In industrial production, tanks or containers are often used to store, transport, or process various liquids or gases. As these substances may leave sediment, dirt, bacteria, viruses, etc., regular cleaning is necessary to ensure the tanks or containers are clean, hygienic, safe, and to avoid possible pollution or danger.

Benefits of Tank Cleaning
Ensuring Product Quality

Residues and impurities in tanks or containers can affect the quality of the medium during production, thereby affecting the quality and stability of the final product. Regular cleaning ensures the tanks or containers are clean and hygienic, ensuring product quality consistency.

Improving Production Efficiency

Residues and impurities in tanks or containers can reduce the fluidity and transmission efficiency of the medium, affecting production efficiency. Regular cleaning ensures the tanks or containers are open, improving production efficiency and capacity.

Ensuring Work Safety

Tanks or containers may contain harmful gases, corrosive substances, etc., which may pose a threat to workers’ health. By using robots or automated cleaning systems, harmful substances can be removed, ensuring work safety.

Extending Service Life

Residues and impurities in tanks or containers can accelerate corrosion and wear, affecting their service life. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the service life of tanks or containers, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Why Are Valves Important In Tank Cleaning?
Valves are an essential component of tank cleaning and have several important roles, including:

Controlling Flow

During the tank cleaning process, liquids need to flow out of the tank. Valves can regulate the flow rate to ensure even distribution of liquids in the pipeline, preventing excess or insufficient liquid flow.

Pressure Regulation

Liquids need to be transported to various devices or processes during tank cleaning. Valves can control the pipeline’s pressure to maintain smooth liquid flow.

Cutting off Pipelines

During tank cleaning, pipelines may need maintenance or replacement. Valves can shut off the pipeline’s fluid flow, allowing safe maintenance and replacement operations.

Preventing Contamination

Poor valve safety measures during tank cleaning may lead to pipeline or environmental contamination. Valves can effectively control pipeline fluids, preventing contamination.

Extending Equipment Service Life

Valves are frequently used during the tank cleaning process. Low-quality valves may cause pipeline wear or leakage, shortening equipment service life. Good valves can ensure pipeline safety, providing security for equipment service life.

Valves Needed For Tank Cleaning
Ball Valves

Ball valves are commonly used and have simple structure, flexible operation, and good sealing performance. The ball in a ball valve can rotate to control the flow and direction of the medium, making it suitable for regulating and shutting off the medium flow in tanks or containers.

Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves are lightweight, structurally simple, and easy to maintain. They are suitable for situations with large medium flow and small pressure drops. The valve plate of a butterfly valve can rotate to control the flow and direction of the medium, making it suitable for regulating and shutting off medium flow in tanks or containers.

Check Valves

Check valves prevent medium backflow and have simple structure, flexible operation, and good sealing performance. Check valves prevent cleaning fluid from flowing back into tanks or containers, preventing pollution and danger.

Knife Gate Valves

When there is sludge or sediment in tanks, knife gate valves are needed. They are used to control pipelines with mud or fluid containing a large amount of suspended solid particles, and have features such as anti-blocking, wear resistance, and reliable sealing.

Control Valves

Control valves are used to adjust medium flow and pressure, with complex structure and high precision. Control valves can adjust the flow and pressure of cleaning fluid.
