How it Works
2. Loading
1. Controls All cleaning steps are controlled by an Allen- Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The operator is able to select and initiate automatic wash cycles from a PanelView operator interface on the control panel or a remotely located push button panel.
• The door acts as a graded ramp for easy loading. • The door carriage assembly inverts the vats into the wash cabinet using pneumatic cylinders connected to pivot arms. The vats are inverted greater than 90°
for complete cleaning coverage and drainage.
3.
Rotary Spray Assembly
The spray system applies pressurized, heated water through a gear-driven rotating spray manifold with a series of nozzles. It provides 360° coverage to thoroughly clean the vat's interior and exterior.
4. Automatic Reservoir Selection Segregated detergent and pre-rinse reservoirs save chemical costs. Recirculation allows increased flow rates, while minimizing water use. A diverter plate provides automatic reservoir selection.
Cycle Steps
1. Pre-Rinse Step • The pre-rinse cycle removes heavy soils prior to the detergent cycle. This step reduces the amount of chemicals needed to remove soils. • Water recovered from the previous final rinse cycle is drawn from the reservoir tank, heated, and recirculated using a sanitary centrifugal pump.
2. Wash Step • Detergent cleaning is initiated through the rotating spray assembly and operates for a preprogrammed cycle. • Detergent is continuously heated and recirculated, saving chemicals and ensuring a consistent repeatable process.
3. Final Rinse Step • The final rinse cycle uses fresh water through a separate final rinse manifold and nozzle system for complete coverage of interior and exterior surfaces. Final rinse water is diverted to the pre-rinse reservoir to freshen the water for the next pre-rinse cycle. • Soil is diverted over the tray strainer in the detergent reservoir for removal.
