The Orbiter™: Rotating Cleaning Tool
All-electric rotating cleaner for railcars, floating-roof tanks, and vessels. Mountable in any orientation – top, side, or inverted – for remote, high-performance industrial cleaning.
One tool. Two performance modes. Swap nozzles on The Orbiter™ to easily shift between high-flow and high-pressure cleaning.
Overview
Laminar Flow Plath
– Adjustable tilt up to 70°
– Real-time directional control
Rotational Movement
– Full 360° rotation for full coverage of railcars, floating-roof tanks, and vessels.
Flange Mount
– 4″ Class 150# flange
– Adapatable to larger flange sizes with adapter plates
Quick-Change Nozzles
– ¼”, ⅜”, ½”, ⅝” nozzles for high-pressure
– 1″ nozzle for high-flow
Features & Benefits
All-Electric Performance
Powered by a standard 120~240 VAC electrical circuit. No hydraulics.
Instant, precise, lag-free motion.
Adjustable speed from 0.1°/s (ultra-slow) to 10°/s (ultra-fast)
No hydraulic motor or hoses required.
High Pressure Impact
Target hardened buildup with up to 10,000 psi of focused force for high-impact cleaning.
Breaks down heavy residue for faster washdown and slurry evacuation
Quick-change nozzles – ¼”, ⅜”, ½”, ⅝” – for the right impact every time
Operate at the pressure and flow you need to get the job done
High-Flow Mode
Clear away deposits with high-volume flow and directional coverage in any orientation.
Quick-change 1″ nozzle delivers high-flow output for moving heavy product faster
Top-entry positioning hits solids from above to accelerate breakdown
Designed to move high volumes of liquid and loosened debris
Multi-Orientation Tool
Precision cleaning from above (or any angle) for the toughest tank zones.
Target strategic spots under a floating roof for sludge removal other tools can’t reach
Recovers valuable product by breaking up sludge for circulation and extraction
Reduces product remaining in hard to reach places
Adaptable Mounting
Versatile deployment for various assets.
Fits standard 4″ 150# flange
Adapatable to larger flange sizes using bolt-on adapter plates
Engineered for quick setup and redeployment
No Man Entry Cleaning
Clean from a distance, no confined space entry or manual effort required.
Eliminate confined space and operate remotely through manways or nozzles
Improve crew safety by staying clear of hazardous zones
Speed up cleaning cycles across vessels, railcars, and floating-roof tanks.
Automated Control
Automated industrial cleaning with pinpoint accuracy, all from the safety of a control station.
Define cleaning patterns to match tank geometry, nozzle size, and debris zones
Target solids from multiple angles for complete coverage
Operate via Overseer 3D (full PC software) or Overseer Mobile (tablet or phone)
