Industrial crate washers are indispensable equipment in the food processing industry, which can efficiently clean all kinds of crates where food products are stored. However, during long-term operation, the equipment may encounter some common problems. In this article, we will discuss several common problems, and provide appropriate solutions to help operators quickly troubleshoot to ensure that the equipment continues to operate efficiently.
Poor cleaning: why is the crate still dirty?
Cause: Poor cleaning results are usually related to several factors, the most common reasons include low water temperature, insufficient spray pressure or improper concentration of cleaning agent. Grease, food residue and other dirt in the crate require high temperatures and pressures to completely remove.
Solution:
- Check the plastic crate washer's water temperature setting to ensure that the water temperature is high enough to effectively dissolve the dirt.
- Check the water pressure to ensure that the nozzles are not clogged and that the jet pressure is sufficient.
- Ensure that the cleaning agent is in the correct ratio. If the concentration of detergent is too low, it may result in unsatisfactory cleaning results.
- Check the nozzles and filters regularly to avoid poor water flow due to clogging, which may affect the cleaning effect.
Machine fails to start or stops abnormally during operation
Cause: The industrial crate washer cannot start or stops in the middle of operation, which may be due to power failure, overheating of the motor, or problems with the control system. The failure of the electrical part will directly affect the normal operation of the machine.
Solution:
- Check the power connection to make sure the cables and sockets are not loose or damaged.
- Check the motor and control panel for fault indicator lights or error codes.
- If the motor is overheating, check the cooling system to make sure it is well ventilated or the water temperature is appropriate.
- Check the electrical system regularly to avoid wear and tear and deterioration caused by long-term operation.
Clogging of nozzle or cleaning arm
Cause: After prolonged use, the nozzle and cleaning arm may become clogged due to the accumulation of food residue or other solids, resulting in much less effective cleaning.
Solution:
- Clean the nozzles regularly and use a special cleaning tool to remove residues.
- If you are using a filtered water system, check and clean the filter regularly to prevent impurities from accumulating and causing poor water flow.
- Regular inspection of the cleaning arm to ensure its normal operation, to avoid the overall cleaning effect due to poor movement.
Summarize
Industrial crate washer as an important equipment in the food processing industry, its routine maintenance is crucial. Through regular inspection and timely troubleshooting, you can ensure that the equipment runs efficiently and stably, and improve production efficiency and cleaning quality. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, it is recommended that you contact professional technicians for maintenance in a timely manner.
