Dry Cleaning of Containers Without Long Downtime
If containers are contaminated with product residue, wet cleaning followed by drying can prolong the production process. The AZO cleaning station enables the automatic dry cleaning of containers and vessels using compressed air. For suitable applications, this eliminates the need for separate wet cleaning and drying, allowing cleaned containers to be returned to production more quickly.
Automatic internal cleaning, even with small inlet openings
The foldable cleaning unit first retracts into the container in a compact configuration and only unfolds fully once inside. There, the cleaning nozzles rotate along the container walls and blow away adhering product residue. This allows even containers with small inlet openings to be cleaned. The cleaning unit, which can be adapted to the container’s geometry, also enables the cleaning of various rotationally symmetric containers.
Dust-Free Cleaning with Central Vacuum System
During cleaning, compressed air and the vacuum system are coordinated to create a slight vacuum inside the container. Product residues are loosened from the container walls and fed through the extraction hopper to a central filter station. The dust-tight docking prevents cleaning dust from escaping into the surrounding area. This reduces dust exposure for operators and in the work environment.
Flexibly Automate the Cleaning Process
The cleaning cycle runs automatically according to predefined parameters, and its duration can be adjusted depending on the degree of soiling. Containers can be fed manually using a forklift or automatically via a roller conveyor or chain conveyor. Different levels of automation make it possible to integrate container cleaning into existing production and material flow processes.
