Container washer for canned food CAN WASH 1

This product is designed for the cleaning and sterilization of glass, metal and plastic cans, glasses and similar containers.

The conveyor washer can be designed individually for each type of packaging, making it ideal for cleaning, sterilizing and drying containers of various shapes and sizes. Inner and outer side processing can be carried out simultaneously, so the machine can be used to sterilize containers before filling with the product, as well as for the final rinsing and drying of the product-filled cans after autoclave.

The washing and sterilization cans machine can be programmed to work in either an automatic or semi-automatic mode, for any capacity. Depending on the type of container and the customer’s needs, the machine can perform in continuous mode for the following operations:

• pre-rinsing with clean water
• washing cans, using any detergents
• rinsing with clean water
• steam sterilization
• drying using compressed air

Principle of operation

Cans are loaded into the washer by the feed conveyor, inside which there is a mesh conveyor made of stainless steel. The conveyor speed is adjustable, so you can change the performance of the machine and the processing time at any stage.

Perfectly designed for the cleaning and sterilization of containers, CanWasher 1 has adjustable side limiters that allow for handling of cans with a variety of sizes.

In the first stage, cans are processed from top to bottom with a jet of high-pressure water or cleaning solution (optionally, with the detergent dosing system). In the second stage, they are rinsed with pure water, followed if necessary by steaming for sterilized cans and intensive drying with compressed air.

Control of the process of washing and sterilization of containers is carried out by means of the electronic control unit found on the logic controller, which allows the user to monitor, control and record various parameters, such as conveyor speed, temperature, the level of the cleaning solution supply tank and others factors.

The machine is designed to allow for easy disassembly, and for easy cleaning and maintenance; the top cover can be removed for easy access to internal components. The machine is made entirely of stainless steel AISI304, using European components.

Economic design

• The special design of this machine’s nozzles, feeding water under high pressure, means the lowest possible consumption of water.
• An optional system of dosed detergent feeding is available, to prevent changes in the concentration of cleaning solutions and to ensure optimum flow.
• Waste water can either be discharged into the sewage system or used for circuit cleaning, and a facility for the reuse of water or cleaning solution can be installed.

Advantages:

• High performance in a limited area
• Versatility of use in the selection of functions
• Flexible settings for different types of containers
• Continuity of the process, providing a unified, high quality treatment for all cans
• Economy in terms of use of energy, water and detergent
• Easy integration into any production process
