Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Designed for bins ranging from 200 to 1000 litres, commonly accommodating standard Eurobins or similar industrial containers.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for pumps and controls, alongside a compressed air supply for pneumatic functions.

Water consumption

Varies by cycle and bin size, but units of this type often feature efficient spray nozzles to minimise water usage.

Cycle time

A typical wash and rinse cycle for a bin of this class can range from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the level of soiling and programmed settings.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to ensure hygiene, corrosion resistance, and suitability for washdown environments.

Footprint

For a unit handling bins up to 1000 litres, the footprint typically requires a dedicated area, often around 2m x 2m, plus space for loading/unloading.

Operating pressure

Pneumatic systems typically operate on a compressed air supply of 6-8 bar, while water pressure for washing can range from 2-5 bar.
