Ensuring that cargo holds are clean and free of residues is an essential responsibility for bulk carriers and general cargo ships. Residues from cargo, dust, chemical remnants, and corrosive substances left after unloading can jeopardize cargo safety, diminish operational efficiency, and potentially result in contamination claims if not managed appropriately. To tackle these issues, Chutuo Marine provides a specialized Cargo Hold Cleaning Kit, specifically designed for effective chemical application, rinsing, and wash-down procedures aboard vessels.
Our cargo hold cleaning kits—offered in 1-inch and 1–2 inch configurations—are crafted to equip ship crews with a practical, safe, and user-friendly solution for regular cargo hold upkeep. This system integrates a chemical-resistant pneumatic diaphragm pump with telescopic spray equipment and complete hose assemblies, ensuring comprehensive cleaning even in difficult-to-access areas of the hold.
Designed for Marine Cargo Hold Applications
The Cargo Hold Cleaning Kit serves as an excellent applicator for directly spraying cleaning agents into cargo holds. It is specifically engineered for low-pressure chemical application, making it ideal for rinse-off, wash-down, and chemical treatment processes typically required on small to medium bulk carriers.
The system is compact and lightweight, facilitating easy handling, rapid setup, and convenient storage on board. All components are well-protected and equipped with quick coupling connectors, ensuring swift assembly and disassembly while minimizing leakage and downtime during operation.
Besides cargo hold cleaning, the kit can also be utilized independently for general fluid transfer, providing ship operators with enhanced flexibility in their daily maintenance activities.
Complete Set for Effective Cleaning Operations
Each Cargo Hold Cleaning Kit is provided as a comprehensive application set, removing the necessity for extra accessories. The standard configuration comprises:
• Pneumatic Diaphragm Pump (Chemical Resistant, 1” or 1/2” based on model)
• Telescopic Spray Pole (Standard 8.0 meters, with optional lengths of 12 m or 18 m)
• Set of Spray Nozzles with various spray angles
• Air Hose – 30 meters with couplings
• Chemical Suction Hose – 5 meters with couplings
• Chemical Discharge Hose – 50 meters with couplings
This well-structured configuration guarantees adequate reach and flow capacity to efficiently cover the entire cargo hold, from tank top to upper frames and bulkheads.
Chemical-Resistant and Designed for Safety
A significant benefit of Chutuo Marine’s cargo hold cleaning kit is its chemical-resistant design. The pump and hoses are appropriate for use with a diverse array of substances, including:
• Acids
• Solvents
• Flammable liquids
• Industrial cleaning chemicals
This renders the system highly adaptable and compatible with most commonly utilized cargo hold cleaning agents. The pneumatic, air-driven diaphragm pump mitigates electrical risks, enhancing safety for use in confined or potentially hazardous shipboard environments.
Powered by the Ship’s Compressed Air
The entire system operates on the ship’s existing compressed air supply, eliminating the need for additional power sources. This not only simplifies installation but also guarantees dependable performance during cleaning operations.
The air-driven diaphragm pump provides a steady flow at low pressure, perfect for controlled chemical application without excessive misting or waste. This assists crews in applying cleaning agents uniformly and effectively, enhancing cleaning outcomes while minimizing chemical usage.
Flexible Spray Options for Comprehensive Coverage
To accommodate various cleaning needs, the cargo hold cleaning kit features several spray nozzles with different angles, including:
• 0° (direct jet)
• 15°
• 25°
• 40°
• 60°
These nozzle selections enable operators to alternate between targeted cleaning for tough residues and wide-angle spraying for expansive surface areas. When paired with the telescopic spray pole, teams can effortlessly access elevated structures, frames, and corners of the cargo hold without the need for scaffolding or extra equipment.
Ideal for Small and Medium Bulk Carriers
The Cargo Hold Cleaning Kit is especially designed for small to medium bulk carriers, where efficiency, ease of use, and a space-efficient design are crucial. Its compact dimensions and lightweight build facilitate easy storage in workshops or deck lockers, while its sturdy performance meets the rigorous demands of marine environments.
By utilizing this system, ship operators can greatly decrease cleaning time, enhance safety by reducing manual labor, and ensure that cargo holds are adequately prepared for the subsequent voyage.
