The Cyclone™: High-Flow Circulation Tank Sweep
Rapidly suspend heavy solids, blend in cutter stock, and homogenize tank contents with up to 100 feet of high-velocity injection.
The Cyclone is a fully electric, automated tank sweep engineered for industrial tank circulation. Available in two models: The Cyclone @ 1,500 GPM and The Cyclone XL @ 6,000 GPM.
Overview
Injection Stinger
– Injects pipe up to 30″ from injection flange to stinger flex point
Laminar Flow Path
– Adjustable tilt up to 70°
– Real-time directional control
Pan Movement
– Enables complete circulation within a tank
– Stinger pan movement is limited to the lower hemisphere (180°) to prevent upward spray
High-Flow Circulation
– Cyclone @ 1,500GPM, 2″ nozzle
– Cyclone XL @ 6,000GPM, 4″ nozzle
Flange Mounting Options
– Cyclone: 4″ 150# Flange
– Cyclone XL: 6″ 150# Flange
Features & Benefits
All-Electric Performance
Powered by a standard 120~240VAC electrical circuit. No hydraulics.
Smooth, lag-free sweep control with precise electric actuation
Adjustable rotation speed and angle to tailor flow direction
Fully electric. No hydraulic leaks. No mess.
High-Flow Circulation
Two models: The Cyclone (1,500 GPM) and The Cyclone XL (6,000 GPM) deliver powerful flow for tank homogenization.
Suspend sludge and solids for effective circulation
Cut through dense product with up to 100 feet of injection power
Built for extreme-duty industrial cleaning applications
Targeted Circulation
Direct flow exactly where it’s needed to maximize suspension and cleaning impact.
70° tilt and 180° pan movement gives precise control to reach buildup zones and tank edges
Real-time directional control
Reduce dead zones, speed up cleaning and cut down on debulking time
No-Man Entry Circulation
Keep crews out of hazardous tanks while The Cyclone handles high-flow circulation.
No confined space access required, operate externally
Protect crews by minimizing exposure to dangerous tank conditions
Circulate and suspend faster to prep tanks for quicker cleanout
Automated Control
Optimize circulation with precision control from a remote station using Overseer 3D or Overseer Mobile.
Program sweep paths to match tank layout and flow zones
Coordinate multiple Cyclones for full tank coverage
Monitor pressure, flow, and temperature in real-time
Effective Applications
- Bitumen Processing Tanks
- Crude Oil Storage Tanks
- De-Oil Tanks
- Diesel Tanks
- Diluent Tanks
- Dilbit Tanks
- Separation Tanks
- Skim Tanks
- Slop Tanks
Ideal for midstream and downstream operations where heavy solids must be suspended for effective removal.
