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.
Trailer Tank Wash Locations
Tank washes add extra time to every shipment. After delivering a load, the driver might have to travel an hour or more — maybe even to another state — to reach a acceptable tank wash location. Not every washing facility is designed to clean every liquid bulk tank. Some handle chemicals only, while others are designed only for food-grade loads. Some have limitations on the products they can wash due to, various limitations including regional groundwater restrictions.
Once the driver arrives at the tank wash facility, he or she will likely need to wait his or her turn to be cleaned. This is then followed by the tank wash itself, which can take several hours. A wash can be more time consuming if there is difficulty removing excess liquids (or ‘heel’) out of the tank before washing.
Washes also add cost, not only the empty deadhead miles to the tank wash, but also the cost of the tank wash. The cost of washing the trailer may appear on the shipper’s freight bill as a separate accessorial charges. For some products, bulk liquid tanker carriers will apply a standard washing charge. For others, the carrier will pass along the actual dollar amount that the Tank Wash Location charges.

Food Grade Tank Wash
The general population has confidence in the food and drinks they consume as we have regulations to keep our food supply chain safe. These regulations include how the food is handled, stored and transported, which also includes, how a bulk tank trailer needs to be washed.
Kosher Food Grade Tank Wash
Kosher transport must adhere to Jewish kashrut laws just as strictly as food production. According to kashrut food laws, any hot non-kosher items can’t touch kosher food. If that happens, then the kosher food is no longer kosher. In turn, if a tanker holds non-kosher food items and then carries kosher food — the kosher certification is lost. All Food grade tank trailers, wash locations, and storage facilities must be certified kosher by rabbis who specialize in the certification process.
Kosher Certification Process
There are misconceptions about kosher certification. Many people have the mistaken belief that storage or transportation tanks can be made kosher by having a rabbi merely giving a blessing over the product or trailer. There’s actually far more to the process of kosher certification. These specialized rabbis have to inspect the facility, but also inspect the history of what the tanks previously hauled. A kosher certificate has to travel with each shipment of food throughout the entire food transportation process, from where it’s produced to its final destination.
There are several steps that need to be followed on a Kosher Wash, to keep in good standing with kosher certification each time at Kosher Food Grade Tank Trailer is cleaned and sanitized.
- Step 1: Perform a standard clean, flush out any remaining liquids and wash the exterior of any dirt and debris.
- Step 2: Use a special cleaner for the interiors of the tank trailer.
- Step 3: Rinse the interiors of the tanks using water that is over 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 4: Sanitize thoroughly the Food Grade Tank Trailer.
Once a Food Grade Tanker has achieved kosher certification, carriers ensure that it never comes into any contact with any foodstuffs like pork or shellfish, or any other non-kosher food items. That’s why it’s so crucially important that accurate records are kept and all 3 prior loads are recorded properly. making sure that the food grade transportation chain is kept clean and that your food product is being handled appropriately along the way.
