SS Engineers & Consultants’ Milk Can Washer is a hygienic, high-throughput system purpose-built for aluminum and stainless-steel milk cans used across dairy collection and processing. Manufactured in SS304/316 with food-grade seals and sanitary welds, it reliably removes butterfat, protein films, whey solids, milkstone (calcium), lactose/sugar residues, and biofilm to safeguard product quality and compliance.
The washer employs a multi-zone process—pre-rinse → alkaline/detergent wash → final rinse → optional hot-rinse/steam sanitization at 82–85 °C—with internal and external high-impact spray patterns. Closed-loop filtration and recirculation minimize water, chemical, and energy consumption while delivering consistent, microbiologically safe results.
Core features include CIP-ready tanks with filtration, automatic chemical dosing, inline temperature control, automatic can inversion for complete drainage, targeted neck/bottom jetting, easy-access maintenance doors, and hygienic sloped surfaces for full runoff. PLC/SCADA automation with recipe management supports multiple can sizes and materials (e.g., 20 L / 40 L, SS or aluminum) and provides audit-friendly cycle logging.
As part of the SS Engineers ecosystem, the Milk Can Washer integrates seamlessly with our crate washers, conveyors, and packing lines for end-to-end dairy hygiene. Optional air-knife blow-off, heat-recovery, and conductivity/TDS-based dosing controls further reduce OPEX and turnaround time. The design complies with HACCP, FSMS, and GMP standards and is backed by our application engineering, commissioning, and after-sales support.
- SS304/316 hygienic construction with sanitary welds, wash-down design, and full-drain geometry
- Continuous conveyor with indexed can carriers/lugs, automatic inversion, and synchronized infeed/outfeed to upstream washers/fillers
- Multi-zone cleaning: pre-rinse → alkaline/detergent wash → final rinse → optional hot-rinse/steam sanitization (82–85 °C)
- Internal & external spray manifolds with targeted neck/bottom jetting; drip/dwell zones ensure complete drainage and better drying efficiency
- Recipe-based PLC/SCADA programs for 20 L/40 L cans (SS or aluminum) with VFD conveyor speed control, jam detection, and cycle logging
- Inline filtration, conductivity/TDS-based auto-dosing, water/heat recovery, and optional air-knife blow-off for lower OPEX and rapid turnaround
