ATEX Spray Pan Washers
Thorough cleaning and decontamination of mixing pans are crucial to prevent cross-contamination and maintain consistent product quality. Our Rotajet pan washers provide a reliable solution, cleaning both the interior and exterior of vessels in an ATEX-safe environment.
ATEX Pan Washing Solutions
Rotajet manufacture Pan Washing machinery in compliance with ATEX safety regulations. This means that our machines are suitable to process a wide range of contaminations from paints to chemicals.
These machines typically use a heated alkaline detergent to wash the vessels. After caustic washing the vessels are then rinsed with water and flash dried to be put back into production. This ensures a thorough high standard clean in preparation to be re-used for a new batch of ink, paint or product to be mixed.
How does the Vessel washer operate?
These machines are designed to be easy to operate while delivering fantastic results. Load, Clean, Dry.
First, the contaminated vessel is wheeled or loaded onto the Rotajet PW1500 vessel washer. Following that the operator then closes the interlocked safety door. This allows the vessel to be raised into the cleaning position and also closes and seals the door for safety.
- Initial Wash: A heated alkaline detergent (65-70°C) is used to remove surface contaminants. The typical cycle time for standard paints and inks is around 10 minutes. For stubborn contaminants, specialized chemicals like butyl, glycols, or dibasic esters can be added to enhance cleaning performance.
- Solution Filtration and Reuse: The used wash solution is filtered and returned to the 2000-liter storage tank for reuse, promoting sustainability and cost-efficiency.
- Water Rinse: After the wash cycle, the machine automatically rinses the vessel with clean water to remove any remaining detergent residue.
After the wash and rinse cycle, the extraction fan on the Rotajet vessel washing machine engages and the vessel flash dries. The vessel is automatically lowered and the operator removes the clean dry vessel and replaces it with a contaminated one, and starts the cycle again.
