FORCHEM MP 150 – industrial crate and parts tunnel washer
The FORCHEM MP 150 is an industrial tunnel washer for crates and returnable packaging that can also be configured to wash KLT containers, pallets, trays, blister inserts and production parts. The term “crate washer” describes a common application, not the limits of the machine.
The washing tunnel, conveyor, item guides and nozzles are designed around each application. Explore our tunnel washers and automation options.
The FORCHEM MP 150 is a modular industrial tunnel washing system. While a typical application is cleaning plastic or metal crates, its configuration can be adapted for other items used in food processing, logistics and manufacturing. It is not limited to washing crates.
Which items can an MP 150 system wash?
- Crates and KLT containers: standard and non-standard returnable packaging.
- Pallets: with tunnel dimensions, conveyor and guiding adjusted to the pallet design.
- Industrial trays and blister inserts: with positioning and fixtures selected for their geometry, recesses and drainage requirements.
- Components and manufactured parts: with appropriate positioning or fixtures to provide nozzle access.
Washing technology configured for your application
Depending on the task, we adapt the tunnel dimensions, conveyor layout and speed, item guides, nozzle positioning, process zones and operating settings. The pressure pump and stainless-steel construction support demanding industrial use. Washing parameters are selected for the item's material, contamination and cleanliness target; pre-washing or additional process steps may be required for some applications.
The MP 150 is the base washing configuration. If the process also requires drying, consider the MP 150S with one drying module or the MP 150 2S with two drying modules. Automated handling can also be assessed.
The specifications table describes the listed configuration. Dimensions, throughput and consumption may change for a custom build. To discuss your requirements, send item dimensions, photographs, material, contamination details and required items per hour.
