Bete's Hydrowhirl Performs Tank-Cleaning Duties

The Hydrowhirl Orbitor from Bete is designed for high-performance clean-in-place (CIP) tank cleaning in industries such as food, brewing, beverage, dairy and pharmaceuticals. The Hydrowhirl device has a minimum number of moving parts and can be completely stripped and rebuilt onsite in less than 15 minutes. This optimum serviceability eliminates the time-consuming maintenance overhauls associated with other types of rotary tank-cleaning devices.

Hydrowhirl is also self-cleaning and self-lubricating so the possibility of process contamination is eliminated. Its compact design allows it to be fitted through small, restricted access flanges. It is suitable for large tanks (up to 130ft in diameter) often found in the food, dairy, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, where high-performance cleaning with reduced cycle times and low water, energy and chemical consumption are important considerations.

The range includes 10 standard models and options include two or four nozzles, variable cycle times, male and female connections, 360deg wash pattern, 180deg down and up wash patterns. Typical applications include food and dairy for raw milk storage, spray driers, process and storage vessels, beverage and brewing, for process vessels, bright beer tanks, coppers and maltings and in chemicals, coatings and paints manufacture, for process and storage silos and mixers.
