Dolav Plastic Products has developed the Dolav DFLC, a large pallet box that can be disassembled into five components — four sides and a base — and folded flat when empty. Each component can be washed separately, offering high levels of hygiene.
To test the boxes, Holchem, Dolav and IWM carried out a series of trials. For the preliminary trials, the boxes were coated with a proprietary gel that fluoresces under UV light, and then washed in a customised IWM P100 pallet washer. After washing, the boxes were examined with a UV light source in a darkened room. No fluorescence was seen, confirming that all of the gel had been removed.
Subsequent trials were designed to more closely replicate real-world conditions and the boxes were heavily soiled with a sausage, minced meat and mayonnaise mix prior to washing. The results were assessed using sensitive ATP (adenosine triphosphate) detection techniques and revealed that all surfaces achieved a “cautionary clean” or better standard.
