Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Throughput Range of Eight to One
150 to 1200 crates per hour across the range means the machine is matched to your line rather than to the middle of a catalogue. Crate washing is a bottleneck only when it is undersized.
SUS304 Throughout
The wash chamber lives in hot water and detergent all day. SUS304 is what keeps it serviceable rather than corroding at the weld lines.
Three Heating Options
Steam, electrical and hot water types are all available, so the machine connects to whatever utility the plant already runs.
Energy-Saving Operation
Energy use in a crate washer is dominated by heating the wash water. The design priority here is saving that energy across the shift.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Washing returnable milk product crates in a dairy
- Cleaning fruit crates before processing
- Washing bread crates in a bakery distribution operation
- Cleaning crates in a fruit juice production plant
- Beverage plants handling returnable transit packaging
- Food plants required to demonstrate crate hygiene
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Dairies Running Returnable Crates
Milk product crates cycle back into the plant continuously, and washing them is a food safety requirement rather than housekeeping.
Fruit Processors
Field crates arrive dirty. Washing them before the product enters the plant keeps soil out of the process area.
Bakery Distribution Operations
Bread crates are named as one of the crate types handled by this machine.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Crate Washing Limiting Line Speed
Capacity from 150 to 1200 crates per hour lets the washer be matched to the line rather than becoming its bottleneck.
Corrosion in the Wash Chamber
SUS304 construction is specified for constant exposure to hot water and detergent.
Heating Utility Not Available
Steam, electrical and hot water heating types cover whichever utility the plant has.

Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Count crates per hour at peak, not average, when specifying capacity.
Step 2
Choose the heating type from your available site utilities.
Step 3
Confirm crate dimensions and stacking so the conveyor and nozzles are set correctly.
Step 4
Plan detergent dosing and water change frequency into the hygiene schedule.
Step 5
Verify drainage capacity at the installation position before delivery.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Three heating types, chosen by what the plant already supplies.
| Steam Heating Type | Uses existing plant steam. Usually the lowest running cost where a boiler is already installed. |
|---|---|
| Electrical Heating Type | No steam supply required, simplest to install on a small or standalone line. |
| Hot Water Type | Uses an existing hot water supply, suited to plants with heat recovery already in place. |
