Anglia Autoflow - 1995 Anglia Autoflow Sanitising tunnel

• Sanitising trays, crates, and containers in food processing environments.
• Washing and disinfecting components in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
• Cleaning returnable transit packaging in logistics and distribution centres.
• Pre-cleaning or post-cleaning stages in high-care manufacturing facilities.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is highly variable, depending on item size and desired contact time, but commonly ranges from 500 to 2000 items per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V or 415V, with appropriate amperage for pumps and heating elements.

Construction material

Most industrial sanitising tunnels are constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Heating method

Water heating for sanitisation is commonly achieved via electric elements, steam injection, or indirect heat exchangers.

Water consumption

Water consumption varies significantly based on cycle design and recirculation systems, but buyers should consider typical usage for their operational costs.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, overall length can range from 2m to over 5m, with widths typically between 1m and 2m, depending on belt width and chamber size.

• What types of items can this tunnel sanitise?

  Sanitising tunnels are designed for a wide range of items, including plastic crates, trays, bins, and certain types of components, provided they fit within the aperture and can be conveyed.

• Does it include a drying function?

• What chemicals are typically used?

• What maintenance is required for a used sanitising tunnel?

• Can the sanitising temperature be controlled?

For food processing washing and sanitizing equipment, buyers typically value durability, ease of cleaning, and compliance with hygiene standards. Industry sentiment emphasizes the importance of verifying spray patterns, material quality, and maintenance history when purchasing used units. Stainless steel construction and reliable pump performance are considered key strengths. Buyers should check for corrosion, seal condition, and documentation of regular servicing to ensure food safety compliance.
