Compared With The Alternatives

Manual crate washing	Manual washing works at low volume but consumes labour and gives inconsistent results; the machine gives the same wash to every crate.
Steam versus electrical heating	Steam heating is the economical choice where a boiler already runs; electrical heating avoids running a steam line to the wash area.
