Green clean for containers
A new benchmark for cleaning shipping containers in Australia has been set by AWH Logistics at North Fremantle.
The new environmentally-friendly system uses recycled rainwater to process a 20-foot container in less than five minutes including loading off and on the truck. This is about four times faster than the manual alternative and involves a more thorough wash, with all six sides of the container being cleaned.
The water is then degreased and filtered for re-use. Without recycling, the facility would use more than 4.8m litres of water a year.
