K234 HE / K474 IC

· Great capacity
· Standard pre-rinsing zone
· Compartment is easy to open
· For daily washing in the food industry
· Double Stainless Steel chain steering
· Many options possible
· Powerful pump for good result
· Expensive filter, for most part self cleaning; saving costly working hours
· Robust construction, easy to clean
· Washes crates of different dimensions and also plates, buckets, pallets and parts
· The K234 HE washes crates in their width. In combination with a longer washing tunnel this results in a long contact time. Effect is a good wash result

· The K474 IC washes crates in their length in a double row
· Great capacity: until 1250 crates / hour

Working method

The washing tunnel is divided into three sections: the pre-rinsing zone, the washing zone and the rinsing zone. In the pre-rinsing zone the crate is rinsed with cold water (3l/min) combined with compressed air, eliminating extreme pollution and foaming in the washing zone. This system saves water usage. In the washing zone the crate is intensively washed by a huge number of nozzles. The crate is been washed on top and bottom as well as on both sides. In the rinsing zone the crates are rinsed with clean water by a spraying pipe with nozzles. This zone uses around ten to sixteen litres water per minute. The rinsing water runs through a filter and will be recycled for refilling the water of the washing zone.
Using a self cleaning cassette filter, the water is filtered very well before it will be recycled.

Movement

The unit is equipped with a double Stainless Steel chain. After being laid on the conveyor belt the crates are being moved forward. The chain contains ridges, making distance between the crates possible. The washing result can definitely be called excellent. One can adjust the speed of the chain to desired rpm regarding the pollution on the crates.

Washing results

The additional use of detergents or soaps will of course produce an even better washing result. That is why a detergent dose pump is optional. The pump injects a detergent according to the proportional system. Using this special principle makes the system more economical and reliable.

Temperature

The temperature of the cleaning water in the unit is adjustable at 40 – 65°C. The rinsing zone has to be fed with hot water from a boiler or a hot water booster. The water tank contains a small electrical element. The water in the tank will be warmed up and re-heated by this element. If the unit is not supplied with hot water, an electrical heating, a central heating exchanger or steam injection is optionally deliverable.

Nozzles

The nozzles are placed in such a way, the spraying reaches the in and outside of the crates good and equally. The nozzles are easy to clean. The same counts for the spraying pipe. Sprayers are adjustable.
