WASTE LINE CLEANING - WALICLEAN

The importance of proper vacuum waste tube maintenance is obvious: to avoid unscheduled events and lavatory malfunctions. The Waliclean has been developed as a fully automatic vacuum waste line cleaning system for a whide range of aircraft types. Waliclean is the outcome of a joint development project of Austrian Airlines (Lufthansa Group), vacuum waste tube maintenance technicians (inventors) with decades of specific work experience and TEST-FUCHS a leading manufacturer of high-tech GSE and aerospace test equipment. The main targets of the development have been a very cost effective opperation (without the need of costly special chemicals), an easy and fast processing and in a safe and predictable way (best possible cleaning results independent of operator experience). After pushing “start” no further action is required until cleaning is completed - a cleaning during overnight stops is possible.

Features

  • Fully automatic cleaning process (no monitoring required)
  • Automatic leakage test of vacuum waste line system before cleaning process start-up
  • Implementation during standard maintenance tasks (e.g. Line Maintenance Check)
  • Preselectable cleaning time enables high flexibility, perfect cleanliness is provided within a few hours
  • Implementation for already significantly clogged waste lines as well as for preventive cleaning
  • Environmental friendliness is ensured by usage of water and citric acid as cleaning agents
  • 2 electronically controlled pumps
  • 2 pressure sensors (supply and return)
  • Large heated reservoir (100 gal)
  • Permanent automatic observation and regulation of the pressure (vacuum)
  • Automatic change of flow direction (wide body)
  • Concurrent cleaning of two systems (wide body)
  • Heated HEPA (High-efficiency particulate absorption) filter for reservoir air vent

Options

Option Details
Continuous-flow heater This option is recommended if no warm water (at least 30 °C / 85 °F) is available in the hangar. The integrated continuous-flow heater enables filling with cold water (at least 10 °C / 50 °F).
Motor drive for hose reel The hose reel for the cleaning hoses is motor driven. Operated via foot switch, it enables guiding hoses with both hands.
Tool box with drawer and storage shelf for citric acid For small parts such as cleaning cloths, glasses, protective clothing etc. a drawer is installed. The two bags of citric acid can be stored on the integrated shelf which is protected against rain.
Spring-loaded chassis Spring-loaded axes are integrated into the chassis to prevent damage due to long distance trailing.
Cover paint alternative to standard Skydrol resistant paint is used. Standard cover paint: light grey (RAL 7035) with upper part in traffic blue (RAL 5017).
Connection for waste service truck An adapter is mounted on the tank in order to connect a Waste Service Truck and to drain the tank content of the device into this truck.
Drain pump Mounted vane pump to drain the tank in a container provided therefore or in the waste service truck if it has an integrated vacuum pump.
