Based at phs Teacrate’s Curdworth facility, the new technology also gives the company unmatched speed and capacity in the crate washing market.

Made in the UK by experts Unitech, the new tray and pallet washing systems are manufactured from high grade stainless steel, using the latest hygiene technology to provide the highest quality clean, even on the heaviest soiled totes and pallets.
