When an SMC Rackwasher is equipped with this option, it will also run all traditional cycles, including: alkaline and acid wash, acid soak, multiple rinses and so on. This is completely selectable by supervision.

The unit is equipped with a separate set of headers and jets, sized appropriately and mounted alongside of the normal reciprocating headers. These jets are fed with fresh, hot water from your house supply, heated through the onboard  heat exchanger. The heat control of the machine microprocessor, and which guarantees water to be delivered at the set temperature [up to 200^oF (93.3^oC)].

The unit begins with a sump full of water. Detergent is added to this water, and the unit runs a wash cycle phase with pump spary and sump heating. Typical duration would be 3-5 minutes When the wash cycle phase is complete, the unit immediately begins to spray fresh, clean hot water from the rinse jet headers onto all load surfaces. Typical duration is 3 minutes, at a temperature up to 200^oF (93.3^oC). While the unit is rinsing, approximately one-half (25 gallons/95L) of the solution in the sump is drained out through the self-flushing debris strainer. The rinse water falls into the sump, refreshing the wash solution and preparing the sump for the next load. When the next load commences, the detergent concentration is corrected and the cycle continues as above.

Wash solutions are partially re-used but continually refreshed. Total water usage in this mode will be about 25 gallons (95 L) per cycle.
