Definitions

  • 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 U.S. Pat. No. 3,789,860, U.S. Pat. No. 4,231,806, DE 196 44 438 C2 and DE 198 29 650 C2.
  • Sprayed final rinse liquid or post-wash liquid is treated in such a manner that it either has the quality of potable water from a microbiological perspective or that it can be mixed in such a proportion with water taken from the building 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.
  • micro-filtration and ultra-filtration elements which are preferably membranes. If they have a pore size of less than 0.1 ⁇ m, the filtration is designated as ultra-filtration, whereas filtration with a pore size of more than 0.1 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m is designated as micro-filtration.
