Bulk Tank Trailer Cleaning
Many shippers will have specific tank wash requirements. These can include ‘non acceptable prior products’ which means this trailer cannot be used to load the potential load, unless, a acceptable special type of cleaning has been preformed, by a approved tank wash facility. Upon arrival at a shipper, the truck driver will need to show the washout slip which displays the details of the type tank wash performed, along with the last 3 prior products hauled.
Tank Wash Locations
Bulk Tank trailer wash facilities are located across North America and will typically wash out the bulk food grade tank in one of the following ways.
The most common type of tank wash is performed with a caustic soda solution or detergent. The solution will be placed inside a spinning mechanism that is inserted into the tank through the dome. This mechanism spins around and sprays the solution all over the tank, which is then rinsed, drained, and dried afterward.
A similar process is used for food-grade washes – which use specialized food-grade detergents – and Kosher washes – which only use Kosher-certified materials to wash the tank.
In many cases, the tanker’s gaskets, hoses, and pumps will be cleaned along with the inside of the tank, not all carriers have trailers that have pumps and hoses, along with in transit heat or Texas wash systems, these are all considered specialty tank trailers.
When products such as food allergen’s and other types of bulk liquids are exposed to one another, contamination can occur. Even a small trace of the tank’s previous product can have a huge negative impact on the next product being loaded. As such, once a product is hauled in a liquid bulk tanker and unloaded at the delivery site, that tank will need to be thoroughly washed before it can be loaded with another product
