Fruit washer
The combination of a water stream with a paddle system makes the washer suitable for floating as well as sinking products. An air agitation system intensifies the washing result.
Operating principle
The fruit washer FW-100 is made for cleaning and sanitising of fruit.All fruit with either positive or negative buoyancy can be processed.The product is assisted through the washer by the water stream in combination with the variable speed compartmental paddle system. This system is driven through two plastic chains mounted along the side of the washer with connecting spaced transverse paddles. The dwell time can be adjusted between 1.5 and 5 minutes. The paddles can also be demounted for a free un-interrupted flow.
The modular conveyor belt mounted above the bottom of the tank allows the negative buoyancy products a controlled transportation through the washer upto the discharge elevator. To assist the standard washing action there is a special air agitation system which intensifies the washing/cleaning result.The water is collected in a separate tank with pump and sieve, prior to the circulation.
