Their high performance washing system produces first class results while minimising running costs, by lowering water use and thus reducing the energy needed to heat it. MT systems have a huge washing capacity – the largest MTF (flight type conveyor) can handle 8,000 plates per hour, while the equivalent MTR (rack conveyor) has a capacity of 355 racks per hour. Their versatile modular design means they can be precisely configured and adapted if requirements change over time.
