KNOWN as the Spray-O-Mat, motating head marketed by the General Descaling Co. Ltd. is designed to facilitate the cleaning of bulk-trensport tankers and storage vessels. Of American origin, the head is rotated by the pressure in the supply line acting on an offset jet and incorporates a number of spray slots and jets that ensure that the fluid sweeps every section of the internal surface. The fluid may be hot or cold water or a chemical solution.
Two or more heads may be employed if required in the case of very, large vessels. Pressures and rates of flow vary according to the process used but average 75 p.s.i. and 40 gal./min. respectively.
Marketed by: General Descaling Co. Ltd., Retford Road, Worksop, Notts.
