Industrial Tote Washer System

Advanced Tote Washing Technology

The DC20 Tote Washer features a sophisticated cradle-loading system. Soiled containers are simply positioned within the machine. Once loaded, the operator initiates the cleaning cycle with a simple push button, and the container is automatically transferred into the wash chamber for thorough cleaning.

The control panel’s intuitive HMI interface allows operators to select from multiple wash programs calibrated for containers with varying degrees of contamination – from light soil to heavy residue. This adaptability makes our tote washer machine suitable for facilities with diverse cleaning requirements.

Dual Surface Cleaning System

What sets the DC20 Tote Bin Washer apart from basic pressure washer systems is its comprehensive dual cleaning approach:

• Interior Cleaning: The internal surfaces of totes and bins are meticulously cleaned by a rotating stainless steel ball valve that delivers high-impact cleaning technology throughout the entire tote interior, effectively eliminating contamination.
• Exterior Cleaning: External surfaces benefit from our innovative travel jet pressure washer system that oscillates forward and backward within the wash chamber. This system uses recirculated hot water and cleaning chemicals from the wash tank to ensure complete soil removal from all external surfaces.

Once the cleaning cycle completes, the freshly cleaned totes can be easily removed from the machine and are ready for immediate use or storage.

Advanced Dual-Stage Rinse System

The DC20 Tote Washing System features a sophisticated two-stage rinse process that far surpasses manual cleaning methods, providing superior cleaning and sanitation.

• The first stage delivers a hot water rinse at 185°F supplied from a dedicated tank via a high-pressure pump, providing thermal sanitation.
• The second stage applies a cold water rinse with a sanitizer chemical additive from a separate tank, ensuring complete chemical sanitation.

The tote washer can be programmed to run both rinse cycles in sequence or operate either rinse as a standalone process, giving operators maximum flexibility based on specific cleaning needs and container types.

Automatic Chemical Management

To maintain consistent cleaning performance, the DC20 is equipped with an advanced chemical dosing system that can be configured to work from either:

• A conductivity probe housed in the wash tank for real-time concentration monitoring
• A timed-dose basis for predetermined cleaning protocols

Our tote washers are engineered to work with industrial caustic chemicals as standard, providing the cleaning power needed for challenging soils in food processing and industrial environments.

Manual Cleaning Alternative

We also offer our heavy-duty vat wash tilter for operations with space constraints or a more economical solution. These units occupy less floor space but require more manual intervention to complete the cleaning process—ideal for smaller facilities or those with lower-volume cleaning requirements.

Industry Safety Standards

Our industrial tote washer machines incorporate numerous standard safety features, ensuring operator protection and compliance with industry safety standards.

• Electrical interlocked doors
• Emergency stop push buttons
• Remote control operator station (wall or pedestal mounted)
• Double-skinned heated rinse tank to protect operators from burns

These safety measures ensure operator protection while maintaining efficient cleaning operations.

Hygienic Design Principles

Like all industrial washing solutions from CM Process Solutions, the DC20 Tote Bin Washer is constructed using proven hygienic design principles. This careful engineering eliminates potential bacteria and pathogen breeding zones, which is essential for food processing operations where contamination prevention is critical.

Customizable Cleaning Solutions

We can tailor our tote washing equipment to your specific needs. Many of our machines can be integrated with additional options to effectively clean different tote types, bins, buggies, trays, or storage tanks. While our standard tote washer is ideal for plastic totes and stainless steel containers, it’s not recommended for specialized applications like solvent distillation systems or water-based cleaning solvent processes, which require custom cleaning solutions.
