Integrated Washing & Drying Line for Crates: Efficiency in Motion

At iba 2025, Colussi Ermes presents an integrated, fully automated crate washing and spin-drying line, a live demonstration of how innovation and intelligent design can transform hygiene processes in the bakery industry.

Two high-performance systems – the crate washer and the spin dryer – are connected by a closed-loop conveyor, simulating a real-time, continuous washing and drying cycle. This setup showcases not only the performance of each machine but the seamless synchronization between them – from soiled to sanitized to perfectly dry in just seconds.

🔹 Crate Washer:
Available in cabin or tunnel versions, with up to three tracks and both horizontal or vertical layouts, the crate washer offers customizable throughput – from small batches to 10,000 crates/hour. Designed for maximum flexibility, it ensures impeccable washing quality for all crate types, while advanced automation and smart handling optimize productivity and streamline workflow.

🔹 Spin Dryer:
With capacities of up to 4,200 crates/hour, Colussi Ermes’ double-rotor spin dryer delivers unmatched drying results with minimal energy consumption. Whether foldable or rigid, different types of crates are dried quickly and uniformly, even in compact layouts, thanks to the dryer’s space-saving design and high-speed rotation technology.

Together, the washer and spin dryer form a compact, high-efficiency line that meets today’s highest hygiene standards while reducing water and energy usage – a perfect demonstration of smart sustainability in action.
