Description
Available in C-24-SAN, C-36-SAN, and C-48-SAN models, each system is built around a 24-inch, 36-inch, or 48-inch-wide conveyor and uses modular wash, rinse, sanitizing, and drying stages to create a hygienic cleaning process tailored to your operation. Systems can be configured around your sanitation requirements, throughput goals, part geometry, soil load, facility utilities, and validation protocols.
For high-volume or fully automated production environments, Better Engineering can integrate automated stacking, destacking, robotic loading and unloading, infeed and discharge conveyors, sensors, PLC/HMI controls, automated chemical dosing, and data recording. These capabilities help reduce manual handling, improve ergonomics, increase throughput, and make the sanitizing tunnel washer a seamless part of your production or sanitation workflow.
Built with sanitary design principles and generally conforming to 3-A machine standards, Cyberjet SAN Series tunnel washers help facilities improve cleaning consistency, reduce manual labor, minimize cross-contamination risk, and maintain reliable throughput in demanding regulated environments.
Hygienic Conveyor Washer with Modular Flexibility
The Cyberjet SAN Series is engineered for automated cleaning and sanitization of reusable containers, trays, racks, carts, product-contact equipment, production components, and material handling systems used in regulated manufacturing environments. Each hygienic conveyor washer uses modular construction and configurable process stages to create a sanitary tunnel washing system tailored to your cleaning, sanitizing, drying, throughput, and validation requirements.
Available in C-24-SAN, C-36-SAN, and C-48-SAN models, the SAN Series is built around 24-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch conveyor widths. Each system can be configured using modular spray and drying sections to create the right process sequence for your application. Typical systems include wash and rinse modules, while more advanced configurations may incorporate sanitizing, fresh rinse, blow-off, heated drying, steam exhaust, enhanced filtration, and specialty handling features.
Heating options can be configured around your facility utilities and process requirements, including electric heat, gas heat, or steam heat using either plate coil or direct steam injection. This flexibility allows each system to meet the required wash, rinse, sanitizing, and drying temperatures while optimizing energy use and integration with existing plant infrastructure.
The fresh rinse or sanitization stage can be configured to discharge directly to drain or cascade back to the previous tank. This flexibility helps keep the final rinse as fresh as possible while allowing facilities to balance sanitation requirements, water usage, and process efficiency.
Designed for ease of maintenance, the SAN tunnel washers include large, vertical canopy doors, cleanable filtration systems, accessible spray manifolds, removable screens, and service-friendly tank areas. These features help simplify inspection, cleaning, and routine maintenance while reducing downtime in demanding sanitary production environments.
Common Configurations
- Wash & Rinse Systems: Designed for automated cleaning followed by controlled rinsing to remove soils, detergent residues, loosened debris, and contaminants from reusable production items.
- Wash, Sanitize & Dry Systems: Incorporate sanitizing and drying stages for facilities that require hygienic processing, moisture removal, and repeatable equipment readiness between production runs or batches.
- Advanced Sanitizing Systems: Can be configured with additional stages for chemical sanitization, thermal sanitization, fresh-water rinsing, steam exhaust, enhanced filtration, data recording, automated chemical dosing, and specialty handling requirements.
Because of its modular design, the Cyberjet SAN Series can be configured to meet today’s sanitation requirements while allowing room for future process changes, higher throughput, or expanded validation needs.
Built for Hygienic Production Environments
The Cyberjet SAN Series tunnel washer is designed around sanitary engineering principles that support food safety, contamination control, cleaning validation, and routine sanitation programs. From stainless steel construction to accessible chamber design, each system is engineered to promote cleanability, reduce solution carryover, and simplify inspection and maintenance.
Powered vertical access doors provide complete access to the wash, rinse, sanitizing, blow-off, and drying chambers for inspection, cleaning, and preventative maintenance. Optional rear access doors can be added to further improve accessibility in applications where full access from both sides of the tunnel washer is required.
Designed for Sanitization & Validation
Unlike conventional conveyor washers, Cyberjet SAN tunnel washers are designed to support sanitation-focused operations where cleaning performance must be consistent, repeatable, and verifiable. These systems can be configured to help facilities support sanitation programs, cleaning validation, contamination control, and process documentation requirements. Available options can support:
- HACCP programs
- FSMA compliance initiatives
- GMP environments
- FDA-regulated manufacturing
- ATP verification programs
- EB testing programs
- TOC testing programs
- IQ/OQ validation protocols
Systems may also be configured to monitor and record critical process parameters such as:
- Water temperature
- Cycle times
- Sanitizer concentration
- Rinse performance
- Drying conditions
- Chemical usage
- Alarm history
- Batch or cycle records
For facilities that require advanced process monitoring and documentation, systems can be equipped with advanced integration to record critical wash and sanitization parameters, support validation efforts, strengthen quality programs, improve sanitation verification, and provide process traceability.
Target Industries & Applications
The Cyberjet SAN sanitizing tunnel washer is ideal for conveyorized cleaning and sanitizing applications across food processing, pharmaceutical, biomedical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, reusable packaging, and clean manufacturing environments. Each system can be configured around your items, sanitation requirements, throughput goals, and validation needs.
From sanitary production components to reusable containers and material handling equipment, Cyberjet SAN systems help facilities automate cleaning, reduce manual labor, and maintain repeatable sanitization performance across high-volume operations.
Automation & Integration Ready
Cyberjet SAN tunnel washers are designed to integrate seamlessly into automated production, sanitation, and material handling environments. Whether used as a standalone conveyorized sanitizing system or incorporated into a larger automated line, each washer can be configured to support consistent product flow, reduce manual handling, and improve overall process control.
An optional NEMA 4X central control station with PLC and HMI provides reliable operation in demanding washdown environments while supporting repeatable cycle control, sanitation documentation, alarm monitoring, and operator visibility. Systems can also be configured for automated chemical dosing, temperature monitoring, flow monitoring, and integration with facility-level MES or SCADA systems.
Available Sanitizing Tunnel Washer Models
Cyberjet SAN sanitizing tunnel washers are available in multiple conveyor widths to match your load size, throughput requirements, sanitation needs, and facility layout. Each model can be configured with modular wash, rinse, sanitize, blow-off, drying, automation, and data recording options.
For additional confidence, Better Engineering can perform wash testing in its laboratory tunnel washer to help validate cleaning and sanitization performance before final system design. This allows customers to evaluate process effectiveness, optimize wash parameters, and confirm that the final system is engineered around real-world cleaning requirements.
