Rack / Trolley Washing Machine

Trolleys or racks are used to move plants around the nursery or to take them to other locations. Konek Technology trolley washing machines or trolley washing machines help you remove fungi, bacteria and diseases from your trolleys. A Konek Technology trolley washer or trolley washer keeps your trolleys clean, both visually and microbiologically. Whether you grow vegetables, fruit, flowers or other crops, the health of your products always has to come first, and clean trolleys or carts are an important basis for this. The high performance rack/trolley washers are designed and built by Konek Technology to give optimum cleaning of racks and trolleys. With the aid of advanced cleaning techniques we can wash all types of carts and trolleys quick and efficiently.

Our rack and trolley washers are supplied for pit or floor mounting. The stainless steel tank is designed to fit within the pit. Thanks to our concept for charging and discharging, a full separation between clean and contaminated area is possible.

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 e.g. pre-washing, intensive washing and rinsing. The washing program can be adapted to the kind and level of soil. Wash water is pumped through rotating spray arms fitted with high-velocity stainless steel V shape jets designed to cut and remove stubborn soils. The base and wheels are also subjected to high pressure jetting. This ensures that everything is properly washed, covering areas which are sometimes overlooked.

During the washing cycle the water is taken from the tank via the circulation pump and continuously recirculated through the filters of the washing installation. Filters collect debris and keep the nozzles from clogging. The Konek Technology rack washer is standard equipped with a static filter which is manually removable for cleaning purposes.

Konek Technology supply rack washers and trolley washers to the food and pharmaceutical industries. Each model can be customized to adapt it to the production needs and to the available space of each customer.

With PLC control these machines are very versatile as they can be used for crate washing, bin washing, trolley washing, component washing and any other items that need cleaning with hot, detergent water. (36)
