Pre-washing solution for floating produce
In food processing plants, especially those handling delicate vegetables or leafy greens, maintaining product integrity during the initial wash phase is crucial. Manual washing methods or older machines can cause mechanical stress and reduce product quality.

This system ensures that floating products are pre-washed without additional mechanical stress, preserving their quality. The GEWA AF achieves high levels of hygiene and significantly reduces water consumption. The standard system includes modules for submerging products gently, separating sand and stones, and removing insects. The GEWA AF’s modular design allows for flexibility, making it suitable for various production requirements.
