As packing plants convert to plastic pallets, it is necessary to decontaminate all components that are delivered to a farm to avoid transmission of disease. The recent upsurge in coryza emphasizes the need for decontamination of pallets, egg trays and dividers. In addition it is necessary to save water and energy in cleaning that must be as efficient as possible.
Kuhl Corporation a third-generation family business founded in 1909 was the first company to fabricate completely automated washing systems. Their iconic egg washers with patented features are supplied as standard equipment on European grader installations.
