BACKGROUND
Brand reputation extends far beyond a finished product. It is reflected in the care taken at every stage of production, including the unseen details that safeguard quality, consistency and trust.
For a luxury paint manufacturer [holding a royal warrant], quality is not confined to colour charts or finished tins on a showroom shelf. It is embedded into every stage of the production process and every detail reflects the brand’s promise of excellence. From the sourcing of raw ingredients to the manufacturing of the finished product, nothing is left to chance and paint mixing kettle tanks must therefore meet the same exacting standards as every other element associated with the brand.
SITUATION
The manufacturer contacted SNP to trial a cleaning in place (CIP) solution for its kettle tank cleaning, wanting to ensure every vessel was clean before new batches were mixed in line with the precision, care and prestige associated with its name.
In line with its broader sustainability goals, the manufacturer sought a solution that not only upheld strict quality standards but also reduced water consumption and minimised waste of caustics.
SOLUTION
The Orbitor Eco is a tank cleaning head designed to meet the high standards required by clients across a range of industries, including manufacturing, food processing and chemical production. It combines high-performance cleaning efficiency with an extended operating life and reduced lifecycle costs.
The Orbitor ECO is a rotary jet cleaning head which excels at high-precision cleaning to remove even the toughest residues from tank walls, using different cleaning fluids such as solvents, caustic or hot water up to 93°C. The powerful jets are also able to dislodge even tough residues fromhard-to-reach areas of a tank.
