Industrial crate washer

Ensure optimal hygiene and efficiency by integrating high-speed crate washing into your production line, effectively removing contaminants while conserving water through advanced filtration and recycling systems.

Washes, Filtrates, and Drip-Dries Crates

The UNI BOX WASH by Unitec Group is a state-of-the-art crate washing system engineered for high-speed processing environments. It features dual parallel washing lines for manual loading, allowing flexible operations with up to 3,000 crates per hour, depending on the level of soiling. The washing process involves two distinct phases: an initial wash with cold water jets at 6 bar and a high-pressure wash at approximately 200 bar using mobile nozzles for thorough cleaning. This system excels in water conservation, employing an internal filtration setup that enables complete water recycling. The first wash utilizes a manually removable filter, while the second wash benefits from a self-cleaning system. Suitable for fruit and vegetable crates in food, agriculture, and horticulture industries, the UNI BOX WASH integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines and offers a sustainable solution for maintaining high standards of sanitation. With its 47 kW power requirement and 300 NI/min air consumption, it stands as a robust, resource-efficient choice for large-scale operations.

Benefits

  • Optimizes water use by reusing 100% of wash water, enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs.
  • Accommodates high-speed operations with a capacity of up to 3,000 crates per hour, boosting productivity.
  • Ensures flexible adaptation to variable crate conditions with selectable speed levels to match soiling intensity.
  • Lowers maintenance efforts and extends system life with self-cleaning filtration during the high-pressure wash phase.
  • Supports efficient manual loading and unloading, minimizing setup times in diverse production environments.
