wasplaten

Wasplaten (literally “washing plates”) is a Dutch term used to describe flat plates or plate-like surfaces that are employed to aid washing or cleaning in various settings. The exact meaning varies by context and does not refer to a single standardized device; rather, it describes any plate, carrier, or support that participates in a washing process.

In industrial and manufacturing environments, wasplaten may be part of a wash station or conveyor system. Items passing through automated cleaning lines are placed on or moved over these plates, which can be perforated for drainage or designed to hold components in fixtures. Materials commonly used include stainless steel and corrosion-resistant plastics, chosen for chemical and thermal resistance. Design variations range from fixed plates to rolling carriers or plate racks.

In laboratory settings, wasplaten can refer to flat carriers used in plate-washing equipment or to the flat surfaces on which samples are rinsed during cleaning steps. In this usage, the term is related to the concept of a “washing plate” found in English-language equipment. Lab washers may provide spray nozzles, aspiration, and automated washing cycles, with construction emphasizing resistance to solvents and water.

Outside industrial and lab contexts, the term can describe components of dishwashing or cleaning setups, such as stainless-steel wash surfaces or trays designed to support items during washing. The specific construction is tailored to the application, ranging from durable, easy-to-clean surfaces to more complex racks or carriers.

Wasplaten are not a single standardized product but a general concept referring to flat cleaning surfaces or carriers used to facilitate washing operations across different sectors.
