Equipment Snapshot: In honor of Douglas Machines Corp.’s 40th Anniversary, and to highlight custom racks design engineered exclusively by Douglas, the company will give away 2 of their newest custom wash racks at Pack Expo, Sept. 23-24, 2019, Booth 8476, in Las Vegas.

The 2-3-4 tier adjustable wash rack is versatile because it can accommodate a variety of different size containers or trays, thereby often reducing the number of wash racks needed for specific containers.

These sanitary designed wash racks allow for adding and/or changing the products in the rack via an adjustable product guide without requiring additional racks or resulting in obsolete racks due to changing container sizes. The flexibility saves time, floor space, and money, while getting more use out of one rack.

The Douglas custom wash rack for scale parts is specifically designed to hold weigh hoppers, feeder pans and chutes that consistently require thorough cleaning to avoid contamination. This adjustable wash rack can be used for weigh scale parts of varied sizes since the feeder pan product guides and weigh hopper product rods can effortlessly be adjusted for different widths and heights of the parts.

Intended for easily maximizing set up and take down, the sanitary rack is a result of work with multi-head manufacturers and customer input to resolve the issue of parts remaining in place during a powerful cleaning mode as well as transport, while extending the life of parts.

The rack package (valued at $3,508) will be on display at Pack Expo Booth #4852. For details on the Rack-A-Palooza Giveaway visit: https://www.dougmac.com/wash-racks/
