General Description Gunclean Toftejorg 270 FT (fixed turbine driven) tank cleaning unit consists of two main parts: the Gun Unit (GU) and the Power Unit (PU). The GU is mounted in the deck, protrudes into the tank and directs the liquid jet. The PU is the drive and operation unit and is permanently mounted on the GU inlet housing.

General Description (continued) The Cleaning Liquid Flow The liquid of the jet comes from the tank cleaning supply line. Passes through the shut-off valve, proceeds into the inlet housing, past the turbine, turns downwards into the main pipe through the deck, then through the main pipe down to the vertical housing which rotates around a vertical axis.

Technical Description Power Unit Power Unit Working Principle By using the fluid in the lines, a turbine fitted in the inlet housing drives the lower one way clutch and rocker which is transmitting power to the turning worm gear, connected to the lifting rod. The lifting rod is fitted with a long key and can slide up and down inside the turning worm gear hub.
Technical Description (continued) Manual Override An extension of the lifting gear screw is accessible from the outside of the Power Unit. By turning this shaft with a handle the nozzle can be manually rised to the starting point or during cleaning moved forward in its programme.

Installation and Normal Operation Before Installation Make sure that the pipes have been properly flushed before installation of the machine. We know from experience that welding rods, plastic bags, rags and other debris will block the turbine. This may result in damage and poor performance. Before Use Fill oil in Power Unit.
Page 21
Installation and Normal Operation (continued) To pre-set pitch angles Turn programming knob to programme 1. With the handle turn first worm screw until the rocker assy rests on the highest point of the cam. Turn the adjusting screw to the point where the rocker starts to lift from the cam. This setting will give programme 1 a pitch angle of 0°.
Installation and Normal Operation (continued) Programming Knob Turns of the adjusting screw from 0° pitch Turns Pitch 0° 0.375 0.5° 0.75 1° 1.5° Programmes with four different basic settings will give the pitch angle shown in the table below. Intermediate settings are of course also possible. Factory setting is shaded.
Installation and Normal Operation (continued) Speed Adjustment Type 1 Before the speed can be adjusted, the Power Unit and turbine must be drained from oil. Loosen the nut on the turbine shaft and adjust the turbine to desired position. Reduce measure A to reduce speed. Increase measure A to increase speed.
Installation and Normal Operation (continued) How to Calculate Pitch Angle Calculating formula Number of revolutions on shaft A to make one revolution on shaft B Pitch/revolution of gun Pitch/revolution of gun = D = Example C: Number of revolutions of shaft A = 51 D: Pitch/revolution of gun C = D 51 = 3°...

Installation and Normal Operation (continued) To Remove Cover For programming, spot cleaning and service the cover has to be removed. Loosen the two screws on top of Power Unit. Unscrew the hand crank screw on the side of the Power Unit and remove the programming knob, fitted with a grub screw.
Installation and Normal Operation (continued) Cleaning Turn the programming knob to desired programme. Crank the Power Unit to the starting angle Note: Open arrows for down, filled arrows for up, see fig. Slowly open the valve to start cleaning Note: After cleaning, the Power Unit must be handcranked to 0°, the resting position Instruction Manual, Gunclean Toftejorg 270FT Mark I Page 25 IM-TE102766-3-EN10...
