Crate washers

EKW

EKW-2500 with one man operation and vapour extraction

The entire system is constructed out of stainless steel plates and profiles and is placed on adjustable feet. The wash tunnel is accessible by means of very practical upward folding-doors. When a door is opened during operation, the washer will stop instantly. Transport of the crates is conducted by a synthetic chain. The spraying arcs are provided with a large number of synthetic click nozzles. The EKW crate washers are designed for crates with a maximum dimension of 600 x 400 x 300 mm (lxwxh).

In the main wash zone the crates are cleaned and the dirt is removed from the crates. The click nozzles are supplied with water by a powerful and energy efficient pump. The main wash tank is filled by its own filling connection, equipped with level sensors.

In the after rinse zone the crates are rinsed with fresh water. Any residual detergent will be removed. A sensor controls the after rinse bow. If no crates are detected the fresh water supply will remain closed.

In order to apply our cleaning philosophy as well as possible in practice, our industrial washing systems are made up of different cleaning zones. This phased cleaning ensures that all contaminants are properly dealt with.

The standard cleaning zones of our crate washer:

Pre-wash zone (optional)
Here, spray nozzles clean the crates at a low water temperature (approx. 30-40 °C). This removes the blood and protein residues from the crates. The rough dirt particles are removed directly. If the temperature is too high (from 48 °C), the proteins will clump together (‘coagulate’).
Main wash zone
In the main wash zone, spray nozzles clean the crates with hot water (approx. 50-65 °C). Fats and bacterial contaminants are removed in combination with the right chemicals. This keeps the germ count in the wash tank as low as possible.
Sticker removal (optional)
Special dirt killers are used (at high pressure) to accurately remove sticker and adhesive residues. The crates are turned through 90° to enable all four sides to be treated. The fine microfilter ensures that the washing water remains free of small particles and is suitable for re-use.
Rinse zone
In this zone, the products are rinsed with fresh cold or hot water, with the aim of effectively removing the cleaning/disinfectant agent. Rinsing with hot water helps with the drying of the crates. Our crate washers are designed in such a way as to enable optimal re-use of the rinse water containing the chemical residue.
Blow off unit (optional)
In the blow off unit, air is blown over the crates by powerful stainless steel fans.The intelligent Elpress design heats the air (partly through recirculation) up to approx. 50 °C, which results in an even better blowing capacity. Depending on the type and desired result, a minimum amount of moisture remains in the crates after leaving the blow off unit.
