Tank Wash Cleaning Equipment

Why Tank Wash Solutions

We are on a mission: To have a positive impact on your P&L. We accomplish this by consulting with our clients for their specific needs, while staying within specified budgets. The result is an integration of the best possible technologies, chemicals, and wastewater treatment systems to deliver maximum long term ROI.

Our Industrial Tank Wash Systems are expertly designed, fully integrated, pre-plumbed, skid mounted cleaning solutions for Road Tankers, ISO Tanks, and Rail Cars—encompassing vats, pumps, piping, access platforms, tip-outs, with manual or PLC-driven controls. Most clients know that they need a more efficient wash bay, but do not know exactly which configuration, automation level, or chemistry will deliver the performance they’re after. That’s where Henry Zeller comes in: with 30+ years of serving the tank wash and railcar cleaning industries, Henry works with each client to determine their specific needs and budget—then facilitates the right solution end-to-end. One call to Tank Wash Solutions can replace months of vendor shopping and guesswork with one accountable expert and one P&L-focused plan.

Mobile Tank Wash Power Unit (New)

When transporting a tank to a fixed wash facility isn’t practical, our diesel-powered, skid-mounted unit brings the wash bay to the tank. Engineered around a Hydra-Cell® D-35 pump and delivering 36 GPM at 1000 PSI, it’s built for rail yards, remote depots, spill response, and any operation that can’t afford to wait for an open bay.

Industrial Wash Bays

Industrial wash bay systems are fully integrated skid mounted cleaning solutions for Tank Trailers, ISO tanks, and Rail Cars—encompassing vats, pumps, piping, access platforms, stairs, tip-outs, with manual or PLC-driven controls. Most clients know that they need a more efficient wash bay, but do not know exactly which configuration, automation level, or chemistry will deliver the return they’re after. That’s where Henry Zeller comes in: with 30+ years of serving the tank wash and railcar cleaning industries, Henry works with each client to determine their specific needs and budget—then facilitates the right solution end-to-end. One call to Tank Wash Solutions can replace months of vendor shopping and guesswork with one accountable expert and one P&L-focused plan.

Food Grade Skids

Food-grade skids are sanitary-design cleaning solutions for tank trailers, ISO tanks, and rail cars transporting edible commodities—dairy, juice, sweeteners, edible oils, syrups, lecithin, starches, industrial enzymes, even pharmaceutical feedstocks—engineered to 3-A principles. We offer fully automated, multiple task systems. These systems are controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC), and can incorporate an operator interface panel enabling the user to monitor the program in operation and make changes to the program parameters such as step times and temperatures after entering a password. Each system is programmed to meet our customers needs. We also offer installation and on-site start-up.

Systems include all stainless steel construction, sanitary fittings, segregated piping, filtered air drying, and computer-generated wash reporting for FSMA and HACCP defensibility. Most clients know they need a food-grade solution but not exactly how to configure one for their specific commodity profile, audit requirements, and shipper expectations. Henry Zeller works with each client to map commodity-to-cleaning protocols, evaluate available footprint and utilities, set the budget, and facilitate a custom skid built around their operation. Contact us today to learn more about how a CIP Food Grade Tank Wash System could be integrated into your private fleet, or as an open-to-the-public tank wash. Our design and installation crews have travelled the world helping farms and tank washes reach their production goals.

High-Pressure Shell & Tube Skids

High-pressure shell and tube skids are continuous-flow water heating solutions for tank trailer and rail car wash operations—integrating a high-pressure pump, steam-jacketed tube-bundle heat exchanger, instrumentation, safety relief, and controls into one above-floor solution that delivers on-demand high-temperature wash water without the recovery delays of direct-fired boilers. Most clients know hot-water bottlenecks are costing them trailer turns, but not how to size the pump, heat exchanger, and steam supply to eliminate them. Henry Zeller works directly with each client to evaluate the existing steam infrastructure, bay layout, throughput targets, and budget, then facilitates a custom shell and tube skid matched to John-Henry® high-temperature chemistry. With 30+ years of integrated wash solutions, Henry takes the project from drawings through first wash—making Tank Wash Solutions the first and only call for operators ready to turn heat into their cheapest profit lever.

MEA Skids

MEA skids are among the most technically demanding solutions in tank cleaning—heated, recirculating wash systems engineered to dissolve isocyanates in a way that nothing else can touch. The chemistry is aggressive and unforgiving — every wetted component, from pump seals to heat exchanger metallurgy, vapor management and consistent temperature must be handled with precision. Most clients know that super-heated monoethanolamine is the only chemistry that will melt away set-up isocyanates. For operators serious about cleaning what their competitors refuse, Tank Wash Solutions should be the first and only call.

Why Tank Wash Solutions

Equipment fabricators know fabrication, but they do not know the tank wash and railcar cleaning industry. Henry Zeller does! Tank Wash Solutions does not sell ‘packages.’ We offer custom, made-to-order solutions to fit your needs within your budget. That falls under our company mission: to have a positive impact on YOUR P&L by designing the best possible solutions in equipment, cleaning chemicals, and wastewater treatment. We consult, design, specify, formulate, and project-manage. Through long-standing partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers, we direct the layout, equipment determination, and facility design within your budget, and we stay with the project from concept through completion. 

One accountable expert. One integrated solution. One mission: your profitability.
