TRAY WASHER AND DESINFECTION

The BCC Tray Washer consists of two parts i.e. a high-pressure unit for mechanical cleaning and a hot water washer section for thermal disinfection. This combination ensures effective removal of mineral particles, organic and inorganic components and biological contaminants from used trays.

During the processes of containerised plant production and infield planting, trays are contaminated with old growing substrate and plant roots which harbour weed seeds, fungal pathogens, moss and algae. These contaminants have severe negative impacts on nursery production and general hygiene within the nursery environment. One of the defence mechanisms against introduction of diseases into a nursery is effective cleaning and sanitation of trays.
