Case StudyBasca washing machine to clean mixing tanks for paint production
Discover how our client, a paint manufacturer, has simplified the process of washing its mixing tanks, reducing washing cost by 78%, washing time by 75% increasing cleaning quality and operator safety.
Initial situation
The customer has the need to wash about 10 mixing tanks per day, the initial situation involved 1 operator full time washing manually using high pressure washer. This meant a cost that was exceeding € 250 per day considering labor and waste water disposal cost (€ 55,000 per year).
In addition, the working conditions for the worker were not acceptable, which meant that many times the final tank quality was not as expected and the washbay quite untidy and slippery.
Case StudyThe solution
Basca supported the client to analyze facts and figures of the present situation, suggesting possible solutions to wash the containers in automatic way. Then a washing test at Basca facilities has been done to find the most suitable machine configuration. One the desired machine configuration has been finalized we have supplied a Basca Washing Machine equipped with a 200 bar pump to spray the water on the tank surface granting a perfect cleaning in about 5 to 8 min/tank.
Together with Basca Washing Machine, we installed a wastewater recovery system that allowed to recycle and reuse the washing water again and again for further washing cycles, reducing the related costs.
The whole system is managed by a single operator less than 2 hours/day, which allowed the company to let him perform other tasks thanks to time savings, generating great value for the company itself.
