Dolav / Bulk Container Washing Machine

The dolav washer is a washing machine designed for the fast and efficient cleaning of plastic dolavs / pallet boxes / bulk containers. They can be built either as a stand-alone cabinet unit or for an automated in-line system.

Loading and unloading takes place by moving the containers onto the electrohydraulic lifting platform. The complete washing cycle is free adjustable depending on the nominal capacity and the degree of dirtiness, and consists out of two or three steps, (pre-washing), intensive washing and rinsing. The machine has two cycles: a washing cycle and a rinsing cycle. During the main wash cycle, the inside and outside of the container is cleaned by a rotating spray arm that has the option to include a mixture of detergents. The unique system rotates boxes through 360 degrees whilst washing inside, outside around the sides and base. Following to the main wash the dolav/big box is rinsed during the after rinse with clean water to remove the residual detergents. The rinsing cycle uses fresh water, directly fed from the hot water network in the building. This fresh rinsing water is filtered before flowing to the main wash tank. In this way the water is recycled, kept up to temperature and water and energy consumption are reduced. The Konek Technology cabin washer is standard equipped with a static filter which is manually removable for cleaning purposes.

It can be considered as a reliable and proven system thanks to its proven concept with a high standard on hygienic design, water, chemicals and energy consumption. As with all our wash equipment, the machines in this range incorporate our latest hygienic design principles. This not only minimises energy usage but it also reduces cleaning times.

Washing times and programs (depending on soiling) can be set on the PLC. Settings such as the temperatures can be simply changed using the touchscreen. As a customer, you are therefore able to tailor the machine to suit your specific requirements.
