Drum Washers – Barrel Washers

SRS Engineering’s automatic enclosed medium sized drum washer unit, the DW-Series (Drum Washer) and DWC-Series (Drum Washer/Crusher) are designed to clean larger containers including various sized 30 and 55 gallon drums, barrels, and overpaks, as well as handle small containers such as pails, buckets, jars, lids, and any other specialty parts contaminated with a wide variety of solvent or aqueous based materials. The DW-Series (Drum Washer) and DWC-Series (Drum Washer/Crusher Combination) both feature corrosion resistant, high pressure pumps and spray nozzles which can remove even the most difficult residues from the containers. The high impingement jet spray technology can even eliminate cured resins and paints. A vapor tight lid is typically used to ensure vapor containment. Interlocked lid, secure sensors, and ground proving switches are standard features to ensure maximum operator safety.

SRS Engineering’s DW-Series Drum Washers are designed for:

85 Gallon Overpak Washing
55 Gallon Drum and Barrel Washing
44 Gallon Drum Washing
200 Liter Drum Washing
30 Gallon Drum Washing
Pail Washing
Bucket Washing
20 Liter Tin Washing

Both units have an easy to use, set up menu that provide the operator with the ability to program a wash and rinse cycle into the PLC microprocessor logic controller allowing the system to operate automatically. The controller monitors a series of relays and contacts to verify proper liquid levels, flows, pressures, container security and proper grounding, before starting the cycle. Any fault condition is diagnosed and clearly displayed on the control panel to ensure operator safety and ease of operation. The system automatically shuts off in the event of a fault condition or at the end of the cycle.

The cleaning liquid used in the primary wash cycle can also be recirculated to an external containment reservoir, tank, or built in sump tank to minimize the volume required. The rinse can then be disposed off site, recycled, or returned to a dirty wash tank as make-up (commonly used in Closed-Loop System configurations).
