FTNON Sanitiser tunnel

• Sanitising trays, crates, and containers in fresh produce packing houses.
• Disinfecting components and tools in ready meal production facilities.
• Cleaning and sanitising small parts in bakeries and confectionery plants.
• Hygiene critical applications in dairy and beverage processing.
• Pre-treatment or final wash stages in various food manufacturing lines.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 100 to 500 items per hour, depending on item size and conveyor speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

Food processing sanitiser tunnels are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Water consumption

Water usage varies significantly with nozzle configuration and operational cycles, but units typically incorporate recirculation systems to minimise consumption.

Heating options

Many sanitiser tunnels feature options for heating the wash solution, commonly via electric elements or steam injection, to enhance cleaning efficacy.

Control system

Typically, these machines are equipped with a basic control panel for conveyor speed, temperature, and pump operation, often with variable speed drives.

• What types of sanitising agents can be used?

  This type of equipment is generally compatible with a range of food-grade sanitising chemicals, including chlorine-based, peracetic acid, and quaternary ammonium compounds. Buyers should confirm compatibility with the seller and their chemical supplier.

• Is installation complex for a sanitiser tunnel?

• How is maintenance typically performed on these units?

• Can this tunnel handle different sizes of items?

• What safety features are commonly found?

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.
