SEMI STAAL designs, manufactures and installs customised cleaning and handling systems for boxes. More than 150 box washer systems have been delivered to customers in the pharmaceutical and food industries in more than 30 countries.
All box washer systems can be adapted to handle a wide range of sizes and shapes of boxes and moulds. Our solutions can be individually adapted to meet your specific hygiene, space and capacity requirements.
We help you strengthen food safety, improve hygiene and create better working environments.
A tunnel washing system for boxes can consist of several sections such as pre-rinse, wash section, high pressure section and clean water after-rinse, depending on hygiene requirements. The type of filter is also adapted according to the nature of the task. For environmental reasons, all sections are recirculating with heating systems adapted to the customer’s energy infrastructure.
Example 1
A single-track tunnel washer with a capacity of 50-700 boxes/hour. The module is the basis for a wide range of facility types – from very simple to fully automated solutions.
Box washer with accumulation lanes and two separate washing lanes. This ensures a very high capacity.
Example 2
This solution is a two track tunnel washer with a capacity of 400-5,000 boxes/hour. The system is flexible, despite its size, and is the central core for a wide range of modules.
Two-lane box washing system (one for lids and one for boxes) with infeed accumulation lanes, down stackers, washing line with two washing sections, blow-off dryer system and box and lid stackers.

Fully automated crate cleaning and handling system
Stacker
Crates are fed to the stacker for automatic stacking of the crates. Can also be integrated with a palletising unit to reduce manual workload.
Turner
After washing, the crates are turned from bottom up to bottom down.
Washer
In the recirculating washing section, the crates are cleaned with hot water and chemicals. Different heat sources and filter types can be added, and a range of advantageous options makes the system adaptable.
Pre-rinse
A recirculating pre-rinse removes the worst product and protein residues before the crates are transported to the washing section.
After-rinse
After washing, an after-rinse will rinse the crate to remove chemical residues.
Transport/handling
We offer a wide range of handling solutions such as conveyors, turners and transfer systems that can be fully or partially integrated with existing logistics solution.
