SP Industries' new large capacity glassware washers offer a unique spray arch water delivery system that ensures a thorough washing and rinsing process. This exclusive Hotpack feature projects a highly efficient vertical "wall of water" equally across the entire chamber. Separate plumbing systems for wash and rinse cycles minimize detergent carry-over to provide a clear final rinse. The results of this advanced engineering set a higher standard for clean laboratory glassware. In addition, a high efficiency water management system conserves energy and reduces operating cost.

Hotpack Large Capacity Washers are convenient and easy to use. A touch screen control interface, which is located at eye level, enables easy selection from a range of preset or user defined programmed operating options. The automatic door operation has watchdog safety functions that only allow washer operation when the door is fully closed. Additional convenient operation and maintenance features include a tough 316L stainless steel interior for easy cleaning, easy access to plumbing and detergent reservoirs plus an ultra clear glass door to provide unrestricted observation of machine operation. A wide range of baskets to accommodate all types of laboratory glassware and interchangeable spindle manifolds are available.

The new Hotpack Large Capacity Washers join the Hotpack family of Glassware Washers that include Undercounter models and Vertical SpaceSaver™ models with single and double chamber capacity.
