Drum washer
Operating principle
The Sormac drum washer type TW can be used for washing products such as potatoes, carrots and other root vegetable. The heart of the machine is a horizontal suspended wash drum. The drum is manufactured with holes and slots, formed in a way to avoid damage to the product, while achieving a very good washing effect.
The principal of washing is to have the product rubbing each other. To attain this you need a certain volume of product in the drum. The volume is easily regulated by means of a rotating or horizontal adjustable valve. A spray pipe is mounted within the drum to supply fresh or re-circulated water. Beneath the washer the water is guided through a funnel.
In a special execution the washer is provided with a chain outfeed belt after the valve and the washer can handle a certain water level. Because the drum is hanging in water the product will be handled more gentle. While rotating the product will be collected in water. In this execution the washer will also be provided with slots or holes, spraying pipes at in- and outfeed and level arrangement.
