Dry cleaning container & hopper station
Effectively manage cleaning of rotation-symmetrical containers with minimal downtime, using compressed air to remove dust and product residues, ensuring safety and cleanliness without wet cleaning.
Efficiently Cleans and Decontaminates Containers and Hoppers
The Dry Cleaning Station for Containers and Hoppers from AZO GmbH & Co. KG is designed to enhance operational efficiency in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. This equipment eliminates the need for separate wet cleaning processes by employing a compressed air-driven mechanism that ensures thorough purification of rotation-symmetrical containers and hoppers. Ideal for handling powders like pharmaceutical compounds and metal powders, it reduces hazards by operating as a closed system to prevent dust exposure. The station supports both manual and automated operations, offering flexibility and integration into existing production lines. The patented docking system and linear-drive cleaning unit facilitate dust-tight connections and complete interior cleaning, effectively improving uptime and environmental safety. The station is customizable to fit various geometric shapes and automation levels, ensuring seamless incorporation into different manufacturing setups. Designed for durability, it complies with industry standards for clean and safe processing.
