. The R64T - S30 heads rotate on a vertical axis, with each giving up to 360 degree coverage |

Rotary Jet heads
Larger vessels and tanks, or products that are difficult to remove may require a rotary jet head.
These powerful rotating jet heads, are designed to give the most effective cleaning mechanism of all the tank cleaning equipment. The jet nozzles give a high impact cleaning effect, whilst keeping the cleaning media to a minimum, making these cleaning heads effective and cost efficient.
These may be self-driven by the cleaning media, the JM100,500 and 800; or have an external drive mechanism, the JX range, depending upon the application. In addition the RT self-retracting spray head gives the opportunity to clean areas normally difficult and restricted.
We at ICS will advise on the correct cleaning head to meet your requirements.
| JM 100 is a 360° coverage jet head. Its compact design allows the installation of the JM100 into tanks with only DN100 flanges. Constructed for optimum cleaning results this self cleaning jet head offers high impact performance combined with low consumption. | |
| JM 500 gives a 360° coverage. High impact performance and an excellent flow rate gives the jet head the ability to cope with most tank cleaning applications. | |
| JM 800 is ideal for larger tank applications or "difficult" products which need to be removed. The slow rotation of the jet nozzle system, combined with different nozzle selection provides these qualities. | |
| Tanko® RT is the answer to reach those difficult areas created by internal equipment, baffles etc located in vessels. This is ideal when used in conjunction with other jet cleaners or rotating heads. The Tanko® RT sits externally with the spray head flush with the internal wall. The spray head is extended into the vessel by the pressure of the cleaning media and then retracts on completion of cleaning process. Uniquely a variety of flow rates are available. Additionally the Tanko® RT can be installed where a smooth internal wall is required during processes. Applications include duct work and process vessels including spray drying towers. For more technical information please refer to the AWH catalogue. |

| JX jet cleaning heads external drive units. Efficient, economical with high cleaning power, low cleaning media consumption the JX gives the best optimisation of your cleaning process due to the adjustment of the rotation/cycle time. | |
| JX 70 Max. vessel diameter 2.0 mtrs. Pressure from 2-60 bar. | |
| JX 75 Max. vessel diameter 10 mtrs. Pressure from 2-35 bar. | |
| JX 80 Max. vessel diameter 16 mtrs. Pressure from 2-35 bar. | |
