The machine is pass-through tunnel machine and is designed to clean block molds for cheese. It consists of zones for pre-washing, main washing, pre-rinsing and rinsing.

Pre-washing and washing processes are performed in identical way – by centrifugal pumps and adjustable (by hand) nozzles. The water in both tanks is heated by built-in heat exchangers for indirect heating with steam. The desired water temperature can be adjusted between 30-60°C. The main washing tank is equipped with automatic dosing pump for dosing of the cleaning agent. Both tanks are equipped with manually cleaned filters for catching the bigger soils.

Rinsing is performed in two stages. The first one is pre-rinsing, where the molds are rinsed with circulating water – the zone has own tank, mounted under the zone, equipped with pump that leads the water to the nozzles. The tanks for pre-rinsing and pre-washing are interconnected. The last zone is for the second stage of the rinsing – rinsing with cold water from the general water supply. The water used in this zone is then led back in the pre-rinsing tank.

The molds are transported through the zones by two motor driven chains (transport speed is smoothly adjustable). The gear motor is equipped with sliding connector to prevent eventual injuries to the personnel.

The machine is designed to be washed by CIP system. After each pump there are cartridge filters and manometers signal if their pollution degree is too high. The machine is controlled by computerized control unit with touch screen panel. According to the client’s whishes the electrical panel and the touch screen panel are mounted next to the exit of the machine, on the right side.

The machine is made of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) and complies with the Council Directives 2006/42/ЕС and 2006/95/EC, and USDA regulations.
