IBC Cleaning Process.
- The IBC is loaded into the chamber manually using a pallet truck or forklift.
- The operator opens the lid and the drain valve. The lid cannot be cleaned in the machine.
- Once the loading door is closed and the cycle is confirmed, the selected wash program starts.
- Cleaning with recirculated water is followed by a fresh-water rinse. Disinfection can be added as an option.
- An adjustable drip time follows. Water vapor is extracted from the chamber and discharged outside through an exhaust duct provided by the customer.
- The loading door is then opened and the cleaned container is removed.
The fresh-water rinse uses hot water provided on site. The rinse-water tank can be electrically heated as an option.
