Fruit washer for efficient cleaning and sanitizing
In the food processing industry, maintaining high standards of hygiene is crucial when handling various types of fruit. Contaminants and residues need to be removed effectively to meet safety regulations and preserve product quality.
Cleans and sanitizes fruit efficiently
The fruit washer FW by Sormac is designed for cleaning and sanitizing fruit of various buoyancies, such as apples, peaches, plums, and melons. The system uses a combination of water streams and a variable speed compartmental paddle system to assist the fruit through the washer. The paddles, mounted on two plastic chains, ensure effective cleaning. For products with negative buoyancy, a modular conveyor belt ensures controlled transportation. An air agitation system intensifies the washing action. Dwell time can be adjusted between 1.5 and 5 minutes, and the paddles can be removed for uninterrupted flow. The system also includes a separate tank with a pump and sieve for water collection.
