Washer Cabinets: elevating hygiene standards and efficiency

Hygiene is crucial for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring quality in several industries. Washer cabinets help businesses meet hygiene standards while saving time and labor. In this article, we'll explain what a washer cabinet is, how it works, what different types are there, and how to choose the best one for your needs.

What is a washer cabinet?

A washer cabinet is an enclosed unit designed to wash items in sectors such as food processing, healthcare, logistics and pharmaceuticals. Companies rely on these cabinets to wash tools and equipment, ensuring an effective removal of contaminants and residues.

These cabinets use high-pressure water jets, detergents, and temperature control to provide a thorough and hygienic wash, making them ideal for maintaining strict hygiene standards. Their enclosed design helps prevent cross-contamination, protects operators, and reduces water and energy consumption compared to manual washing.

Key benefits of a washer cabinet

Consistency, efficiency and safety. These are the main benefits of washer cabinets.

1. Consistent wash quality

One of the major advantages of a washer cabinet is its ability to deliver an efficient result. Its powerful jets and advanced filtration systems remove grease, oil and dirt from surfaces. The automated nature of washer cabinets ensures high-quality and consistency.

2. Time savings

Manual washing can be a real time sink, taking your team away from more important tasks. A washer cabinet helps you to save time and resources. With the MultiWasher, you find a faster and more efficient washing process.

3. Versatility

Washer cabinets can accommodate a wide variety of pieces. That makes them suitable for different industries. The MultiWasher, for instance, can wash small tools or larger items such as entire trolleys.

4. Improved safety

The enclosed design of washer cabinets enhances safety and hygiene. By minimizing exposure to harmful substances and chemicals, it creates a safer working environment. This feature is essential for promoting worker well-being and maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

How does a washer cabinet work?

Very simply put, washer cabinets work much like your domestic washing machine. You place the items inside the washer cabinet, choose the desired program and wait for the cycle to complete. The machine automatically selects the temperature, pressure and detergent for the cycle. The MultiWasher can cycle through multiple washes using the same water. It sanitizes industrial utensils using an average of 60% less water and 70% less detergent when compared to other industrial solutions.

After the washing process, the items undergo rinsing. During this step, powerful hot water streams are used to remove any remaining detergent and chemical residues. Then, the MultiWasher’s drying feature kicks in, using warm air or other methods to ensure the items are moisture-free before removal.

How to choose the right washer cabinet

Selecting the right washer cabinet for your business involves several key considerations to ensure that it meets your operational needs. It's essential to find the right balance between performance, efficiency, and cost.

1. Volume and throughput

Start by assessing how many items you need to wash regularly. If your operation requires a high volume, you'll want a washer cabinet that can handle multiple loads efficiently. Examine the cabinet's capacity and throughput rate to calculate the number of parts it can wash per cycle and its operating speed. For high-demand environments, look for a model designed for continuous use, such as MultiWasher, which excels in high-efficiency washing.

2. Space and size constraints

Consider your available workspace when selecting a washer cabinet. If you have limited space, choose a compact model, but ensure it can accommodate your washing volume.

3. Customization

Every business has unique washing requirements. A washer cabinet like MultiWasher features customizable settings according to each industry’s needs, such as adjustable water pressure and temperature, detergent options, and cycle durations.

4. Energy and water efficiency

Look for washer cabinets that reduce energy and water consumption. Thanks to closed-circuit reuse and low-consumption technology, MultiWasher stands out for its low energy consumption and ability to recycle water during the washing process. This is an ideal choice for environmentally-conscious businesses, as it enables them to maintain hygiene standards while minimizing their ecological footprint.

5. Drying features

If quick turnaround times are essential for your operations, consider a washer cabinet with built-in drying capabilities. The MultiWasher includes drying features that ensure your items come out washed, dried, and ready for immediate use, saving valuable time and enhancing operational efficiency.

6. Ease of maintenance

Regular maintenance is vital for keeping your washer cabinet in optimal condition. Evaluate how easy it is to maintain the machine. The MultiWasher has user-friendly controls and a straightforward maintenance process, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance, backed by full support from Somengil.

While it could be tempting to choose the most affordable option, remember that a washer cabinet is an investment for your business. A model that meets your specific requirements can save you time and help you reduce costs in the long run. Compare features and prices and consider the long-term benefits before making your final decision.
