Say goodbye to the inconvenience of hand washing forever.
Eastern Crown has perfected a clean-up system that's entirely
automatic At the flick of a switch your unit washes, rinses,
sanitizes and drains while you tend to other chores You know
it s the best because the Eastern Crown name is on it Special
spinners spray-clean with such force that they sanitize much
more thoroughly than is possible by hand
TWO STEP ECONOMY PURCHASE PLAN. If now is not the time
to go fully automatic then take advantage of Eastern Crown’s
flexible plan and go semi-automatic by using a timer with the
pump unit which is available separately Add the control unit
later Here s an easy way to make a major improvement at
a minor expense Eastern Crown Tank Washer is easily installed
with no structural changes in your present set-up It’s the way
to improve quality and increase profits automatically l
