Elpress EKW-7000 – Industrial Crate Washer

High-capacity industrial crate washer delivering up to 1,120 crates per hour with pre-wash, main wash, and rinse zones for continuous food production environments.

The Elpress EKW-7000 industrial crate washer is designed for high-throughput operations where hygiene, efficiency, and reliability are essential.

This continuous tunnel washing system allows crates and trays to pass through multiple cleaning stages in a single cycle. A pre-wash zone removes heavy contamination, followed by a high-pressure main wash to eliminate fats, proteins, and residues. The integrated rinse stage ensures all cleaning agents are removed, leaving crates ready for immediate reuse.

The system uses recirculated water to minimise consumption while maintaining consistent cleaning performance. Built from stainless steel, the EKW-7000 is designed for durability and ease of maintenance in demanding food production environments.

Its modular design allows for configuration with optional features such as blow-off drying, heating systems, and filtration units. This makes it suitable for integration into automated production lines.
