Rutland Sanitiser tunnel

• Sanitising packaged food products before secondary packaging or dispatch.
• Disinfecting trays, crates, or small components in food production lines.
• Applying sanitising solutions to fresh produce in certain processing stages.
• Ensuring hygiene compliance for items entering cleanroom environments within food facilities.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred to a few thousand items per hour, depending on product size and dwell time.

Power supply

Units like this commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

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

Sanitisation method

Most units utilise spray nozzles to apply liquid sanitising agents, often followed by a rinse or air knife drying section.

Operating temperature

These systems typically operate at ambient temperatures, though some may incorporate heated water or drying sections.

Control system

Commonly features include variable speed control for the conveyor and adjustable spray pressure, often managed via a simple HMI or control panel.

• What types of sanitising agents can be used?

  These tunnels are generally compatible with a range of liquid sanitising agents, including chlorine-based solutions, peracetic acid, and quaternary ammonium compounds. Compatibility should always be confirmed with the chemical supplier and equipment manufacturer.

• Is installation complex for a unit like this?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Can this equipment handle different product sizes?

• Are spare parts readily available for sanitiser tunnels?

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.
