PLAQUE WASHING, DRYING& HANDLING SYSTEM

LARGE CAPACITYDesigned to handle up to 4000 Chocolate Plaques anhour, the Newsmith Plaque Washing and Handling sys-tems offer a unique solution to this difficult cleaningproblem.

Under 4000 mm. in length and available in single andtwo lane versions the Newsmith Plaque Wash systemis less than a quarter of the size of other plaque wash-ing machines yet will consistently deliver clean, dryplaques ready for immediate reuse.

AUTOMATIC PLAQUE LOADERBecause of the problems associated with loading andunloading a machine at this speed, Newsmith havedeveloped a plaque loading system that automaticallyfeeds stocks of plaques into the machine ensuring thatthe plaque washer consistently performs at peak effi-ciency.

When performing in conjunction with a plaque collec-tion container the Newsmith Plaque Washer can inmost circumstances be managed by one operator.
