SprayCheck TW ™

Monitoring Device
Verifies and validates
operation of tank
cleaning nozzles
Documents performance and provides
alarms to alert operators to problems

Benefits
• Eliminates post-cleaning tests and/or visual verification
of tank cleaning nozzle operation

• Provides detailed documentation of tank cleaning nozzle

performance for validation purposes

• Diagnostic tools quickly reveal problems such as changes

in rotation speed and frequency, spray loss, nozzle clogging
and pressure variation to facilitate troubleshooting and
problem solving
Specifications • Easy to install. Non-intrusive acoustic sensor easily mounts
Sensor: Acoustic to the exterior of the tank
System Requirements: Windows® XP operating system • Audible and visual alarms notify operators when changes
Windows® 2000 operating system are detected

The Advantages of
Acoustical Monitoring Monitoring Device
• Can be used with all types of
tanks and tank cleaning nozzles
Fast, Easy and Effective
• Sensitive detection – even Installation and Set-Up in Less Than One Hour
