Basil 5700LSR Cage and Rack Washer Technical Data
APPLICATION
The Basil 5700LSR Cage and Rack Washer is
intended for use in the sanitation of soiled,
reusable animal care devices such as cages,
racks, debris pans, feeder bottles and other
miscellaneous items by providing thorough
cleaning and optional drying.
DESCRIPTION
The Basil 5700LSR Cage and Rack Washer is
a mechanical washer equipped with a
programmable control system. The washer is
designed with five factory-set adjustable
cycles: Rodents, Bottles, Rabbits, Primates
and Fast. Five additional cycles are available
for customized programming to meet specific
operating requirements.
The Basil 5700LSR Cage and Rack Washer
offers both manifolded and non-manifolded
washing. The washer is available in a single-
or double-door configuration.
