A117 - Alu Safe Tray Wash 2x5ltr
Aluminium trays and other sensitive ware need a detergent chosen for their materials as well as the soil being removed. Evans Alu Safe Tray Wash provides low-foaming cleaning for suitable trays, crates and utensils in professional wash areas. It tackles greasy deposits and food residues while supporting a consistent washing routine for reusable equipment.
The formulation can be used through compatible automatic warewashing machines or for manual soaking and washing. This flexibility is useful when a kitchen handles both regular machine loads and individual items that need additional attention. Identify the material, check its care instructions and select the matching washing method before preparing the detergent solution.
Separate manufacturer directions cover general machine washing, food-industry tray and crate washing, and manual work. The appropriate dose depends on the process rather than the product name alone. Accurate dispensing helps teams prepare repeatable solutions and makes it easier to manage detergent stock across a busy wash-up area.
This pack contains two 5 litre containers for replenishing your cleaning supply. Keep the labelled containers organised with the other products used in the wash area. For a separate manual washing-up requirement, see Evans Q'sol manual detergent, or explore the chemical cleaning range for other tasks, checking each product's own directions.

Directions for Use
Prepare the items and wash area
Check the item and machine care instructions, the product label and the safety data sheet. Remove loose food debris and confirm the chosen washing process is suitable for the material. The concentrate can cause severe skin burns and eye damage; wear the specified protective equipment and avoid breathing mist.
Dose automatic washing systems
For automatic warewashing, dispense through an electronic dispenser at 2–5ml per litre at 55–70°C, or follow the machine manufacturer's instructions. Food and beverage industry tray/crate washing uses a separate 0.5–3.0% range, equivalent to 5–30ml per litre, at 55–70°C.
Prepare a manual washing solution
Evans specifies dilution up to 1:400 in hot water, depending on soiling and water hardness. The stated measure is 25ml per 10 litres of water. Immerse suitable trays and utensils until the soil loosens, then remove it by light brushing or scrubbing.
Rinse and complete the process
Rinse manually washed items with clean water. For machine loads, follow the equipment's complete washing and rinsing procedure. Inspect items before reuse, maintain the dosing equipment and close the original detergent container after dispensing. Follow the safety sheet for storage and disposal.

FAQs
Can Alu Safe Tray Wash be used on aluminium?
Yes. Aluminium is one of the materials for which Evans formulates this detergent. Follow the stated dilution and process, and check the item's own care guidance before washing coated, decorated or unfamiliar ware.
Is this detergent only for automatic machines?
No. Evans also provides a manual washing method involving soaking, light brushing or scrubbing, and rinsing. Select the manual procedure for suitable items instead of using the machine dose in a sink.
Do tray washers and general warewashing machines use the same dose?
The manufacturer gives separate ranges for these processes. Use the directions for your machine and application, with the dispenser set appropriately, rather than applying one rate across every wash system.
Does it work in hard water?
Evans lists soft, medium and hard water conditions. Water hardness and soiling influence the preparation, particularly for manual washing, so follow the label and keep equipment maintenance part of the routine.
How much detergent is supplied?
The pack contains two 5 litre containers, giving ten litres in total. Product code A117EEV2 identifies this pack; the listing is for concentrated detergent that must be used according to the appropriate washing instructions.
Does aluminium-safe mean safe to handle without protection?
No. Material compatibility and handling precautions are different matters. The concentrate is hazardous to skin and eyes, so read the safety data sheet below and use its specified gloves, clothing and eye/face protection.
