IWM SAN100 Sanitiser tunnel

• Sanitising trays, crates, and containers in high-care food production environments.
• Disinfecting components and tools in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.
• Ensuring hygiene standards for reusable packaging in logistics and distribution centres.
• Pre-treatment or post-treatment sanitisation in various industrial processes requiring stringent cleanliness.

Typical throughput

Throughput for sanitiser tunnels of this class typically depends on belt speed and product size, often ranging from 100 to 500 units per hour for standard crates.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on pump and heater elements.

Construction material

Industrial sanitiser tunnels are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Sanitisation method

This equipment typically uses a spray-based system with a sanitising solution, often recirculated to minimise chemical and water consumption.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a tunnel of this capacity typically includes the main tunnel body, a recirculation tank, and control panel, requiring adequate space for operation and maintenance access.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves checking nozzles, filters, pump performance, and sensor calibration, alongside regular cleaning of the tank and tunnel interior.

• What type of sanitising agents can be used with this equipment?

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

• Is this unit suitable for high-care food environments?

• What are the typical water and chemical consumption rates?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

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.
