DANTECH SANITISING TUNNEL

• Sanitising packaging or containers before filling in food processing.
• Disinfecting tools and small equipment in pharmaceutical production.
• Sterilising components in high-care food environments.
• Cleaning trays and crates in logistics and distribution centres.
• Decontaminating items in laboratories and research facilities.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly by conveyor speed and product size; for this class of equipment, typically designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with control circuits at lower voltages.

Footprint

For a tunnel of this type, the overall length can be several metres, with a width to accommodate the tunnel opening plus service access.

Water consumption

Units with re-circulating systems typically minimise water usage, often requiring periodic top-ups and system refills.

Operating temperature

Typically ambient for sanitising, though some systems may incorporate heated water or drying.

Construction material

Almost exclusively stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, nozzle inspection, filter changes, and pump maintenance are typically required for optimal performance.

• What types of sanitising agents can be used?

  This type of tunnel is generally compatible with a range of liquid sanitising agents, including chlorine-based solutions, peroxides, and quaternary ammonium compounds. Compatibility should always be confirmed with the manufacturer.

• Is an air knife assembly common on these units?

• What does a re-circulating system imply for operation?

• Can this equipment be integrated into an existing production line?

• What are the typical safety features?

Food processing washing and sanitizing equipment holds a strong reputation for delivering consistent hygiene standards across commercial operations. Buyers typically prioritise stainless steel construction, corrosion resistance, and validated sanitation cycles when selecting used units. Key strengths include reliability, durability through repeated daily use, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours equipment from established manufacturers known for robust design. Careful inspection of seals, spray mechanisms, and electrical components remains essential before purchase to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
