Refer to the order confirmation / parts list from AWH for the materials used in the device.
The TANKO-CR is a rotating cleaning device and belongs to the group of spate cleaners. The device is
driven by the cleaning medium. The device is used for cleaning the interiors of containers with and
without installed equipment.
For the purpose of these instructions, containers refer to enclosed tanks, silos, barrels, containers,
pipes, etc., which are provided with an outlet that ensures a free outward flow of the supplied cleaning
medium.
The device was developed, engineered and built exclusively for industrial and commercial use. It must
not be used for private use.
In all cases, operating company must check whether the device is suitable for its application.
The device can be used in containers inside and outside of buildings in compliance with the limitations
for use (see section 3.3 Technical Data).
In the process, the following must always be observed:
 Only operate the device when installed inside an enclosed container.
 Never direct the cleaning jet or torrent from the device at persons.
 Protect the device from freezing (e.g. risk of frost from possible residual water).
 Use a suitable filter system in the supply line for the cleaning medium.
 Operate the device only within the approved parameters, such as pressure and temperature,
(see section 3.3 Technical Data). If necessary, appropriate monitoring and limiting systems (e.g. for
pressure and temperature) should be implemented.
 Only cleaning media which are compatible with the materials of the device (see section 3.4 Cleaning
media) may be used.
 The preferred installation position for the device is vertical with the cleaning head pointing
downwards. Other installation positions are possible (see section 5.2.2 Installation Position).
 The device may generate vibrations when cleaning the container. Any vibrations going beyond this
must be avoided (see section 7.4.1 Maintenance Intervals).
 The device is designed for fixed pipe installation only. Installation on a hose is PROHIBITED.
Unintended use
The device is NOT suitable for the following applications:
 The device is NOT suitable for private use.
 The device is NOT suitable for use outside of containers.
 Holding the device with your hand during operation is PROHIBITED.
 The device must NOT be immersed in the product of the production process (NOT even partially).
This could cause the product to enter into the device. The spray openings may become blocked.
The free movement of the actuator may be obstructed.
 The device is NOT suitable for ATEX applications.

The device is intended exclusively for the purpose outlined above. Any other use beyond that described
here or alteration of the device without written approval from the manufacturer is considered
IMPROPER use.
The manufacturer accepts NO liability for damage arising from such use. The operating company is
solely responsible for the risk.
The device must not be put into operation until it has been assured that all the safety devices are fully
functional and the plant in which the device is installed meets the safety requirements of all relevant
European directives (e.g. the Machinery Directive).
2.2 Repairs
The device must be replaced with a new one if worn or damaged. A repair is not possible.
2.3 Duties of the Operating Company
The device is used in the commercial sector. The operating company is thus subject to the legal
obligations regarding occupational safety.
In the EEA (European Economic Area), the national implementation of the Framework
Directive 89/391/EEC on carrying out measures for improving safety and protecting the health of
employees during work, as well as the associated individual directives shall be observed and complied
with in their current valid versions.
Of particular importance in this connection is Directive 2009/104/EC on the minimum specifications
for safety and health protection of employees using work equipment in their work.
As a basic rule, in Germany the Industrial afety Regulation (Betr ichV) must be observed.
In other countries, the respective national guidelines, statutes and country-specific regulations
regarding occupational safety and accident prevention must be complied with.
At the same time, the following, non-exhaustive instructions apply in particular:
– The operating company must ensure that the device is used only as intended
(see section 2.1 Intended Use).
– The operating company must keep informed of the locally applicable occupational health and safety
regulations and, in addition, use a risk assessment to determine the hazards resulting from the
specific working conditions at the location of use of the device. This must then be implemented in
the form of operating instructions for the operation of the device.
– When using hazardous materials, protective measures must be specified in accordance with the
safety data sheets and operating instructions shall be compiled for hazardous materials. Personnel
must be briefed accordingly. This also applies to hazardous substances that may arise during work
processes.
– A continuous risk assessment must be carried out for workplaces, including temperature conditions
for the medium and the place of use (falling). The measures are to be defined in operating
instructions. Personnel must be instructed accordingly.
– upervisors must monitor compliance with the measures specified in the operating instructions.

not intended to come into direct contact with the device (e.g. visitor groups) about the potential
dangers involved.
– The operating company is responsible for making sure that the device is only ever operated in
perfect condition.
– Wherever high pneumatic pressures occur, there is a possibility of sudden failure of or damage to
the lines and connections. This poses a hazard. The operating company must instruct operating and
maintenance personnel at least once a year on the possible hazards.
– The constructor of the overall plant must install the switching and safety devices required for setting
up, inspection, shutting down (including emergency shutdown), operation, maintenance, cleaning
and repair.
