FARMWORKS™ LIQUID TANK CLEANER

1 of 8 products in this brand
FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner reduces or eliminates residues from pesticides in mix tanks. Thorough cleaning reduces pesticide carry over from one tank mix to the next. That carry over may cause unwanted results. FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner also cleans equipment and extends the lifetime of seals and other soft parts in equipment and lines. FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner is compatible with and works with all active ingredients. FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner has an extremely alkaline pH, which helps dissolve acid active ingredients more efficiently and works well with sulfonylurea herbicides, both of which are particularly stubborn when being cleaned from a tank.

Applications & Uses

Directions For Use

For small tanks such as backp ack sp rayers:
Fill the small sprayer with a small amount of water. Add about 1 ounce of FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner for each gallon of water. Shake sprayer to cover all surfaces several times. Pour out water. Repeat, if needed. Rinse several times with clean fresh water until all signs of cleaning agent, such as foaming, are gone.
For large tanks :
Use about 1 quart FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner per 400 gallons of water. Hard-to-eliminate residues, such as 2,4-D or dicamba may require increased amounts of FarmWorks Liquid Tank Cleaner or repeat the number of rinses or both in order to completely eliminate these tricky residues. Add rinse water then tank cleaner at an amount adequate for cleaning. Turn on circulation. Continue circulation for 10 to 15 minutes. Also, as prescribed by the equipment manufacturer, clean the booms, hoses and other outer areas for several minutes. Drain the system. Follow with several thorough rinses. Complete rinsing is essential before starting the next tank mix.
HARD TO CLEAN RESIDUES A D RINSATE TESTING:
Some pesticides are difficult to clean even with thorough procedures. Some residues, such as those from 2,4-D and dicamba, may be extremely hard to remove. Carryover of these actives could injure certain crops, if not thoroughly removed. It is recommended after cleaning that the rinse water be tested on sensitive plants to make sure enough residue has been removed. Apply rinse water directly to sensitive plants.
