Washing plant (10) to perform a washing cycle of objects that provides at leasta pre-wash operation and an operation for the washing and heat disinfection ofthe objects. The plant (10) comprises a first battery (12) of pre-wash units (14,16), disposed in series one after the other along a first axis of alignment (L)and a second battery (24) of washer and heat disinfection machines (26, 28, 30)disposed along a second axis of alignment (M), different from the first axis ofalignment (L) so as to operate in parallel with each other and to perform the washingand heat disinfection of the objects. The second battery (24) is able to receive,along a direction of feed (F) transverse to the second axis of alignment (M), theobjects subjected to pre-wash exiting from the first battery (12) along the firstaxis of alignment (L). The direction of feed (F) of the second battery (24) is alsotransverse to the first axis of alignment (L). Movement members (20) are alsoprovided in order to divert the objects exiting from the first battery (12) andto direct them, aligned with the direction of feed (F), towards the second battery(24).
