HYGIENIC CRATE / TRAY / BASKET WASHING SYSTEMS FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY

brüel container washing plants fulfil the most demanding requirements for capacity, efficiency, hygiene, energy consumption and environmental protection. This applies to all sectors of the food industry - whether it concerns plastic crates for fruit and vegetables, bakery products, fresh fish and meat, dairy products or beverages - and also the pharmaceutical industry. Whenever appropriate Bruel works closely with its customers to incorporate its washing plants into a HACCP system that the company may be operating as part of its overall food hygiene management system

BRÜEL CRATE / TRAY / BASKET WASHING AND DRYING PRINCIPLES

Six basic principles ensure optical and bacteriological cleanliness of the containers to be washed as well as the economical operation of brüel container washing plants:

• Low washing temperatures prevent the 'baking-on' of albumen food products on the container surface and also minimise energy consumption
• Long soaking cycles ensure effective dissolving of dirt and efficient use of detergent
• High cleaning pressures and large quantities of water ensure thorough cleaning
• Self-cleaning filter systems assure trouble free service and avoid blockage of spray nozzles
• Efficient water management systems lower water and energy consumption and help to safeguard the environment
• Turbomatic drying systems provide highly efficient drying of containers. The water is blown off leaving the container free of stains
