IWM PROVIDES EFFICIENT WASHING FOR WASTE BINS
28/06/2012 Industrial Washing Machines Ltd
Consistent internal and external washing and sanitisation to the highest standards, combined with a throughput of up to 15 bins per hour and the ability to cope with heavy soiling make the new ECW cabinet-type bin washer from Industrial Washing Machines (IWM) an ideal choice for use in healthcare waste disposal and other similarly demanding applications.Designed for use with 1100 litre and 770 litre wheeled HDPE waste bins, the new machine feature semi-automatic loading and a fully automated wash/rinse cycle. Soiled bins are simply wheeled into position by the machine operator who then closes a safety gate and presses a pushbutton to complete loading. When loading is complete, the operator presses a second button to initiate the wash cycle.
The bin's external surfaces are cleaned by sustained jetting from bayonet type jets, while the interior of the bin is simultaneously cleaned by a rotary jet nozzle system that ensures the water jets reach all corners and crevices. Wash water and detergent are delivered at an accurately controlled temperature that can be set between 50ºC and 60ºC to suit customer requirements.
Washing is followed by a powered hot water rinse with water at 85ºC, or a rinse with mains water delivered at ambient temperature in combination with a chemical sanitising agent. If necessary, the user can select both sanitisation and hot water rinsing. All wastewater from the machine is filtered prior to discharge using a well-proven high-efficiency rotary filter system.
To ensure longevity of the machine, all key components are manufactured from high-grade T304 stainless steel, and the design has been optimised both to eliminate dirt traps and to allow for easy cleaning and maintenance. As with all IWM machines, careful attention has been given to optimising the use of energy, water and chemicals, ensuring that the new ECW bin washer will have low lifetime operating costs and minimal environmental impact.
The ECW bin washer is designed for floor mounting and features space-saving compact construction. It can be configured for steam heating of the wash and rinse water via a standard plate heat exchanger or for electrical water heating, according to user preference. The machine is supplied complete with all necessary control equipment valves and safety systems, and IWM offers a comprehensive installation and commissioning service.
