Important Considerations When Purchasing Basket and Tray Washing Equipment
Choosing the right washing system depends on your facility’s specific requirements. When evaluating basket and tray washers, consider the following:
- Type and size of items being washed: Different baskets, trays, and racks vary in size, shape, and material. Make sure the washer accommodates your equipment dimensions and cleaning needs.
- Wash cycle effectiveness: Look for systems with high-pressure nozzles, temperature control, and configurable wash and rinse cycles to remove fats, proteins, starches, and other residues.
- Production volume: Your washer should match the scale of your operation. Consider how many items need to be cleaned per hour and whether a batch or continuous washer is more suitable.
- Hygiene and regulatory compliance: Efficiency matters. Many modern machines use filtration and recirculation systems to reduce water and energy consumption, lowering operational costs over time.
- Water and energy use: Modern tray washers and rack washers are designed to be efficient. Systems with filtration and recirculation features help reduce operating costs.
- Ease of maintenance: Look for systems with accessible parts, self-cleaning features, and minimal downtime for scheduled maintenance.
