Syspal Sanitising Tunnel

• Sanitising trays, crates, and containers in food processing environments.
• Disinfecting equipment parts and tools before reassembly or use.
• Ensuring hygiene standards for packaging materials in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
• Cleaning and sanitising returnable transit packaging in logistics and distribution centres.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly by model, but units of this type commonly process hundreds to thousands of items per hour, depending on item size and desired contact time.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on pump power and heating elements.

Construction material

Units for this application are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Water heating

Many sanitising tunnels incorporate electric or steam heating elements to maintain optimal water or chemical solution temperatures.

Chemical dosing

Units typically feature integrated or external chemical dosing pumps for precise application of detergents and sanitisers.

Conveyor type

Commonly uses a modular plastic belt or stainless steel chain conveyor, designed for easy cleaning and chemical resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions can vary widely, but typically range from 2 to 6 metres in length, with widths around 1 to 1.5 metres.

• What items can typically be processed through a sanitising tunnel?

  These tunnels are designed for items such as plastic crates, trays, bins, and smaller equipment components that can be conveyed through the wash and rinse zones. The maximum item size is limited by the tunnel's internal dimensions.

• What type of sanitising agents can be used?

• Are these tunnels suitable for high-care food environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a sanitising tunnel?

• Can the water 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.
