Centrifugal vegetable dryer for leafy and heavy vegetables
In post-washing processes of leafy and heavy vegetables, removing excess water efficiently while preserving the integrity and natural juices of the produce is crucial. This step ensures product quality and extends shelf life, particularly in industrial settings with large volume requirements.
Efficient removal of washing water
The LS-ES, from The Food Machinery Company Ltd, is a stainless steel centrifugal dryer designed specifically for industrial use. It operates by placing washed vegetables into special plastic baskets, which are then inserted into a basket holder within the dryer. Once the lid is closed, the machine begins to spin at 550 RPM, an optimal speed for removing washing water without damaging the vegetables or losing their natural juices. This process ensures that both leafy greens and small quantities of heavier vegetables are dried efficiently. Key features include automatic operation upon lid closure and a break motor that halts operations immediately when the lid is opened. An optional electronic timer allows for preset operation times. The machine’s dimensions are 580 x 740 x 855 mm with a deployment altitude of 830 mm. It requires a 1 Ph / 230 V / 3.6 A power supply and operates at 2800 RPM, with the basket holder spinning at 550 RPM. Weighing 125 kg, the LS-ES exhibits stable performance suitable for continuous industrial use.
