Tray Washing Machine for Fast, Hygienic Tray Cleaning
A tray washing machine automates the cleaning of reusable trays so they can be turned around quickly and hygienically for the next production cycle. Instead of time‑consuming manual washing, trays travel through pre‑wash, hot wash, rinse and drying zones in a controlled process.
Designed as an industrial tray washing machine, this solution is ideal for food processing, pharmaceuticals, bakeries, logistics and any operation that relies on large volumes of plastic or metal trays every day.
What Is an Industrial Tray Washing Machine?
An industrial tray washing machine is a high‑throughput washer built specifically for trays, lids and similar flat containers. Depending on capacity and layout, it can be configured as a tunnel, flight, rack or pass‑through system.
In a typical tray cleaning machine, trays are loaded onto a conveyor or into a rack and pass through enclosed high‑pressure spray zones. After tray washing and rinsing, a drying section ensures that trays exit ready for immediate reuse or stacking.
Key Benefits of an Industrial Tray Washer
Using an industrial tray washer offers several advantages compared to manual or improvised washing:
- Consistent hygiene: High‑pressure spray, temperature control and detergent dosing achieve reliable tray cleaning and help meet food and pharma standards.
- Labour and time savings: Automation replaces repetitive manual scrubbing, freeing staff for higher‑value tasks and speeding turnaround.
- Water and chemical efficiency: Recirculating tanks and filtration systems in modern industrial tray wash machines reduce water and detergent consumption.
For operations running multiple shifts, a properly sized tray washer machine becomes critical infrastructure for productivity and compliance.
Plastic Tray Washer for Food and Pharma
Many operations rely on reusable plastic trays and crates. A plastic tray washer is optimised for these materials, with nozzle patterns and guides that protect the trays while ensuring full coverage.
Whether you are washing bakery trays, meat or produce trays, pharma transfer trays or logistics totes, the tray washing machine can be configured with pre‑wash stages to remove heavy debris and hot‑water disinfection stages to support HACCP and cGMP requirements.

Where Tray Washer Machines Are Used
A tray washer machine is widely used in:
- Food processing plants and central kitchens washing production and serving trays.
- Automotive Component transfer systems
- Bakeries cleaning sheet pans and baking trays.
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities washing transport trays and sterile goods trays.
- Logistics and distribution centres washing totes and trays used in automated storage and picking systems.
In each case, a correctly sized industrial tray washing machine keeps reusable assets clean, safe and in constant circulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of trays can a tray washing machine clean?
A tray washing machine can clean most reusable trays, including plastic, stainless steel and coated metal trays. With the right configuration, an industrial tray washer handles bakery trays, food production trays, pharma transfer trays and logistics totes without damage.
How do I size an industrial tray washing machine for my operation?
To size an industrial tray washing machine, define tray dimensions, number of trays per hour, contamination type and hygiene requirements. From this, the required throughput, number of stages and heating capacity are calculated so the industrial tray wash machines meet your production and cleanliness targets.
Is a plastic tray washer suitable for high hygiene industries?
Yes. A plastic tray washer with hot‑water washing, controlled detergents and, if needed, sanitising or disinfection stages is suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. Many systems support HACCP and cGMP requirements when correctly specified and validated.
What maintenance does a tray cleaning machine require?
Routine maintenance on a tray cleaning machine includes cleaning filters and strainers, removing sludge from tanks, checking spray nozzles for blockage or wear, and verifying temperature and detergent dosing. Regular maintenance ensures the tray washer machine maintains cleaning performance and energy efficiency.
Can tray washing machines be integrated into existing lines?
Yes. Many industrial tray washer systems are designed as inline tunnels with conveyors that can be integrated into existing tray return or logistics lines. Others are stand‑alone units with infeed and outfeed conveyors that can be connected to your current material handling systems.
