BIRC030P Bolondi Air Motor Tank Head | Rotary Cleaner

BIRC030P Bolondi Air Motor Tank Head | Rotary Cleaner

The Bolondi BIRC030P is a pneumatic-powered rotary cleaning head engineered specifically for use in hazardous, explosion-sensitive, or electrically restricted environments.
Where electrical sparking or static discharge poses a significant safety risk, this air motor–driven system provides a compliant, intrinsically safe solution for tank and vessel cleaning.
It is particularly effective in ATEX-rated zones, solvent storage tanks, flammable liquid processing facilities, refineries, and chemical plants.

By using compressed air instead of electrical or hydraulic drive systems, the BIRC030P eliminates ignition hazards while delivering high-pressure, high-impact cleaning performance.
Its stainless steel construction, reliable pneumatic motor, and precision-engineered spray nozzles make it indispensable for industries where safety and sanitation must coexist.

How It Works

A pneumatic motor powers the rotation of the spray head. When compressed air is supplied, the motor converts airflow into rotational motion, spinning the nozzle assembly at controlled speeds.
As pressurized water flows through the rotating nozzles, concentrated jet streams create a full 360° spray pattern for complete tank coverage.

Hybrid Cleaning Action

• Uniform spray coverage – consistent nozzle rotation even with water flow fluctuations.
• Aggressive impact force – high-velocity jets remove residues, films, and deposits with minimal chemical use.
• Safe in volatile atmospheres – no electrical components mean reduced explosion risks.

This design is highly valuable in facilities that process flammable liquids, volatile chemicals, or combustible dusts.
