Power operated door glides effortlessly across the chamber opening to store completely behind the barrier wall panel. The cart washer must have Compressed Gasket Seal Power operated doors must separate from the door gasket during opening and closing. Air cylinders automatically compress the glass door against the chamber gasket, providing a positive seal to air and water leakage. When door is opened, the air cylinders release the glass door pressure against the door gasket, separating the seal before the door slides open. The cart washer must have a Double Door Pass Through Doors at each end of the chamber must promote a convenient and aseptic flow of goods from a soiled work area to a clean prep & pack area.

Wash and rinse temperatures must be adjustable from 120°-194°F (49°-90°C). The cart washer must have a Self-Cleaning Debris Filter Solutions from the booster heater are forced through a canister containing a removable fine mesh filter, to prevent debris from reaching spray nozzles. Upon completion of the wash cycle, the flow through the filter is reversed and debris is back-flushed into the drain to minimize manual cleaning. The cart washer must have Oscillating Jet-Spray Manifold Oscillating, lateral sweeping, vertical jet-spray manifolds with 128 spray jets evenly distributed throughout the chamber provide full load coverage during the entire cycle for optimum cleaning. Both tubes and jets must be easily removable without tools for easy maintenance.

The cart washer must have Non-Recirculated Drying Air. The cart washer must have Energy Efficient Heat Exchanger. The cart washer must have Building Exhaust Connection. The chamber vent tube must be 6.25-inch (160 mm) diameter and is designed to require building exhaust to evacuate a blend of ambient air in the machine space with exhaust from the machine vent tube. Provide a 2-inch air gap between the building exhaust vent and the machine vent tube. The total building exhaust shall be 700-1200 CFM. This action helps dry the moist air moving into the building exhaust and helps reduce the temperature in the machine space. The cart washer must have a Smooth surfaces and slope angle allow the pipe system and chamber to completely drain, eliminating the risk for residuals and dirt to be carried over to the next process.
