The starting point for the project was the replacement of a continuous-flow washing system that had been in use since 2000. The new solution was intended to continue the tried-and-tested cleaning of the metal sheets, baskets, moulds and other equipment used in the plant, whilst at the same time meeting higher standards in terms of cleaning performance, system availability and blow-dry efficiency.

Particular attention was paid to the cut-out sheets. These are fed through the system with their openings facing upwards. Due to their geometry, the cleaning nozzles must be able to reliably reach the internal surfaces and edges in particular. Compared with the previous design, the cleaning of these sheets was therefore to be significantly more thorough and uniform.
