For IWM, it most definitely is all in the name! It is what we do – we wash!
Throughout all types of industries – food production and distribution networks – there are millions of different containers, pallets or vessels to be cleaned. For instance, Distribution Trays, Bread Baskets, Pallets, Bins and IBC’s are in use in food production. Moreover, waste transport, Smoking Racks for meat and fish, Weigh Scale Pans, Beer kegs and many more items need to be cleaned.
But, What is Clean….?
‘Cleaning’ can conjure up many different interpretations in the industrial washing industry. For example; it means visually clean, hygienically clean, dust free, removal of oil and grime, label removal and allergen control.
Satisfying all, or some of this criteria depends on the size, shape and design of the customers item(s) and the throughput required. All of these points are the starting point for any IWM project – ascertaining the customers needs, then offering a solution.
Tailored Washers to Best Suit Your Needs
Most companies that supply washing equipment around the world offer a standard set of machinery and options. Likewise IWM have a tried and trusted range of standard models available. However, IWM will evaluate each and every requirement and tailor any of our standard models to best suit the application. For instance, these modifications could be:
- a larger pump,
- additional heating,
- tailored conveyor guidance systems
- or specific jet nozzles in strategic locations to make sure the desired end result is always achieved.
Where a standard machine cannot be modified effectively, IWM will regularly engineer totally bespoke equipment to satisfy the customers requirements. For example, this could involve:
- the addition of a pre-wash module to remove bulk debris,
- larger washing sections to increase contact times
- or special filtration systems to maintain water quality and wash performance over longer periods.
It doesn’t stop there!
Once the washing criteria has been finalised, any further customer preferences are also taken into consideration. If the items need to have excess water removed after the washing/rinsing process; yes IWM do that as well!
The same philosophy applies to satisfy any water removal or drying requirements. Certain customers may also specify certain makes of electrical components, PLC’s, motors or have installation constraints – where IWM are happy to work with our clients to ensure our washing equipment is compatible to site specific or local regulations.
