Tank cleaning systems
SNP provides a complete range of nozzles and cleaning systems for cleaning tanks such as food processing tanks, large tanks, storage tanks, stormwater attenuation tanks (or storm basins) and everything in between, including IBCs.
For a comparison of the main types of CIP heads, see our videos below. For answers to the most common questions about tank cleaning/CIP, watch the videos below or read our tank washing FAQs here.
Any environment and any residue
Our wide range of tank and tank washing systems is not only suitable for different tank sizes, it is also designed to handle all kinds of residues.
We have hygienic, self-cleaning systems suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical production and other applications. We also have systems capable of treating fluids loaded with particles such as sludge or oils, ATEX certified systems and finally, we can offer systems operating in very aggressive environments such as in acid tanks.
Regardless of the environment, the size of the tank and the residue to be cleaned, we have the appropriate cleaning system. Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your individual project.
Our tank cleaning products can be classified into 4 main categories: static/fixed nozzles, static spray balls, rotary balls/spinners and rotary jet cleaners. Click on the Brochure icon top right to download the full brochure.
Portable cleaning solutions for IBCs and small tanks
We also offer a system to easily clean IBC totes, making in-house cleaning quick and efficient. Our IBC cleaning solution includes a pump with control panel, lance, lids and a fast-cycle cleaning head, the Orbitor Eco, plus feed kit and outlet hose for a super fast cleaning cycle of under 10 minutes. For more details, click the IBC icon below or here.
For small-medium tanks, the base kit above (without the IBC lid/adaptor to attach the kit to the tank) can be used with the Orbitor Compact rotary jet cleaning head to provide a versatile CIP system for cleaning a range of process tanks. Ideal for facilities with a number of tanks where it is not cost effective or practical to have fixed CIP nozzles in place in each tank.
