Function
- The interior cleaner consists of a drive
unit, a support pipe and the cleaning
head. The nozzles on the cleaning head
turn around two axles and therefore
touch every place in the container.
- The cleaning head is turned by an elec-
tric or compressed air motor. The speed
is independent of the pressure and the
volume of cleaning liquid. With electric
drives, the speed can be set to con-
stant, with compressed air drives, the
speed can be adjusted via the com-
pressed air.
Safety instructions

regulations of the respective country.
- Please follow the safety instructions

dling the system or have proven qualifi-
cation and expertise in operating the
system or have been explicitly assigned
the task of handling the system.
