LT 35-100 kg
Lavatec - Tunnel
We offer high-quality tunnel washers in various sizes and designs – perfectly tailored to the requirements of your business. Our models are available for filling quantities of 35 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, 90 kg, 100 kg and 130 kg.
Depending on your requirements, we configure your washing line with a length of 5 to 20 chambers to ensure maximum efficiency and flexibility in the washing process.
Whether for small batches or large industrial quantities – we have the right solution.
The washing tube is rotated by four individually driven
friction wheel sets with a rubber compound
specially developed for Lavatec for optimum power transmission with minimum wear. Two rollers
that run against the flank of the drum rings limit the axial
movement of the drum. In addition, the axial movement is monitored by
state-of-the-art safety sensors.
The outer seal of a rotating double drum segment is sealed according to
as before using the tried and tested Lavatec clamping ring seal to
keep the water where it belongs. Our high-quality
heat- and chemical-resistant sealing system is characterized by the
modern production method. With the
chamber seal developed by Lavatec in the double drum area, liquor mixing
is avoided.
Each chamber in the double drum area has three detergent connections as standard. These can be extended to 6 as an option. The installation of measuring probes is possible in the double drum areas and is provided in such a way, that the probes can be removed for inspection or maintenance without the liquor running out of the chamber or the water or liquor having to be drained. The last chamber is used for the equipment and can optionally be fitted with probe holders. Steam heaters and drains can optionally be added to each chamber with a double drum.
Each of our tunnel washers is planned individually and in close consultation with you and your detergent technician/chemist. This is because optimum results in terms of quality, efficiency and resource conservation can only be achieved through the precise coordination of system technology, washing processes and chemistry.
The result is a car wash that is precisely tailored to your requirements – both technically and chemically. Together, we create a solution that works efficiently today and remains future-proof tomorrow.
Our double-drum tunnel washers are equipped with a manhole in each drum as standard. This allows easy and direct access to the inside of the drum, for example for maintenance or cleaning work.
Thanks to this design, the interior can be inspected or accessed quickly if necessary – without time-consuming disassembly. This not only increases operational safety, but also makes maintenance easier and extends the service life of the system.
A clear advantage for users who value accessibility and efficiency during operation.
Bottom transfer
Faster transfer: The laundry is removed directly from the bottom of the drum, which speeds up the transfer process.
Minimal pause time between zones: Lower cycle times mean more batches per hour.
The water is often recirculated more efficiently (counterflow principle), as the water flow runs in the opposite direction to the wash – ideal for conveying soil.
Reduction in fresh water consumption and energy. Fewer rinse cycles required thanks to effective rinsing.
The laundry is moved more evenly and gently as it does not fall over hoppers or flaps.
Minimized cross-contamination. Complete emptying of each chamber via the floor avoids standing water.
Suitable for HACCP or RABC-compliant processes (e.g. in healthcare, food industry).
More efficient use of hot water thanks to controlled water flow and reduced losses.
Less residual moisture at the end of the washing line thanks to better dewatered laundry
- Easier cleaning of the system, as the floor area is easier to rinse or automate.
Center transfer
Greater mechanical processing of the laundry than with bottom transfer, due to the falling movement during transfer.
High flexibility: Center transfer systems can handle different fill levels better, which is advantageous for changing batch sizes (e.g. in mixed hotel/hospital laundries).
