Features

The AC 8500 series cage and rack washer is a heavy duty, large capacity, hydro-spray, steam or electric heated washer specifically designed to support the throughput of medium and large size facilities. The compact size and frontal access for servicing allow it to be installed in premises of reduced dimensions.
The AC 8500 is standard equipped with two side heated water tanks (one for the wash solution and one for the rinse water) and two dosage units, results in greater flexibility in cycle development. The rinse circuit is separate from the wash circuit. Multiple oscillating spray arms guarantee a complete and continuous coverage of the load and the chamber providing excellent wash results in a short cycle time.

The AC 8500 cage and rack washer features sliding doors, operator multi-language touch screen HMI with auto diagnostic checking that constantly monitors and displays status.
The AC 8500 airtight chamber allows the machine to be used as a decontamination chamber for:

  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Chlorine Dioxide
  • Chemical fogging
