COMMERCIAL COMPACT TRAY WASHER
Introducing the commercial tray washer from Bootstrap Farmer – the solution farmers have been seeking for growing at scale. Crafted with precision in the USA, this rock-solid and uncomplicated unit is designed for microgreens growers who harvest 100 trays or more per week.
Stop wasting time on tedious hand scrubbing and embrace convenience — without compromising on impeccable food safety, sanitization, and cleanliness.
DESCRIPTION
Bootstrap Farmer’s Texas-fabricated, stainless steel tray washer speeds up tray washing with four powerful high-pressure fan nozzles and a low-pressure sanitizing rinse. The tray washer requires a pressure washer (purchased separately) to function. See pressure washer recommendations below.
Trays are manually pushed upside down along a rail system that holds them in place during the wash cycle. Water is contained via brushes that help keep the overspray to a minimum. Self-draining feed ramps help divert excess water back inside the unit to drain to waste. Upon exit, the trays fall onto a collection ramp that channels excess water back into the unit to drain. After use, unit cleaning is quick by removing the secured lid and rinsing it out.
