Dairy Washing Systems

Our dairy washing systems are developed to meet the needs of commercial and industrial dairy facilities, where hygiene and efficiency are critical to day-to-day operations.

From milk processing plants to cheese manufacturers, our machines are built to handle the everyday mess that is common in dairy operations – including fats, proteins, and biofilms.

Washing Systems Built for the Dairy Industry

We provide high performance washers that support continuous operation, meet regulatory demands, and reduce manual handling. Whether your facility deals with milk crates, cheese moulds, or stainless steel racks, our washing systems help you to maintain a clean working environment, batch after batch. Every unit is designed for maximum energy efficiency, water conservation, and minimal downtime.

Our Dairy Washers

Dairy sites rely on a wide range of equipment, and each item requires a slightly different cleaning approach, depending on its size and how dirty it gets. Therefore we manufacture machines that are able to clean:

Crate Icon

Trays and Crates

Dairy trays and crates carry milk, cheese and yoghurt residue. Our washers handle 100 – 6,000 units per hour.

Rack Icon

Trolleys and Racks

Targeted sprays clean every shelf, wheel and corner of cheese trolleys and drying racks – no dismantling needed.

Bin Icon

Tote Bins and Dolavs

Our bin washers lift, spray and rinse tote bins and dolavs in one smooth cycle – a thorough clean, without the hassle.

Utensils Icon

Pans and Utensils

Cheese moulds, ladles and mixing tools come out spotless, thanks to hot water and precise detergent dosing.

Pallet Icon

Pallets

Forceful, full-coverage cleaning lifts embedded residue and preps pallets for reuse or return to production.

Boots Icon

Work Boots

Step-in boot washers clean soles and sides in seconds, cutting contamination as staff move between areas.

What Our Dairy Washing Systems Remove

Dairy production leaves behind a variety of residues that require specialised cleaning. Our washing systems are built to tackle the most common and stubborn substances found in milk and dairy environments, including:

  • Milk Residue – Dried or congealed milk proteins can stick to trays, pans, and containers.
  • Cream and Fat Cream based residues are high in fat and can cling to surfaces, especially in bins, and utensils.
  • Cheese Fragments – From soft curds to hard cheese crumbs, fragments can become lodged in trolleys, racks, and moulds.
  • Yoghurt and Cultured Products These thicker products can coat pans, tubs, and tools with sticky residue.
  • Butter and Whey – Rich in fats and proteins, residues from butter and whey can be tough to remove with manual cleaning.

Built for Your Dairy Operation

No two dairy operations are exactly the same. From small batch creameries to large scale milk processors, we work with you to assess your equipment needs and configure a system that suits your production scale.

Made in the UK, Built to Last

Our dairy washing systems are manufactured in the UK using high grade stainless steel and components suited to food production environments.

Various wash stages are available including pre-wash, detergent wash, high pressure label removal, rinse and air knife drying. Drainage is built into our washing systems to allow thorough rinsing after every wash cycle.

For sites operating under SALSA, BRCGS or other food safety schemes, our machines can also be equipped with filters, heaters, or sanitisers to meet compliance needs.

Because we manufacture our own range, we’re able to offer support from design through to installation and aftercare. Our engineers understand the equipment inside out and are always available to provide guidance or service when needed.

Once your system is installed, we’re here to support you with servicing, spare parts, and technical advice. We don’t disappear after the job’s done, we’re only a phone call or email away to keep things running smoothly.
