[5][6] Automated tank cleaning machines work in a manner similar to an irrigation sprinkler but are highly-engineered to deliver increased force.
Water forced through rotary jet nozzles rotates the device on a dual axis, creating a 360° cleaning pattern.
[8] The Alfa Laval Gamajet 8 is widely used in the chemical industry, ethanol, transport, brewing, municipality, and oilfield/fuel storage applications.
[3] Mucking requires protocols for entry into confined spaces and the use of airline respirators, protective clothing and safety observers.
[3] However, with Gamajet tank cleaning machines, confined space entry is greatly reduced eliminating danger to workers.
[11] His goal was to limit the amount of time that workers had to spend inside tanks, and partially relieve them of a dangerous and laborious job.
