Pallet and Dolav Washing Applications

Pallet and Dolav washing systems are used across a wide range of food and beverage operations where reusable containers are part of daily production workflows, including:

  • Meat and poultry processing facilities sanitizing blood bins, combo bins, and ingredient pallets
  • Produce operations washing bulk Dolav containers and harvest totes
  • Dairy and ice cream plants cleaning raw material transport pallets and reusable boxes
  • Seafood processing facilities removing residue from insulated containers and pallet boxes
  • Bakery operations washing mixing pallets, trays, and ingredient containers
  • Beverage producers cleaning syrup pallets, ingredient bins, and returnable containers

Proper pallet and Dolav washing improves sanitation consistency, extends container life, and supports smooth material flow throughout the facility.

Important Considerations When Selecting Pallet and Dolav Washing Solutions

Choosing the right pallet or Dolav washing system starts with understanding your facility’s production demands and sanitation requirements. Key factors to evaluate include:

  • Cleaning intensity required for light rinsing versus removal of heavy soils like fats, proteins, or powders
  • Container compatibility based on pallet and Dolav size, material, and design
  • Throughput requirements for batch washing versus continuous or tunnel washing systems
  • Water and chemical usage efficiency, including filtration and recirculation options
  • Ease of operation and maintenance with accessible components and intuitive controls
  • Compliance with food safety standards such as FDA, USDA, and other applicable regulations

A properly specified system ensures effective cleaning while supporting long-term operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet and Dolav Washing Systems

  • What is a Dolav washer, and how does it work?

    A Dolav washer is designed to clean large pallet boxes commonly used in food processing. These systems use high-pressure spray nozzles, heated water, and detergents to remove residue and sanitize containers efficiently.

  • Can pallet washers handle different pallet sizes?

    Many pallet washers can be adjusted or customized to accommodate various pallet and Dolav dimensions. System selection depends on container size range and throughput needs.

  • How long does a typical wash cycle take?

    Cycle times vary based on soil level and system design. High-efficiency systems can often complete wash and rinse cycles in under two minutes per container.

  • Are pallet and Dolav washers difficult to install or operate?

    Most systems are designed for straightforward installation and daily operation. Sanicore Systems supports setup, training, and startup to ensure smooth integration.

  • Do you offer automated or continuous pallet washing systems?

    Yes. For high-volume operations, automated tunnel washers and continuous systems are available to support nonstop container processing.
