In modern food processing production lines, turnover crates play a critical role in connecting production, storage, and logistics. Their cleanliness is not just an operational requirement—it is a frontline defense for food safety compliance. Any residual grease, food debris, or microbial contamination on crates can directly compromise product hygiene, leading to quality risks, regulatory non-compliance, and potential brand damage.
Traditional manual crate cleaning methods—such as cloth wiping or high-pressure water gun rinsing—are increasingly unable to meet the strict hygiene, efficiency, and standardization requirements of modern food factories. The Automatic Crate Washer Machine redefines the cleaning process through automation, becoming a core piece of equipment for food processing plants seeking compliant production, cost reduction, and operational efficiency.
Manual crate cleaning poses multiple hidden risks in food processing environments:
Incomplete cleaning of corners, grids, and gaps
Accumulation of grease and food residues over time
High risk of bacterial growth and cross-contamination
Inconsistent cleaning quality depending on operator habits
Excessive water consumption and labor cost
These limitations make it difficult for factories to maintain stable, repeatable sanitation standards, especially under HACCP, GMP, and export food safety regulations.
The food factory crate washer machine is designed with a multi-stage intelligent cleaning system, ensuring thorough and standardized washing results.
High-pressure spray nozzles are strategically arranged to deliver 360-degree full-coverage cleaning, allowing water jets to penetrate every grid, corner, and surface of the crate. Even stubborn grease, protein residues, and dried contaminants can be effectively removed.
When combined with food-grade detergents, the system quickly breaks down oil and organic residues, restoring crates to hygienic condition.
The washing system supports precise water temperature control. High-temperature washing not only improves cleaning efficiency but also provides physical sterilization, significantly reducing microbial load.
After washing, crate surface microbial indicators can reach levels well below industry standards, providing strong assurance for food safety production.
Food processing plants use a wide variety of turnover containers, including:
Plastic crates
Metal baskets
Foldable crates
Frozen food trays
A one-size-fits-all solution often fails to meet real production needs. This industrial crate washer adopts a modular design concept, allowing customization of:
Washing tunnel length
Washing width
Conveyor height
Spray pressure zones
Whether handling greasy meat processing crates or soil-contaminated fruit and vegetable baskets, the machine can be configured for targeted and effective cleaning.
Designed for continuous industrial operation, the automatic crate washer delivers outstanding productivity.
Cleaning capacity: 1,500–2,000 crates per hour
Equivalent to 20–30 manual workers
Stable output regardless of shift length
Operators only need to place crates onto the infeed conveyor. The system automatically completes the entire process, including:
Pre-washing
Main washing
Rinsing
Drying
This dramatically reduces manual intervention and labor dependency.
The integrated intelligent conveyor system ensures smooth and stable crate transport throughout the washing process. Crates are automatically aligned, washed, and discharged, minimizing handling damage and ensuring consistent results.
This automated workflow improves overall production line efficiency and helps standardize sanitation management.
Sustainability and cost control are increasingly important in modern food factories. The new-generation crate washer features a closed-loop water circulation system, delivering significant environmental and economic benefits:
Multi-stage filtration and purification of wastewater
Reuse of filtered water for pre-washing stages
Over 70% water savings compared to manual washing
Reduced wastewater discharge
This design supports green production goals and helps enterprises comply with environmental regulations.
The entire machine is constructed from SUS304 food-grade stainless steel, ensuring:
Excellent corrosion resistance
Long service life in humid environments
Easy cleaning and maintenance
Compliance with food safety standards
All food-contact areas are smoothly polished to prevent residue buildup and bacterial growth.
The crate washer is engineered for daily industrial use with minimal maintenance effort:
Open-access structure for inspection
Removable spray arms and filters
Smooth internal surfaces for quick cleaning
Reduced downtime between shifts
This helps factories maintain strict hygiene protocols while controlling operational costs.
