Pallet Washer

Pallet Washing Machine

The pallet washer is an industrial washing machine designed to clean pallets. It can automatically de-stack, wash, disinfect, dry, and stack pallets, effectively reducing costs while increasing cleaning efficiency.

Many industries use pallets to stack, transport, or store items, facilitating logistics tracking and protecting products from damage, such as food, pharmaceutical, farm, automotive, warehousing, and distribution centers. However, pallets are susceptible to contamination from dust, oil, chemicals, and other stains during use. So it's vital to keep pallets cleaned and sanitized regularly, which prevents the product from being harmed by stains, bacteria, and microorganisms and extends the pallet's life.

The industrial pallet washing machine effectively removes stains from the pallet surface, which takes less time and achieves better cleaning results than manual cleaning, saving energy and labor costs. Our pallet washer is tailor-made according to your requirements and meets different industries' cleaning standards. At present, we have the following two representative models.

1. PW-50

The PW-50 vertical pallet washer is compatible with many sizes of plastic, wood, or aluminum pallets, so you only need one machine to get the job done! It consists of a main wash zone and a fresh water rinse zone, which can clean up to 120 pallets per hour. After cleaning, the filtered water will returned to the water tank for recycling, effectively reducing water consumption.

As an entry-level model, the PW-50 has a low footprint and energy consumption, making it a good choice for factories with limited space.

2. PW-120 

As the ultimate model with a high degree of automation, the PW-120 pallet washing system offers higher washing and drying results than the PW-50, which is suitable for warehouses and logistics centers that handle a large capacity of pallets per day.

The system uses PLC control, allowing the operator to start all the work processes with a single click through the HMI. The operator only needs to drive a forklift to place a bunch of pallets on the conveyor belt, and the system will automatically complete all the work, effectively reducing the labor intensity.

The industrial pallet washer has a rotary filter that automatically discharges large impurities from the water tank. In addition, the wash and disinfection zones have separate water tanks, allowing most stains to stay in the cleaning area to prevent cross-contamination.

Q&A

(1) How do you heat the water in the tank? 

By default, the water in the tank is heated by an electric heater. If your facility has a boiler, steam heating will be a better option, as it can reach the set temperature in a shorter period.

(2) Can this machine remove flour and starch?

The washer can effectively remove starch and low-gluten flour. However, it doesn't work on wheat flour with a high gluten content because it will be very sticky as glue when it comes into contact with water.
