Puck Washer
Pucks (custom-molded product carriers) are often used in production lines to stabilize otherwise unstable products and/or minimize production changeover between products by utilizing a common product base. Over time, pucks become dirty from a combination of spilled liquids and dust. This dirt and grime build-up could lead to the staining and marring of new products, as well as automation fouling contributing to line downtime.
Many industries choose to wash pucks manually, sacrificing valuable production time to clean stubborn grime. The Simplimatic® Puck Washer saves companies valuable time by cleaning more than 20 pucks in a two-minute cleaning-cycle time (based on a 6 in. puck size). This machine is approximately 10 ft and features four cleaning cycles which include a pre-wash zone, soak zone, final-rinse zone, and a dry zone.
The Simplimatic Puck Washer is designed to alleviate the dirt and grime surrounding puck use; eliminate manual puck washing labor; automate in-line puck cleaning; clean pucks using a 4-stage process; clean with high-flow, high-temperature nozzles; and utilizes an internal water tank for convenience.
