METOS ICS+ RACK CONVEYOR MACHINES
Problem 3
Additional problem solved with
the new generation of ICS+
The traditional conveyor principle of a rack conveyor machine
has equal movement forward and backward. During the time
when the conveyor is moving backward small hooks keep the
racks in still position.
In practice this means that 50 % of the time a rack spends inside
the rack conveyor machine it is standing still. In fi nal rinse this
is especially critical as the traditional principle causes uneven
fi nal rinse result due to uneven water distribution. In other words
some of the dishes are rinsed with multiple amount of water
compared to others.
DTS - Double Transport System
Traditional rack conveyor machine
Solution 3 DTS – Double Transport System
The New ICS+ machine uses a Double Transport System.
With DTS the time for a rack standing still is taken down
close to zero.
This technique ensures more even distribution of fi nal rinse
water and thus ensures best possible fi nal rinse result.
In the New ICS+ machine with DTS the
fi nal rinse water is distributed more
evenly for each glass.
The second rack with glasses standing
illustrate the amount of fi nal rinse water
used for each glass in new ICS+ with
DTS. Here all the glasses get nearly the
same amount of water.
In traditional rack conveyor the fi nal
rinse water is distributed unevenly. This
is due to the fact, that the rack is standing
still 50 % of rinsing and washing
time.
The second rack with glasses standing
illustrate the amount of fi nal rinse water
used for each glass in traditional rack
conveyor machine. The picture shows,
that some of the glasses get only 20 %
of the water compared to glasses that
spend longest time in fi nal rinse.
