Washing systems for pallets
Pallet washing systems for the industry
Pallet washing systems are used in industry wherever pallets - usually those made of plastic (H1) - need to be cleaned after use in order to be reused. This is particularly necessary in production operations, where strict hygiene regulations have to be complied with, for example in the foodstuff industry or the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. To a lesser extent, however, this also applies to businesses that produce food for the end consumer, for example industrial bakeries and industrial kitchens as well as in agricultural large-scale businesses. The extent to which the installation of a pallet washing system is worthwhile compared to manual cleaning depends on the volume of contaminated pallets, that is the company size.
In addition, systems for washing pallets are also used in complex production operations of the industry where there is a high volume of logistical use making regular cleaning of the pallets necessary. This applies to parts of the automotive industry, for example, but also for other ones. In the field of pallet washing systems, we at Mohn offer both systems that are intended purely for washing pallets and those that are intended for pallets and containers (e.g. boxes). The cleaning of pallets and containers must be carried out separately, however.
Pallet washing system without prewash zone
Die Palettenwaschanlagen ohne Vorwaschzone bieten wir sowohl in vertikaler wie in horizontaler Ausführung an. Diese Palettenwaschanlagen sind allein für die Reinigung von Kisten und Paletten gedacht. Unsere Modelle haben je nach Ausführung eine Durchlaufquote von bis zu 500 Kisten (zweispurig) bzw. 120 Paletten (einspurig) pro Stunde.
Pallet washing system with prewash zone
The pallet & container washing systems with prewash zone are designed for cleaning heavily soiled pallets and transport containers and are available exclusively in horizontal design. Depending on the model, the capacity of the pass-through washing systems amounts to a maximum of 1,200 boxes (two-track) or 150 H1 pallets (one-track) per hour.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION OF PALLET WASHING SYSTEMS
The standard basic design of pallet washing systems from Mohn consists of a completely double-walled, sound- and heat-insulated machine housing with a main wash zone and an integrated final rinsing zone, whereby this basic module can be supplemented by a prewash zone and a blower module for drying - depending on customer requirements. Depending on the version of the respectively pallet washing system used, the pallets are transported through the washing tunnel either vertically (standing) or horizontally (lying) via motor-driven endless chain belts. Pallet washing systems with vertical loading are suited exclusively for cleaning pallets. Our pallet washing systems with horizontal conveyor belt loading, on the other hand, can also clean containers and boxes on two tracks simultaneously. Therefore, pallet washing systems with horizontal loading are clearly more flexible, efficient and cost-saving when cleaning different items to be washed.
After an optional cleaning in the prewash zone, a hot water/cleaning agent mixture is injected via stainless steel nozzles in the main wash zone; the pallets (or also containers) are thoroughly cleaned here under pressure. In the subsequent final rinsing zone, the items to be washed are freed from residues of the cleaning solution using fresh water. The fresh water used here is then fed via a special filter system to the main wash tank and returned to the system's circulation system in order to work as sustainably and resource-efficiently as possible.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION FOR PALLET WASHING SYSTEMS
REQUIREMENT PLANNING FOR INDUSTRIAL WASHING SYSTEMS

In case of changing a hygiene concept or setting up a new production facility, planning of the necessary hygiene measures is extremely important. This also includes the requirement planning for industrial washing systems as well as their installation at a suitable place. As specialists with a 20-year experience, we readily develop with you the needs for and the installation of the industrial washing systems for your operation. While doing so, we keep an eye on new developments with the legal hygiene regulations. In the process, the planning is therefore so important, because every business places unique requirements to industrial washing systems which have to be coped with.
The most important general factors include:
- the amount of materials to be cleaned as well as their sizes and assumed future developments
- the assumed level of pollution and its persistence
- the requirements of the food regulatory authority in charge (hygiene regulations)
- individual operational requirements as well as spatial conditions
Pallet washing systems can be used meaningfully wherever regular cleaning of plastic pallets, mostly the Euro H1 pallet, is sensible or necessary. This particularly applies to the industrial areas mentioned below, which have to meet the high hygiene requirements. Of course, pallet washing systems can also be used meaningfully in large operations if regular cleaning of the pallets seems sensible there and the volume seems to be high enough.
