TEES ING ON T HE SP OT! WE LIKE TO VISIT OUR CUSTOMERS.. GRÖNINGER TANKCLEANING SYSTEMS Gröninger Cleaning Systems B.V. is the leading specialist in professional (high pressure) cleaning systems and equipment. Together with Willem Holleman, Project Engineer Electric at Gröninger,Teesing visited the new tank cleaning facilities from NTC Tankcleaning BV at its site at the Botlek area. The development of this new cleaning system required Gröninger to “pull out all the stops”, which has led to a state of the art system in the areas of technical improvement, innovation, safety, environmental friendliness and cleaning capacity. The new installation offers six cleaning bays for tank containers, two food cleaning bays, four chemical cleaning bays including two bays with 200 bar cleaning. Besides a large number of steam heating points is offered and the possibility to clean tanks that for instance have been filled with latex or chocolate. Willem Holleman leads us through the plant to see the components provided by Teesing in action. The control cabinets contain SMC solenoid manifolds with Profinet connection that drive the valves which control the desired cleaning solvents.

TEESING & PARNERS ARE LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
NTC and Gröninger have made the necessary technical design provisions to be able to perform up to 300 cleanings per day in the future. At this number of cleanings the energy use will be a dominant cost factor. For this reason, energy saving measures have been undertaken where possible, for example through the recovery of heat from wastewater and exhaust from the steam boiler and through equipping all pumps with variable-frequency drives. The Energy Saving Software from SMC has been specifically developed to provide a basic understanding of air parameters such as air consumption, flow rate, pressure, humidity, etc... in factory environments and to increase energy saving awareness with the associated benefits of cost savings and reduced CO2 emissions. Companies like Gröninger see the advantage of dealing with one partner like Teesing, that can provide a wider range of products. Teesing now provides manifolds, LDPE and PTFE tubing, ball valves, fittings and more. Willem Holleman explains: “ Less suppliers, less paperwork and one dedicated contactperson who really cares about the customer.” “Issues are resolved fast, powerful short communication lines and a solid reputation with over 60 years of experience in the pneumatic, hydraulic, instrumentation and transport of media makes Teesing a partner that we will approach more and more in the future.” Teesing and Gröninger see a bright future ahead in improving the tank cleaning systems together. < Willem Holleman shows Stephen de Ruijter, Sales Engineer at Teesing BV, the future developments.
