The modular tank cleaning system enables barrel-cleaning, IBC-cleaning, container-cleaning, 20ft container-cleaning, tank & silo cleaning, rail-tank cleaning and even polysilicon-cleaning. “From consultancy and planning to manufacturing, hand-over and plant maintenance, we support our customers through the entire process,” says Rajesh Wariar, Project Manager-In plant Systems, Karcher India.
Some of the end customers include dairies, sugar, salt, flour, glucose and starch producers in the food industry; lime, cement, concrete, asphalt, etc., in the construction industry; PVC, paint pigments and sulphur in the chemical industry or shipping companies, silo transport companies, concrete, asphalt and cement transport companies in the logistics industry.
These systems adhere to quality standards such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and Safety and Quality Assessment System (SQAs); cleaning certificates such as the European Cleaning Documents (ECD) have become established as standard. Safety at work is also an integral part of tank cleaning. Safety measures where there is a risk of explosion (ATEX) are just as necessary as measures for exhaust air treatment and wastewater treatment. For this, Karcher has specialised equipment which will operate safely in such conditions. With Karcher’s modular system, custom-solutions can be implemented with great benefits for the customer. Karcher has been building reliable and powerful systems for automatic cleaning of tank interiors for the last 35 years.
