Drum Washer Tunnel

The Drum Washer Tunnel Systems DWT Series is an automated conveyor/tunnel system designed for efficient drum cleaning, capable of washing and rinsing up to 100 drums per hour (DWT-100 Model) and 200 drums per hour (DWT-200 Model). Its adjustable conveyor speeds range from 1 to 24 feet per minute, allowing customization for various soil conditions.

The system features a custom-designed rotary wash/rinse arm for cleaning the drum’s exterior and rotary pop-up nozzles for the interior, suitable for both open and closed-top drums. A single wash station includes a 1-inch stainless steel manifold with sixteen (16) 304 stainless steel fan jet nozzles, which rotate to clean the sides and top of the drum. For interior cleaning, a 400 RPM rotary pop-up spray nozzle ensures comprehensive coverage.

The DWT Series is designed for continuous operation and ships pre-plumbed and pre-wired, simplifying installation. Its modular design ensures seamless integration for a fully operational washing system. Capable of handling both light and heavy waste conditions, the DWT Series provides consistent, high-quality cleaning for industrial drum washing and cleaning processes.
