Automatic basket carousel for vegetable washers

Facilitates Efficient Filling and Rotational Processing

The BCA Basket Carousel from Sormac is a pivotal component for enhancing your vegetable processing workflow. Specifically crafted for handling diced vegetables and loose leafy greens, it ensures an uninterrupted loading, filling, and unloading cycle. The automatic carousel swiftly advances baskets post-filling, maintaining a continuous, high-speed operation ideal for food processing and fresh produce handling.

Positioned directly after the vegetable washer, the BCA utilizes a mechanism that opens the chute only when a basket is correctly aligned for filling, preventing product waste. The process is facilitated by a height sensor, allowing precise control over the amount dispensed. The system’s torque protection enhances safety by stopping operations if an obstruction is detected.

With a maximum capacity contingent on your preceding equipment speed, it comfortably accommodates basket loads up to 15 kg. The BCA integrates effortlessly into existing processing lines, supported by a hygienic control panel featuring intuitive push-button commands for simple navigation. Optional configurations, such as blue or fine-mesh baskets, offer flexibility for various product sizes.

This carousel system, often paired with complementary equipment like spiral washers and centrifuges, is a versatile choice for food processing companies and fresh produce packers, striving for efficiency and reliability in demanding environments.
