The T1000 is a single lane continuous type tunnel washer which Is designed for medium to large sized operations in industries such as food production, poultry and meat plants, bakeries, or distribution center’s.
Its designed to wash a whole range of containers such as plastic trays, meat lugs, sheet pans, bakery trays, lidded boxes, buckets, or medical waste containers.
The T1000 is a three-tank machine and is supplied with an ambient cold water prewash a heated re-circulated chemical wash, a re-circulated high temperature rinse at 185°F and ends with a fresh water sanitizing chemical rinse, its ideally suited to high care applications where further temperature and chemical sanitizing processes are required.
Operational Design
A soiled tray or container is loaded on to the infeed of the wash tunnel and gently pushed into the machine where a stainless-steel chain type conveyor with lugs picks up the tray and conveyors it through the machine at a speed selected by the operator.
The trays are conveyed through three dedicated re-circulated tanks, the first tank Is a re-circulated cold-water prewash which assists in removing any bulk product or fatty proteins the second tank is a heated wash tank complete with an automatic chemical dosing system which works from a conductivity probe which monitors the chemical concentration.
The third tank is a re-circulated high temperature hot water rinse at 185°F designed to give a heated sanitizer rinse.
Water is pumped from all three tanks by stainless steel head pumps to a set of dedicated wash and rinse manifolds positioned 360° around the soiled tray, food grade curtains in the wash tunnel separate all three zones preventing splash over from each tank, conductive level probes are fitted in all tanks where the water level is maintained and automatically filed where needed.
Filtration is achieved by a set of double removable filter type drawers installed in each tank, as an option the filtration can be upgraded to our automatic rotary filter unit.
A fresh water final rinse with a sanitizer chemical additive doser is also installed which gives a chemical rinse should this be required, if needed this can be isolated.
Heating
Various types of heating can be utilized on the T1000 tunnel washer, electrical immersion type heaters, steam by means of indirect steam plate exchangers, direct steam by injectors or finally gas heating by heavy duty coils fitted within the wash tank.
