    Whiting Systems, a manufacturer of automatic truck, bus and train wash systems, recently introduced the SmartWashout internal trailer washout system. 

    The newly developed system’s state-of-the-art equipment was designed with refrigerated transporters and produce haulers in mind, the company said.

    “The new SmartWashout is made of all stainless framework, and offers a highly innovative self-centering software system to perfectly ensure proper cleaning and disinfecting of the refrigerated trailer,” said Dave Speer, senior vice president for Whiting.

    “The SmartWashout unit has the ability to operate as a 2020 MultiGun. The touchscreen has the options displayed ‘SmartWashout’ or ‘MultiGun.’ By making the MultiGun option, the unit will control the appropriate valving and process to have the capacity of running four handheld pressure wash guns at the same time. These can be plumbed and dropped into wash bays and shop areas.” Speer continued.   

    Russ Whiting, president and CEO of Whiting Systems, said: “Whiting System’s SmartWashout has been adopted by several food distribution companies and, in fact, their staff counseled us during research and design for what they wanted. Whiting Systems’ automatic trailer washout system has remote diagnostic and monitoring from Whiting Systems headquarters to continue our level of customer service.”

    Whiting Systems developed the SmartWashout with data logging for those that must implement procedures to ensure that equipment and vehicles are in appropriate sanitary condition. The company also helps in implementation of procedures to ensure that previous cargo does not make food unsafe. The Whiting design and PURE Hard Surface chemistry meets all fully implemented FSMA Food Safety Modernization Act requirements. Through precise, controlled automation, documentation and PURE Hard Surface, the SmartWashout will provide the highest level of food safety, the company maintained.

    “Everything designed into this unit was to better assist in safe food delivery and reducing downtime,” Whiting concluded. “The final application of PURE Hard Surface has been offered to national restaurant companies, food distribution companies and retail box stores.”
