The alkali solution circulation cleaning is carried out: the fifth valve 18 is closed, and the sixth valve 19 and the recovery valve 5 are opened at the same time, and the centrifugal pump 20 is started. The alkali cleaning cycle begins, and the rotating nozzle 3 rotates due to the pressure, spraying, so that the alkali solution is fully flushed to the internal surface.

[0055] (3) Hot water rinse:

[0056] Open the hot water valve 2, disconnect the connection between the barrel container 4 and the recovery valve 5, let the cleaning water flow into the drain, start the hot water pump 15, and evenly flush the hot water on every corner of the inner surface of the IBC barrel. Clean for 3 minutes until clean water flows out, and the cleaning is finished.

[0057] (4) The product is transported to the drying room and the cleaning process is completed.
