Crate Washer
SS Engineers & Consultants offer advanced, professional-grade washing systems designed for automobile storage
bins, trays, and crates. Our crate washers are engineered with precision using SS304/316 construction, ensuring
maximum hygiene, corrosion resistance, and long operational life. Equipped with high-pressure spray nozzles,
multi-zone washing chambers, and adjustable conveyor speed, these machines effectively remove oil stains,
grease, carbon deposits, and automotive residues.
Integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems reduce downtime and minimize water and chemical consumption, while
energy-efficient pumps and blowers ensure optimized performance. The design also incorporates easy-access
maintenance panels, ergonomic loading/unloading, and PLC-based automation for seamless operation. With decades
of expertise, SS Engineers delivers robust, customizable washing solutions that align with international
automotive hygiene standards, making them the preferred choice for high-volume crate and bin cleaning
applications.
