Leafy vegetable desander
In the leafy vegetable processing industry, ensuring the removal of contaminants such as small stones, clay granules, and sand particles is crucial. Efficient cleaning systems are needed to maintain high product quality and comply with food safety standards.
Removes small stones, clay granules, and sand particles
The Sormac leafy vegetable desander BO is designed to tackle the challenge of removing small stones, clay granules, and sand particles from leafy vegetables like lamb’s lettuce. It operates with an integrated air-injection system that fully submerges the produce in water, creating turbulence that loosens and separates the particles. The desander has a conical washer base, enabling sand and other particles to sink and be gathered centrally. These contaminants are then transported by spirals into a collection tank, which has a large manhole opening to facilitate maintenance and cleaning. The system can handle up to 1,000 kg of produce per hour, with variations based on the level of sand residues. The outfeed side features a spray bar that rinses the produce with clean water before it moves to the next washing stage. Additionally, optional features include a longer outfeed belt and stainless steel motors for enhanced durability.
