Internal cleaning of hydraulic tanks
After welding we carry out internal cleaning of the hydraulic tanks. This is a chemical wash, also known as tank flushing, and is applied to all the tanks we produce.
Why wash?
This process guarantees the total removal of residues inside the tank; which may have been generated by welding or mechanical processing (for example threading). Washing is especially useful for all those models that are completely closed, i.e. that do not have a screwed cover.
Cleaning hydraulic tanks is essential for their correct functioning. Introducing impurities into the hydraulic circuit can lead to damage to the gaskets, oil seals, cylinder rods and even failure of the hydraulic motors themselves.
The washing
To wash we apply a particular liquid, introduced with light pressure. Product has been specifically designed and tested in collaboration with the manufacturing company. A cleaning cycle, based on the size and complexity of the tank, can vary from 10 to 20 minutes. The product is certified not to leave unwelcome corrosive effects inside the tank itself once the liquid has been removed.
After that drained liquid is collected in a tank and filtered before reuse in order to guarantee maximum effectiveness with each wash. The life cycle of the product is approximately 20 washes.
Control
The cleaned tanks are inspected to verify the quality of cleaning. A visual inspection is performed, along with a magnetic inspection to detect residual impurities. The impurities collected must be below the acceptable limit in terms of both size and density. We also verify that the liquid has been completely drained. Under normal conditions, this inspection occurs every 10 tanks.
In the most difficult-to-reach areas, we use an endoscope to perform a video inspection. This ensures there’s no dirt accumulation in the corners.
Agrital
We produce customized hydraulic tanks, our current production exceeds 1000 units per year. For each tank, the watertightness is verified through the bubble test and cleanliness is guaranteed through chemical washing.
We are a metalworking company active since 1972. We started in the agricultural mechanization sector with the construction of tractor cabins.
Today, thanks to a staff of over 50 people, we are present in various product sectors, mainly producing driver’s cabins, hydraulic tanks, railings and hoods (metal casing). In addition to having been the forerunners since 2003 in laser tube processing
