Unitech - Used Unitech Sanitising Tunnel

Applications & Use Cases

• Sanitising food containers, trays, and small equipment in food processing plants.
• Disinfecting components and tools in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.
• Cleaning and sanitising returnable crates and bins in logistics and distribution centres.
• Sterilising laboratory glassware and instruments in research and development facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for continuous flow, processing items at speeds from 100 to 500 units per hour, depending on item size and dwell time.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on pump and heater elements.

Water connection

Requires a mains water connection for wash and rinse cycles, often with an option for hot water input.

Chemical dosing

Units of this type typically feature integrated or external chemical dosing pumps for precise application of sanitising agents.

Construction material

For this class of equipment, construction is almost exclusively stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

A sanitising tunnel's footprint can vary significantly, but typically ranges from 2 to 6 metres in length, with widths between 0.8 and 1.5 metres.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of items can typically be processed by a sanitising tunnel?
