An automated IBC cleaning system relies on a consistent supply of clean water delivered at the correct flow rate and pressure. Your current system uses a high‑performance rotary jet cleaning head, which is designed to operate at a medium pressure of 5 bar with a flow rate of 58 litres per minute. This ensures efficient, high‑impact cleaning inside the IBC.

Required Flow Rate and Pressure

The system requires:

- A flow rate of 58 litres per minute

- A fluid pressure of 5 bar

These parameters allow the rotary jet cleaner to maintain full rotational performance and deliver complete internal coverage. The system is supplied with a pump configured to meet these exact requirements, although it can also be operated using a suitable on‑site pump that can deliver the same 5‑bar pressure at 58 l/min.

Water Quality Requirements

To ensure the cleaning head performs correctly and does not become clogged, the water supplied to the system must be free from grit, debris or other contaminants.
Dirty water can block the nozzles, disrupt spray patterns and ultimately lead to ineffective cleaning. For this reason, filtration is essential wherever contaminants may be present in the supply.

Summary

As long as the cleaning system receives:

- Clean, filtered water

- A supply of 58 l/min

- At a pressure of 5 bar

- From either the supplied pump or a compatible on‑site pump

…it will operate correctly and provide a thorough, automated clean of an IBC tote.
