- Typical throughput
- Crate washers for this class of equipment typically process between 100 and 500 crates per hour, depending on the model and wash cycle.
- Power supply
- Units commonly found on units of this type require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, with a heating element drawing significant power.
- Water consumption
- Water usage varies, but systems often feature recirculation with a fresh rinse, typically consuming 200-500 litres per hour depending on efficiency features.
- Heating method
- Wash water is commonly heated electrically, though steam injection or gas heating options can be found on larger or more specialised units.
- Construction material
- For hygiene and durability, crate washers are typically constructed from stainless steel, often AISI 304 or 316 for contact parts.
- Footprint
- The physical footprint of a crate washer can vary significantly, typically ranging from 2 to 6 metres in length for conveyorised models.
