Centrifuge for drying delicate salad leaves and vegetables
When processing delicate salad leaves, standard lettuces, and prepared vegetables, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the produce during the drying process. Traditional methods often cause damage due to direct contact with drum parts, leading to product waste and inefficiencies.

Dries delicate produce with minimal damage
The Centrifuge SC from Sormac is engineered to provide ultimate control and gentle handling during the drying process of delicate salad leaves, lettuces, prepared vegetables, and herbs. The centrifuge features a smooth inner drum surface devoid of a central axle and other contact parts, thereby minimizing damage to the produce. Its patented magnetic bearing suspension support delivers a nearly silent operational sequence and ensures seamless performance. The infeed system distributes the produce evenly around the drum circumference to reduce movement during the spin cycle. The centrifuge offers 20 programmable settings for optimal drying tailored to various products. Capable of processing up to 2,000 kg per hour, its design includes an automatic slow-down feature and high-pressure air knife cleaning for continuous, interruption-free operation.
