Tank washing systems are a key part of many laboratories, manufacturing facilities and industrial setups. The tanks may need to be washed in order to responsibly store or dispose of them. They may also need to be washed before they are refilled. Here are some tips on choosing the right new machine to wash your tanks.
Easy to Operate
It is important to find a tank washer that is easy to operate. Cleaning tanks can be a chore, and the more automated processes that the machine offers, the better. A nearly or fully automated washing system for tanks also reduces the work hours that it takes in order to do this task. An easy-to-operate tank washer can save you a lot of time and hassle.
Safety Enhancements
When a person must be near a washing machine for tanks, there is a chance of vapors or splashes causing an injury. Look for a machine that is set up with safety enhancements. A machine that has a lot of automated features that do not require much human intervention will also keep people safer. Safety enhancements such as automatic shutoff switches, pressure check valves and ground fault protectors are also important.
Conservation of Resources
Look for a machine that conserves resources when it washes tanks. Today’s high-tech washing machines for tanks use as little clean water and detergent or solvent as possible. This not only means lower utility bills and a decrease in the cost of cleaning supplies, but it also means less environmental contamination. If your company is trying to be more environmentally friendly, this efficiency is a big plus. Look for machines that avoid brushes because those also wear out quickly.
