  • the invention concerns a conveyor ware washer, particularly a commercial conveyor ware washer of the type commonly configured in the form of a flight-type ware washer or in the form of a rack conveyor ware washer.
  • Conveyor ware washers are known for e.g. from the US 3,789,860 , US 4,231,806 , DE 196 44 438 C2 and DE 198 29 650 C2 , and EP 0560025 A1 .
  • Sprayed final rinse liquid or post-wash liquid is treated in such a manner that it has the quality of potable water from a microbiological perspective. Water supply that the resulting water mixture has the quality of potable water in microbiological terms.
  • the treatment of the sprayed final rinse liquid or the post-wash liquid may be done with the help of a micro-filtration system or an ultra-filtration system. Hygiene may guaranteed by the addition of ozone as a disinfecting agent, in case this is necessary in addition to the filtration.
  • a treatment device as per the invention can either be integrated in the conveyor ware washer or connected to the conveyor ware washer or be located separately.
  • the conveyor ware washers as per the invention given in the drawings can either be rack conveyor ware washers or flight-type ware washers.
  • the conveyor ware washers contain at least one wash zone, from which for example two wash zones 3 and 5 are represented, and at least one final rinse zone 25 which, in wash ware transport direction 42, is arranged after the wash zones.
  • the wash zones 3 and 5 each contain a wash system with for example upper wash nozzles 6 and 8 and lower wash nozzles 10 and 12.
  • a wash tank 14 and 16 is provided for each wash zone 3 and 5 for the collection of wash liquid sprayed in wash zone 3 and 5.
  • the wash liquid sprayed by the wash nozzles 6, 10 and 8, 12 resp. of each wash zone 3 and 5 resp. is recirculated by means of a pump 18 and 20 resp. from the respective wash tank 14 and 16 resp. through a wash liquid-supply pipe 19 and 21 resp. again to the wash nozzles 6, 10 and 8, 12.
  • the final rinse zone 25 contains, for example, the upper final rinse nozzles 24 and lower final rinse nozzles 26.
  • Fresh final rinse liquid can be supplied through a final rinse liquid supply device 28 to the final rinse nozzles 24 and 26.
  • the final rinse liquid supply device 28 can contain a water heater 30, preferably a boiler, a pump 32 and a final rinse liquid supply pipe 27 connecting the pump 32 with the final rinse nozzles 24, 26, and can be connected to a fresh water supply pipe 34.
  • a transport device 40 conveys the wash ware to be cleaned in transport direction 42, which is shown by an arrow, through the wash zones 3 and 5 and then through the final rinse zone 25.
  • a dry zone 44 can be provided in the transport direction 42 after the final rinse zone 25, through which the wash ware is transported from the transport device 40.
  • the dry zone 44 is schematically described in Fig. 1 and 2 .
  • the Fig. 1 , 2 and 3 show an embodiment, for which a post-wash zone 46 is located between the last wash zone 5 and the final rinse zone 25.
  • a post-wash zone 46 is located between the last wash zone 5 and the final rinse zone 25.
  • upper post-wash nozzles 50 and lower post-wash nozzles 52 are found in the post-wash zone 46, to which sprayed final rinse liquid is supplied as post-wash liquid from a post-wash tank 54 through a post-wash liquid-supply pipe 56 with the help of a pump 58.
  • the sprayed final rinse liquid in the final rinse zone 25 from the final rinse nozzles 24 and 26, and at least a part of the sprayed post-wash liquid in the post-wash zone 46 from the post wash nozzles 50 and 52 collect in the post-wash tank 54.
  • Another part of the post-wash liquid sprayed from the post wash nozzles 50 and 52 is preferably collected through a conduction element 60 and led into the wash tank 16 of the last wash zone 5.
  • the post-wash liquid sprayed by the post-wash nozzles 50, 52 in the post-wash zone 46 is therefore re-used final rinse liquid sprayed once in the final rinse zone 25 by the final rinse nozzles 24 and 26. Therefore, the post-wash zone 46 can also be designated as pre-rinse zone 46, the post-wash nozzles 50, 52 can also be designated as pre-rinse nozzles 50, 52 and post-wash liquid can also be designated as pre-rinse liquid.
  • the final rinse liquid is water which possesses the quality of potable water from the microbiological perspective, with or without an addition of rinse aid.
  • the post-wash tank 54 and the wash-tanks 16 and 14 are connected to a liquid-overflow-cascade system, in which the liquid can flow opposite to the transport direction 42 of the transport device 40 from the post-wash tank 54 into the last wash tank 16 and from here to the preceding wash tank 14 etc.
  • the wash liquid is water, to which the detergent is added.
