HOW THE BASIL 4700 CAGE AND RACK WASHER WORKS
STERIS’ Basil 4700 Cage and Rack Washer can clean up to 92 rodent cages per cycle. Cages are positioned in especially designed racks to achieve complete coverage and provide efficient cleaning. Bottle baskets can also be positioned on a special cart that automatically connects to the solution delivery system. Cage racks can be placed directly in the chamber where the cleaning solution is circulated through an oscillating spray system. A self-cleaning screen filters all solutions and automatically flushes debris to the drain.
