WA 290 Automation System
Options for both the load and unload sides allow configuring a system that works for the available space and needs of each SPD.
Shuttle Loading System
- Load racks onto the queuing conveyor system
- Shuttle picks up a rack and delivers it to the next available washer, loads washer and starts the cycle
- Shuttle can be “suspended” to manually load an emergency rack into an open washer
- Various load queue capacities to meet your throughput needs and available space
- Provides single point loading, from a cart, onto the system
Dedicated Conveyor Loading
- Load racks onto the input queuing conveyor in front of a specific washer
- Conveyor will auto load the rack into the washer, and start the cycle, when the washer becomes available
- Single rack load conveyor capacity
- Provides a more familiar method of direct loading from a cart
Cross Conveyor Unloading System

- Unload conveyor capacity of one rack
- Provides single point unloading and rack return
Dedicated Conveyor Unloading
- Washer automatically unloads racks onto the output conveyor

SISO Automation
Straight In, Straight Out Conveyors
Loading and Unloading Sides
Simple, easy to use auto load and unload conveyors provides queuing of racks and keeps your washers busy, minimizing idle time and improving efficiency.
- Load the rack onto the conveyor from the transport cart
- Washer will automatically load from the conveyor as soon as it is available.
- Cycle automatically starts
- Unloads the rack onto conveyor as soon as the cycle is complete, freeing up the washer for the next rack
Assisted Load/Unload
Ergonomic support in small spaces
Assisted Load, Auto Unload
When space does not allow for a loading queue conveyor, the assisted load, with auto unload, is a great solution. The assisted load reduces the effort for the user to load the rack and the auto unload ensures that the washer is ready for the next wash load as soon as possible.
- Dock the cart, the door automictically opens
- Push the rack an inch or so and the auto load takes over, loads the rack, closes the door, and starts the cycle
- Rack is automatically unloaded onto the conveyor when the cycle is complete
Assisted Load and Unload
When space is very constrained, yet the personnel can benefit from assisted load and unload, this is the optimal solution.
- Dock the cart, the door automictically opens
- Push the rack an inch or so and the auto load takes over, loads the rack, closes the door, and starts the cycle
- When the cycle is done, dock the cart on the unload side, press one button and the rack unloads onto the cart
