500 Gallon Tank

Wash Water Recirculation Tank

Stainless steel recirculation tank systems engineered for drum washing, solids separation, sludge collection, and process water recovery.

Engineered for Drum Washing

Recover wash water while protecting pumps, nozzles, and downstream equipment.

The 500 Gallon Wash Water Recirculation Tank is designed to support continuous-duty drum washing and plastic reclaim operations by providing wash water recovery, solids separation, and recirculation in one integrated stainless steel system.

Dirty wash water returns to the tank where solids, sludge, labels, and debris are separated before cleaner process water is recirculated back to the wash system.

System Overview

Built for cleaner recirculation and easier maintenance.

01
Dirty Water Return

Wash water returns from the drum cleaning process through screened or baffled inlet sections.

02
Solids Separation

Internal settling and separation zones help capture plastic fines, labels, grit, sludge, and sediment.

03
Clean Pump Feed

Cleaner process water is pulled from a protected suction zone to reduce pump and nozzle contamination.

04
Sludge Cleanout

A 2" sludge drain connection allows settled contamination to be removed during maintenance or tank cleanout.

Standard Features

Designed as a process tank, not just storage.

Stainless Steel Cylindrical TankDurable construction for industrial wash water and reclaim environments.
500 Gallon Operating CapacitySized for drum washing systems and closed-loop recirculation applications.
Internal Settling ZoneHelps reduce solids carryover before water returns to the wash process.
2" Sludge Drain ConnectionLarge drain connection simplifies removal of settled contamination.
Sight Level GaugeProvides visible tank level reference for operators and maintenance personnel.
Skid BaseHeavy-duty base frame supports practical installation, handling, and service access.
Tank System Advantage

Reduce water usage. Improve process reliability.

By capturing debris and recirculating process water, the tank helps reduce fresh water consumption, protect pumps and spray nozzles, reduce downtime, and support continuous recycling operations.


Configured for integration with VRS, DS, WS, ADA, GS, and PDR Series systems.

Applications

Ideal for wash water recovery and drum reclaim lines.

Plastic Drum Washing

Recover and recirculate wash water used for drum and container cleaning.

Container Reclaim Operations

Support high-use wash processes with better water handling and solids control.

Closed-Loop Wash Systems

Reduce fresh water usage and improve process consistency.

Plastic Recycling Wash Lines

Protect pumps, spray nozzles, filters, and downstream wash equipment.
