Cleaning of barrels, drums, wheelie bins or waste containers

葛罗宁根 Cleaning Systems provides industrial cleaning installations that tilt and clean the interior of various types of trolleys, wheelie bins and barrels.

Once a trolley is emptied, it is driven into the machine, where it is automatically tilted and cleaned on the inside. Here, a rotating washer nozzle is used to quickly and effectively clean a container or two wheelie bins at a time.

Systems are available with various features and options which can be designed to suit specific needs. Additionally, operators have a choice of various cleaning programs with different cleaning times.

For open head barrels and drums, different systems and washer nozzle techniques are needed.

Because of the impact on the design of the cleaning installation, barrels should be split into drums and open head barrels.

Drums (fixed lid with 2 openings) are put in the installation on a rack or mobile frame at an angle, after which the washer nozzle is placed in the barrel. Thanks to a unique quick hitch system the nozzle doesn’t slip from the drum during the cleaning process.

Barrels (loose lid) are placed upside down on a rack or on a mobile frame and held in place with a clamp. A horizontally and vertically rotating washer nozzle then cleans the barrel with hot or cold water to ensure optimal cleaning results. The waste water is then discharged to the sewer or treatment plant.

For both systems, the design of the installation is catered towards the challenges encountered in the cleaning process. 葛罗宁根 Cleaning Systems draws on its existing knowledge and experience to propose different types of customised solutions.

葛罗宁根 offers systems that are suitable for the following containers:

• 140, 240 liter minicontainers – wheelie bin (KAM system, lifted from top)
