Washing systems for large quantities of pallets with high energy efficiency levels.

Pallet washers

Automatic washing systems for pallets and shelves, highly versatile and flexible, suitable for all sectors of the market. The Colussi Ermes pallet and flatted washing systems have been designed to optimize production and guarantee efficiency, reaching exceptional performance levels in terms of the hygiene-sanitary profile.

Pallet washers
  • Flexible hourly washing capacity, from a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 300 pallets/hour.
  • Cabin operation with a single door or double “pass-through” doors, with centrifugal technology and tunnel operation for high capacity.
  • Possibility of washing pallets, even simultaneously, of different shapes and types, and of different heights and dimensions.

Pallet washing systems designed to remove even the most stubborn residue.

The pallet washing systems are fully automated and manufactured according to extremely high quality protocols which, thanks to particular high pressure systems are able to remove even the most stubborn residue.

Technology

  • TAILOR-MADE: the machine is designed, developed and configured for each individual customer, on the basis of their requests and requirements.
  • Structure in stainless steel with thick insulated panels to prevent the dispersion of heat produced by the pallet washing process. This technology offers a dual function: reduction in energy consumption and noise reduction.
  • Customized washing programs.
  • Washing programs designed to obtain maximum energy efficiency.
  • High pressure to remove all types of stubborn residue or dirt.
  • Advanced systems for the removal of water residue from the surfaces of the benches.
  • Responsible dosing of chemical solutions to protect the environment as well as the operators involved in the pallet washing operations.
  • Multiple water heating systems.
  • Significant savings of energy, water and detergent.
  • Reduction in maintenance costs and times.
  • Reliability and performance levels unchanged over time.
  • Constant and uninterrupted monitoring of the functions and critical parameters.
  • Interfacing with centralised monitoring systems compliant with HACCP standards and automatic feed systems of the equipment to be washed.
  • A special mechanical system allows the top part of the tunnel to be raised allowing easy cleaning and maintenance operations and full inspection.

Features

  • Structure in stainless steel.
  • Prime quality raw materials.
  • Selection of materials responding to extremely high standards (pharmaceutical).
  • State-of-the-art technological systems for the extraction of fumes.
  • Innovative filtering systems.
  • Rotating filter for the continuous removal of large residue produced by the washing cycle.

Options

  • Pre-wash cycles for the most stubborn residue.
  • CIP (Clean In Place) self-washing program which preserves and purifies the production lines of organic and inorganic contaminants. CIP is a self-washing automatic system for all circuits, walls and key points of the machine which does not require disassembly. This is carried out through the introduction of detergent fluids at a specific pre-set concentration, pressure and temperature and constantly monitored, followed by careful washing and sanitization.
  • Drying system using a new technology designed and developed by Colussi Ermes able to combine optimal drying capacity with minimum consumption. Pallet drying with traditional or centrifugal methods.
  • Constant monitoring of all parameters in compliance with HACCP standards (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). This program allows the operator to have full control of the critical points to ensure hygiene.
  • Automated movement, stacking and destacking systems, including loading and unloading.
  • “Ready to Use” program for immediate system operation at the start of the shift.
  • Removal of adhesive labels.

Applications

Pallet and flatted washing systems, customized to meet any requirements or technical/production needs:

  • Small cabins with a single door which offer ad hoc washing cycles for limited quantities of pallets, ensuring maximum hygiene safety standards.
  • Medium sized cabins with a single door or double doors, stand-alone or in-line, to wash larger quantities of pallets, also with a centrifugal system.
  • Large-scale innovative high-tech multi-phase tunnels, for industrial use, suitable for hourly washing cycles of up to 300 pallets/hour. This amount can be easily doubles by adding a second machine.
