Rail Industry Component:
Lechler Inc.: M20 High Impact Tank Cleaning Machine

Lechler's High Impact Tank Cleaning Machine is designed to clean large tanks or vessels, including rail car interiors, up to 60 feet in length or diameter. An optional mounting device for the M20 is designed especially for cleaning long, horizontal vessels, such as rail cars. When a dual race M20 model is attached horizontally to the mounting device, extensive testing has shown that this arrangement effectively cleans rail cars by spraying more water to both bulkheads, the company says, adding that more water covering all areas means cleaner rail car interiors.
