Euro Pumps

Tub Cleaning Systems (Crate Washing Systems)

Our tub cleaning systems (also known as crate washing systems) are fully equipped with rails for tubs, lids and chicken baskets, and powerful electric in-feed drives with speed control to handle all tub cleaning requirements.

At the heart of the system is a Europumps drive pump (available in a Lima 250/58 with a 30kW motor, or Lima 200/58 with 22kW motor). Each pump is equipped with a star/delta starter, safety valve, stainless steel frame and guards. At full power, these pumps shift water at 58 litres per minute, so your tubs are cleaned effectively and efficiently.

Power and rinse nozzles dislodge even the toughest residues. The stainless steel foamer and rated pistol, with 25 metres of draw hose, are compatible with both acid and alkaline cleaning chemicals.

Our tub cleaners can handle any size of tub and are equipped with an onboard heat exchanger to ensure the pumps do not run dry. The reinforced mesh also offers enhanced safety.

The Europumps tub cleaning system has the following benefits:

1.    Speed
A single operator can clean tubs in as little as 9 seconds (a rate of about 400 per hour). Even when the cleaning load is upwards of 800 tubs per night, they can all be cleaned and ready for use within a four-hour cycle. With two operators even faster speeds can be achieved.

2.    Accuracy
Our crate washing system takes care of the more mundane aspects of the cleaning process, allowing the operator to focus on quality control. Any tub that is not perfectly clean is rejected, hand-corrected, and put back into the machine. Based on our experience, the average rejection rate is between 5% and 10%.

3.    Water and chemical savings
The automated cleaning system ensures that each tub is cleaned to standard using only 10 litres of water and 10ml of detergent (or 1litre per 100 litres). Tub cleaners can be fitted with a control system, which switches the machine off when there are no tubs passing through resulting in even greater water savings.

4.    Training and support
Our team of skilled technicians provide all the necessary training and support to ensure that you get the best results from your tub cleaner/crate cleaner.
