2.2 Intended use
The operational safety of the HR-Mini is only ensured if it is used as intended.
The HR-Mini is a rotating cleaning device and is classified as a tank cleaning
machine. The HR-Mini is designed for cleaning the inside of small tanks in the
brewing, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The term tank in this manual refers to sealed, empty, unpressurised tanks, hop-
pers, barrels, containers, etc. that are fitted with a drain outlet that allows the un-
obstructed discharge of the supplied cleaning medium.
The HR-Mini has been developed, designed, and manufactured solely for indus-
trial and commercial applications. Private use is strictly prohibited.
Basically, the plant operator must ensure the HR-Mini is suitable for each respec-
tive application.
When observing the stipulated limitations of use (see section “3.3 Technical da-
ta”), the HR-Mini can be used in indoor and outdoor tanks.
When doing so, the following fundamental issues must be observed:
−Only use the fully installed HR-Mini inside a sealed tank.
−Make sure the tank being cleaned is empty and is unpressurised.
−Protect the HR-Mini against freezing (e.g. residual water may freeze in cold
conditions).
−The HR-Mini is only intended for a fixed pipe installation. Installation using a
hose is FORBIDDEN.
−Insert an appropriate filter system in the supply line of the cleaning medium.
This is usually already provided in an upstream high-pressure cleaner. The
mesh size should be at least 200 mesh.
−Only operate the HR-Mini within the approved parameters (see section “3.3
Technical data”).
−Only use water as the cleaning medium.
−Only install the HR-Mini vertically with the cleaning head facing downwards.

HR-Mini Tank cleaning machine 13
3.2 Functioning
The HR-Mini is a motor-driven, versatile tank cleaning machine designed for
cleaning small, difficult-to-clean tanks in the brewing, beverage, chemical, and
pharmaceutical industries.
It is fixed in the tank opening using a 2” collar (included in the scope of delivery).
The HR-Mini is made of stainless steel and plastic. The induction motor uses the
shaft and bevel gears to drive the nozzle head and enable 360 degree cleaning
of the tank in precisely defined cleaning cycles.
The solid stream nozzles employ the jet principle to concentrate the cleaning
medium, resulting in a high-energy jet. The mechanical cleaning efficiency de-
pends on the velocity, quantity, and impact angle of the cleaning medium.
The intensive cleaning jets help to remove stubborn deposits from the side of the
tank which are blasted off and flushed out at high speed.
Various nozzle sizes are available depending on the requirements and tank size.
