container through an opening with a
suitable minimum inner diameter.

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.
