Industrial washing system for vegetables and fruit

Washes, Disinfects, and Mixes Fresh Produce

The HEWA 2600 from KRONEN GmbH is a versatile industrial washing and disinfection machine, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of food processing environments. The unique HELICAL washing system ensures thorough cleaning by guiding produce through a spiral path, optimizing water usage while maintaining product integrity. Able to process up to 600 kg per hour, the HEWA 2600 is ideal for salads, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and other leafy and tuber products. Its capability to handle both cut and whole items makes it suitable for producing mixed salad bags, pre-cut vegetable medleys, and more. The machine integrates seamlessly into production lines, positioned typically downstream of cutting machines, ensuring a continuous, automatic flow without the need for constant manual intervention.

Constructed with AISI 304 stainless steel, the HEWA 2600 offers excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic operation, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance due to its design with no horizontal surfaces to harbor residues. The modular design allows for customization, accommodating specific operational needs such as the addition of an air system or a sand trap for products with high sand content. The machine’s PLC-controlled operations offer automation and remote monitoring capabilities, enhancing integration into networked production environments. Optional features like the lateral fine particle removal drum and pressure switch for water level measurement further enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, the HEWA 2600 can be part of a water management or recycling system, significantly reducing water consumption and ensuring sustainability.
