CHEP Australia has launched a crate dryer that it claims delivers an 80% drier crate.
The centrifugal dryer technology has been installed at CHEP’s Scoresby service centre in Victoria. The centrifugal dryer complements CHEP’s HACCP crate wash system.
With the dryer, the company says it can supply crates with less than 3 g of water. This makes the crates suitable for fruit and vegetables requiring low moisture environments, such as onions.
Clean water spun from the crates is collected in a water collection tank before being pumped back into the washer for re-use. According to the company, this saves around 180,000 L of water each year. The dryer also uses up to 80% less energy compared to the existing blow dryer technology.
