Introduction to the Orbitor 100 Tank Washing Machine

This document is the Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual,

also known as the Product Manual, for the Orbitor 100 Tank Washing

Machine (TWM). These machines are supplied for use in the marine,

industrial, and food processing industries.

Component Names

For part numbers and names see the Maintenance Manual section starting

on page 20. The figures shown throughout the manual are typical of a 4

nozzle machine. These examples may not directly resemble the machine

supplied but are fundamentally the same in construction and part

materials.

Operation Principles

The basic tank cleaning process is achieved by impinging high impact

cleaning fluid jets on the inner walls of the vessel. The TWM action moves

the jet nozzles in a spiral pattern that ensures correct and even coverage

of the vessels surfaces through a washing cycle.

The flow of the cleaning fluid drives the machine causing the spherical

body and nozzle head to rotate. There are no other power sources, control

systems or electrical devices. The mechanism is self-lubricated and

internally self-cleaned by the cleaning fluid. Three small fixed jets wash the

machine exterior. The Orbitor 100 TWM can be used with pressures as

low as 45 psi (3 bar) due to a very low starting torque.

Cleaning Fluids

Orbitor 100 TWMs are capable of resisting most cleaning fluids provided:

•

They contain no

–

Solid abrasive particles

–

Chemicals liable to attack the TWM construction materials. See

materials list below.

•

Temperatures specified in Operating Conditions are not exceeded

Approved cleaning fluids:

•

Water at a temperature below 200 °F (below 95 ◦C)

•

< 5 % NaOH caustic soda solution

•

Other cleaning fluids can be used with advice of BETE

Construction Materials

Component Material

Nozzle head, nozzles and inter-

nal parts unless specified below

316L stainless steel

Body shell Kolsterised 316L stainless steel

Gears PEEK

(PVDF or other materials available

by special order)

Seals PTFE, 10 % carbon filled

Seal seats Ceramic coated

Bushings PTFE, carbon filled

Ball bearings / race Kolsterised 316 stainless steel

Duplex 2205 steel (hardened)

Please note – Do not use any chemicals on the TWM while cleaning

that might affect the integrity of the non-metallic component parts. If

in doubt contact BETE for advice.

Performance Table

Tables 1 – 4 show total water flow, total jet length (effective cleaning may

vary based on application), and typical cycle time for various nozzle

configurations and sizes at different pressures.

Quick Wash or Rinse

The cycle times defined in the above table are for a full wash cycle.

Wash cycles can be repeated as many times as necessary. The TWM can

also be stopped after one pattern generation for a quick rinse.

Installation, Mounting, and Washing Fluid Connection

Correct installation of an Orbitor 100 TWM is the responsibility of the tank

owners, constructors, or installers. Mounting and connecting is a

straightforward task for a competent fitter or technician.

BETE is happy to offer technical support and recommendations upon

request but does not normally carry out installation work and cannot be

responsible for ensuring correct installation practice or application.

TWM machine installation - key points:

•

Machines will be positioned in the tank to permit the best cleaning jet

coverage of walls, floor and tank cover.

•

The cleaning pattern required and selection of flow and jet length

depends on:

–

Tank dimensions.

–

Properties of the stored product residue.

–

Available flow and pressure.

•

The axis of rotation of the spherical main body is along the axis of

the inlet.

•

The axis of rotation of the nozzle head is perpendicular to inlet axis

— see Fig. 3).

•

Machines will normally be mounted to the tank top cover and project

down.
