Crate washer

    The crate washers from Elpress make sure that all the dirt on the crate, such as proteins, blood residues, fasts, sticker and glue residues and dried-on dirt, is removed using a powerful washing solution and high pressure water in a single wash cycle. This also removes the dirt that is invisible to your employees.

    Doubling capacity with a double crate washer

    The ECW crate washers are also available in a double version. By adding a second line, you double the capacity of the crate washer. This results in a capacity ranging from 2,240 to 5,600 crates per hour, depending on the version and crate type.

    These double crate washers are constructed, just as single versions, of solid stainless steel sheets and sections, and are placed on adjustable feet. The crates are transported through the system by a plastic transport chain.

    The functionalities of these crate washers are the same as the single versions. Characteristic of this line are the sloping roofs that ensure no water remains on the roof of the crate washer. With an advanced control system, you have better insights into the process and communication with the crate washer.

    Adding to crate washers later on

    Have you purchased a crate washer to wash a certain number of crates per hour or per day, but your business is growing? A crate washer can be expanded at any time in the future. However: there is a ‘but’ here.

    Adding to a crate washer requires a considerable ‘alteration’ of the machine. So expanding a crate washer is also time-intensive and a relatively big investment. Learn more about increasing the capacity of the crate washer.
