TANK INTERIOR CLEANING
Tailor-made solutions from modular to turn-key.
Selection of main applications.
Kärcher tank and container cleaning systems are modular system solutions customised to suit the particular type of contamination
and cleaning frequency. Needs assessment focusing on quality, operational safety and efficiency is the first step towards a well
planned system. Engineering – made in Germany.
Tank interior cleaning is usually complex and can be subject to specific factors: tank size and geometry, typical contamination and
external influences. Kärcher system solutions are designed to take all of these factors into account. Convincing examples are:

As depicted on the following pages, container cleaning systems are needed
for a variety of applications in transport and logistics as well as the chemical
industry.
As a result of globalisation, flows of goods are increasing and quality
requirements for cleaning are becoming more stringent in the associated
In addition to quality standards such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Point (HACCP) and Safety and Quality Assessment System (SQAS), harmonised
cleaning certificates such as the European Cleaning Document (ECD)
have become established as standard.
Work safety is also an integral part of tank interior cleaning. Safety
