Leafy vegetable washer with air injection system
Enhance your leafy vegetable processing with a sophisticated washing solution that combines gentle cleaning with effective particle removal, ensuring high-quality output and maintaining the integrity of delicate produce.
Washes and Separates Leafy Vegetables Efficiently
The PULSTAR Peristaltic Air Injection Salad Washer from Sormac is engineered to enhance the washing process of leafy vegetables such as salad greens, spinach, lettuce, arugula, and kale. It features an integrated air injection system that enables thorough cleaning without damaging the produce. The adjustable air flow creates peristaltic movements that gently yet effectively transport and clean the product, tackling challenges like dirt and small particle removal.
Ideal for food processing companies and salad producers, the washer supports continuous, automated operations with high capacity, reaching up to 4,000 kg per hour. Equipped with a frequency-driven circulation pump, it allows precise control over product dwell time and water flow. Integration options include an outfeed conveyor that can be configured for dewatering, enhancing the separation of water and product.
The PULSTAR washer stands out for its energy-efficient operation and modularity. Its construction materials ensure durability and corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for the rigorous demands of the fresh produce industry. Customizable features such as additional flycatchers, UV-C water disinfection, and adjustable components enable it to fit seamlessly into your production line, ensuring maximum efficiency and quality.
