Pre-Soak Tank

CapacityUp to 125 tons (250,000 lb) per hour

Soaks product ahead of the washer so dirt loosens, stones drop and floating debris comes off early, at up to 125 tons per hour. It also holds product so the wash line gets an even feed.

HJV Engineering pre-soak tank

A pre-soak tank sits in front of the barrel washer. Product soaks before it reaches the barrel, so mud loosens, stones and clods drop out, and floating debris is taken off before it travels further down the line. That makes the washer, de-stoner and sludge removal all work better.

It also works as a buffer. The tank can accumulate product to add dwell time and meter an even flow into the washer, so the barrel is loaded steadily instead of in surges from the truck or storage.

With air jacuzzi jets agitating the product, much less dirt and debris makes it into the wash. Throughput runs up to 125 tons (250,000 lb) per hour, and holding capacity is built to suit your operation.
