Rotajet have all you need to repurpose and process your containers from pails and pots, to small containers. Our container washing machines are all fitted with push start systems with fully controllable dosing, time and temperature gage. As a result the process is customisable and adaptable to your specific application.
With an intelligent two-stage design, our pail machinery utilises a chemical wash stage to remove heavy contamination through both chemical action and the physical impingement caused by the spray heads. Following this, a freshwater rinse so any remaining residue is removed.
Container washing machines
Containers like pails and buckets are used across many industries for the storage and transportation of liquids up to 50L. Before pails are reused or disposed of, it is imperative that they have firstly been fully cleaned and decontaminated to avoid any cross-contamination.
With over 500 machines currently in use worldwide, Rotajet systems are the leading manufacturer of spray washers capable of completely decontaminating buckets and pails. Depending on your throughput rate, our pail washers can either be supplied as a batch washer or as a continuous system.

Small container washing can be useful and profitable for two purposes; reuse and recycling. Both of these options offer a cost-efficient solution for small containers while also reducing the amount of material that ends up in landfill.
Reconditioning small containers for reuse can not only significantly reduce the costs of repurchasing, but can also ensure the optimised condition of the equipment for future use. Using the correct cleaning methods, a small container can be reused time and time again for the containing and transporting of liquids, semi-solids and powders.
A Rotajet Small Container washers like the RJ-CW-D60, can clean multiple small container sizes as well as parts and components all in a single operation. With two stages of washing, this machine first uses a chemical wash stage to remove stubborn contamination, which is followed by a freshwater rinse to remove any remaining residues. With the RJ-CW-D60 Parts and Small Container Washer, parts, components, and small containers can be kept in great condition for years, thereby ensuring their longevity in the market.
With Rotajet’s range of Small Container Washing equipment, reconditioning small containers can be made into a hassle-free and cost-efficient process. For more information on our range of Small Container Washing solutions, see our dedicated product page.
If a small container is deemed unsuitable for reuse, recycling the material can offer a cost effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to landfilling. By washing small containers that cannot be reused, they can be made into a commodity suitable for resale into the recycling market.
Using a Rotajet Small Container Washer such as the RJ-CW-12/25, up to 12 small containers can be washed in just operation. Each wash cycle undertaken by this machine undergoes two stages; the chemical wash stage to remove bulk contaminants, and a freshwater rinse to remove remaining substances. Together, these wash stages can ensure that your small container is ready to be recycled.
In addition to Container Washing Machinery, Rotajet offers a range of recycling equipment that can process plastic through to a clean, recyclable granulate. Rotajet machinery can take care of your entire process, from washing small containers for their reuse, right through to their cleaning and granulation for recycling in the plastics market at the end of their lifespan.
