Fully automated drum and bucket washers are an easy and efficient way of cleaning containers used to store ink. Water is forced through a series of rotary brushes that clean the inside and outside of the containers. The washers are virtually maintenance-free. The Colorclean Indigo is suitable for cleaning one bucket at a time, while the Colorclean Azur is designed to clean two buckets simultaneously. The Colorclean Cyan is suitable for inside and outside cleaning of larger open-top drums. See the table below for all specifications.

The Indigo (see picture above) is equipped with an inner brush of 230 mm. This means the buckets to be cleaned can have the following dimensions:

  • Diameter maximum: 375 mm
  • Diameter minimum: 250 mm
  • Height maximum: 470 mm

The machine functions with:

  • Three rotating brushes for inside and outside cleaning of open buckets. The brushes are rotating with a different speed, which results in a rotating movement of the bucket and also an effective working of the brushes.
  • One non-rotating brush for bottom cleaning.
  • An electric driven motor for brush propulsion.
  • A stainless steel washing cabin.
  • A switchbox with adjustable timers.
  • A door, which can be closed during the washing cycle.

The Azur is designed to clean two drums at the same time. Two brush sets are vailable, each set with a different diameter. The sizes of the drums to be cleaned determine the specifications of the brushes (sizes, diameter). The machine can be fitted with brushes of varying diameters, so two drums of differing sizes may be washed simultaneously, if needs be. With the brush set of 280 mm, the drums to be cleaned can have the following dimensions:

  • Diameter maximum: 470 mm
  • Diameter minimum: 290 mm
  • Height maximum: 900 mm

With the brush set of 390 mm, the drums can have the following dimensions:

  • Diameter maximum: 650 mm
  • Diameter minimum: 390 mm
  • Height maximum: 900 mm

The machine is executed with:

  • Five rotating brushes for inside and outside cleaning of open drum. The brushes are rotating with a different speed, which results in a rotating movement of the drum and also an effective working of the brushes.
  • Two non-rotating brushes for bottom cleaning.
  • An electric driven motor for brush propulsion.
  • A stainless steel washing cabin.
  • A switchbox with adjustable timers.
  • A set of doors, which can be closed during the washing cycle.

The Cyan is suitable for cleaning large open-top drums. There are two brush sets available, each set with a different diameter. The sizes of the drums to be cleaned determine the specifications of the brushes (sizes, diameter).
In case the machine is equipped with a brush set of 280 mm, the drums to be cleaned can have the following dimensions:

  • Diameter maximum: 470 mm
  • Diameter minimum: 290 mm
  • Height maximum: 900 mm

In case equipped with a brush set of 390 mm, the drums can have the following dimensions:

  • Diameter maximum: 650 mm
  • Diamter minimum: 390 mm
  • Height maximum: 900 mm

The machine is executed with:

  • Three rotating brushes for inside and outside cleaning of open drums. The brushes are rotating with a different speed, which results in a rotating movement of the drum and also an effective working of the brushes.
  • One non-rotating brush for bottom cleaning.
  • An electric driven motor for brush propulsion.
  • A stainless steel washing cabin.
  • A switchbox with adjustable timers.
  • A door, which can be closed during the washing cycle.
  • Detergent application unit, which enables cleaning even very dirty, drums with a detergent.
  • Water saving system, which enables savings of 50% till 80% of the water consumption.
