The BRA Reference is a mobile handheld unit for cleaning the inside of barrels directly at the storage location. It consists of a rotating cleaning head, an electric motor and a connecting pipe and is inserted through the bunghole (larger than Ø 37 mm) into barrels with a capacity of 225 to 600 litres.
Via the connecting pipe, the electric motor drives the R40 cleaning head, which rotates at 17 rpm and covers the entire inside of the barrel (360°) with its two nozzles. During and after cleaning, an integrated injector system extracts the dirty water through the suction pipe – the vacuum required for this is generated by the high pressure of the cleaning water. Cleaning and extraction thus take place in a single operation; a complete cycle takes approx. 3–5 minutes. Thanks to the modular design, the cleaning head, motor and connecting pipe can be replaced individually, so the unit is quickly ready for use again after servicing. The bunghole fixture and height-adjustable barrel support ensure a secure hold on the barrel. The BRA Reference is durable, easy to maintain and runs very quietly.
