For over 50 years, the family-owned company from Baden-Württemberg has been developing high-quality cleaning systems “Made in Germany.” Whether in the food or concrete industry, the pharmaceutical sector or the automotive industry – WALTER Cleaningsystems stands for customized solutions, top quality, and reliable service. In Germany alone, ready-mix concrete producers could save over 17,000 tons of CO₂ annually with the Cleanjet 2-in-1 by reducing unnecessary concrete transport and the associated fuel consumption. But it’s not just the lower consumption that makes the difference: regular cleaning keeps the mixer drum free of concrete buildup, increasing its capacity. This means more concrete per trip – and fewer trips for the same amount. At the same time, drum wear is minimized, as no hard deposits form that could damage the inner wall. This extends the drum’s service life and significantly reduces maintenance costs. With the Cleanjet 2-in-1, you invest in a sustainable and economical solution that benefits both the environment and your budget.
Concrete residues in mixer drums pose daily challenges for operators, owners, and drivers. While regular cleaning prevents buildup, hardened concrete must be removed using a specialized high-pressure solution.
Two cleaning technologies in one system – Cleanjet 2-in-1:
The combination of both methods ensures a consistently clean drum and avoids unnecessary weight. Manual, hazardous cleaning is eliminated, improving workplace safety. At the same time, the system ensures optimal equipment utilization and offers the option to rent the high-pressure unit as needed.
With over 50 years of experience in developing industrial cleaning systems, we’ve learned to respond flexibly to the needs of our customers. With the Cleanjet 2-in-1, we now offer a cleaning system that perfectly combines efficient operation with sustainable practices – a solution that benefits both the environment and day-to-day operations. The successful implementation of the Cleanjet 2-in-1 is the result of a close and collaborative partnership between WALTER Cleaningsystems and SEW-EURODRIVE. Based on the modular automation platform MOVI-C®, including the multi-axis system MOVIDRIVE® modular and the MOVIKIT® software modules, an innovative solution was created that significantly reduces engineering effort and costs – with hardware savings of up to 20% – while actively supporting the sustainability goals of industrial cleaning. Thanks to centralized power supply for up to 32 components and the use of preconfigured MOVIKIT® software modules, complex motion sequences could be implemented efficiently and without additional programming effort.Sascha Priwall
Before the Cleanjet 2-in-1 became a reality, we conducted a thorough market analysis and spoke with numerous users. The feedback was clear: cleaning must be reliable, safe, and as automated as possible – ideally stationary, without complex retrofitting. This led to the idea of a permanently installed, automated system with maximum precision. The greatest technical challenge: the compact design of the drum and the minimal distance to the mixing spiral. Together with SEW-EURODRIVE, we developed a specialized robotics module that operates with 1500 bar of ultra-high pressure in extremely confined space. Thanks to precise three-axis control, the nozzle is guided along the drum path – accurately and repeatably. The result is a robust, user-friendly system that reliably removes hardened concrete and sets new standards in precision, safety, and efficiency. This is how Cleanjet 2-in-1 was born – Next Level Cleaning.Marcel Lange
