MegaMacs auxiliary equipment

Robotic Tank Cannon

The Robotic Tank Cannon is a hydraulically operated machine power by MegaMacs' hydraulic plant. This machine uses water or cutter stock as liquefier to dilute and suspend sludge in tanks (under pressure 20 Bar). The Robotic Tank Cannon is a remotely controlled, high volume jetting system used for cleaning large storage tanks. It works on a process known as hydraulic mining, in which a concentrated stream of liquid such as water is used to dislodge and move sediments. Once positioned inside the tank to be cleaned the "cannon's" powerful jet can be remotely directed by operator stationed outside the tank.

A duplicate of the cannon' drive system on the consol mimics for operator, using visual indication, cannon's nozzle position and elevation allowing the operator to dislodge and slurry the sludge, for pumping it from the tank for further processing.

^ TopSludge Extractor

The apparatus is used for extraction of sludge from tank interiors and is hydraulically powered by MegaMacs. The Extractor is designed to be easily disassembled into manageable pieces that can be passed through the manhole of a storage tanks exterior for further re-assembling inside the tank. Two independently powered track drives are used to propel and maneuver the unit around the tanks interior.

A powerful hydraulically driven digging arm excavates the sludge and draws it into the machine intake where it is slurried with water or oil prior to be pumped from the tank by its onboard pump. When properly operated the Extractor can excavate, slurry, and discharge from tank's exterior approximately 18 tons of sludge an hour. Just a single operator required inside the tank limiting liability to a minimum.

^ TopBooster Pump

Submersible Booster Pump is a small, lightweight portable pump that is used for the transfer of solid laden liquids from storage tanks and sludge lagoons. It is primarily used in conjunction with a liquid jetting device to extract and return liquids and solids to the cleaning system for separation, reclamation, and reuse. Threaded suction ports allow series running of multiple pumps to pump liquids over longer distances. Pump's hydraulic drive allows it to be fully submerged in the liquid being pumped without fear of damaging the drive motor.

^ TopSludge Pump

Sludge Pump specifically designed for heavy sludge. This submersible Positive Displacement Pump can pump substances from water to the heaviest sludge. Pump has production capacity up to 20 m3/ hr which is easily controlled by hydraulic system. Pump construction prevents emulsion creation which is very important for future sludge processing. Pump is operated hydraulically and extremely safe. Intake is equipped with special knife which cuts ropes, plastic and other small debris. Should sludge is excessively pump is equipped with water/steam intakes to dilute sludge on pump exit. Pump has a reverse spin for fast cleaning. Pump is made out of stainless steel and special aluminum composite for acidic substances. Pump is able to handle debris up to 30 mm.

^ TopWashead with tripod unit

The "180 - 360 Washead with tripod" is used for de-sludging and cleaning of storage tanks. This is directional tank cleaning machine utilizes three powerful synchronized jets that revolve around the horizontal axis of the machine and index both the bottom and walls of the tank. This indexing provides an extremely tight, half spear ball and twine pattern that impinges evenly and with great force upon the surfaces being cleaned, providing maximum surface coverage even at a great distance. Incremental nozzle advancement per revolution allows a complete cleaning cycle with every sixty revolutions of the machine's T housing. The machine that is driven by the cleaning solution (water) requires little or no monitoring during the cleaning cycle. Heavy-duty tripod makes it a highly efficient cleaning machine with a simple to use mounting system allowing fast and easy setups.

^ TopHose and Manifold package

Hose and Manifold package included in MegaMacs system provides auxiliary equipment connections. Powerful pumps and hydraulic system allows MegaMacs to be located up to 150 m from the treated object.
