IBC Container Washer

IBC Container Washer

This container washer has a continuous washing system for cleaning IBC containers.

The containers are loaded manually on a conveyor belt and moved to the washing unit. The position of the emptying flap is queried by means of sensors and if it is in the correct position, it is fed to the wash cycle. The washing system is interrupted if there are too many containers on the conveyor.

Course of the washing cycle:

1. Controlled “opening / closing” of the emptying flap
2. Start of “floor and flap cleaning” via washing nozzles built into the floor of the system. During the cleaning process, the flap is moved back and forth over the emptying mechanism to ensure thorough cleaning.
3. Retraction of the motor-driven washing head for interior cleaning and Rinse aid. Exterior cleaning / rinsing via permanently installed nozzle bars in the cabin.
4. During the process, the container is attached to the beam by means of a turntable turned over.
5. Retraction of the motor-driven drying head fed by a high-pressure fan with electric heating. 
6. Activation of the vapor extraction and opening of the system exit door.
7. The washed container is discharged using activated conveyor belts to the extraction point. 
8. Manual removal of the cleaned container.
9. The cycle of the container washing system is interrupted as soon as there is a washed container in the system and on 2 containers at the removal point, or no container on the Infeed buffer belt.
