How it works
Controls
All cleaning steps are controlled by an Allen-Bradley PLC. Operators can select and start automatic wash cycles from the system’s PanelView interface or an optional remotely located push-button panel.
LOADING
The washer door doubles as a graded ramp for easy loading. Once loaded, the door carriage automatically inverts the vats more than 90° into the wash cabinet to support complete cleaning coverage and drainage.
Rotary Spray Assembly
Pressurized, heated water is delivered through a gear-driven rotating spray manifold with multiple nozzles, providing 360° coverage to thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the vat.
Automatic Reservoir Selection
Separate detergent and pre-rinse reservoirs allow cleaning solutions to be recirculated and reused, helping reduce water and chemical use while maintaining higher flow rates. A diverter plate automatically directs solution to the appropriate reservoir throughout the cleaning cycle.
