Washes and Sanitizes Fruits and Vegetables

The Belt Washer BW from Sormac is a versatile solution designed for the efficient washing and sanitizing of a wide range of fruits and vegetables, tailored for small to medium-sized food processors. Utilizing an interwoven mesh belt, it transports produce through a wash tunnel equipped with overhead and under-belt nozzles, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning process. The device features dual stages: an initial wash with recirculated water, followed by a rinse with fresh water, optimizing both resource usage and cleaning efficacy. With a variable-speed motor offering dwell time adjustments between 2-14 m/min (6-42 ft/min), it accommodates different product types and cleaning intensities.

Ideal for washing lettuce, spinach, kale, apples, pears, carrots, and celeriac, the BW washer integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Its construction primarily from stainless steel guarantees durability and compliance with food industry standards, including FDA approval. The washer’s mobile design on stainless steel castors facilitates easy integration and repositioning, while the accessible water recirculation tank and inspection doors streamline cleaning and maintenance procedures.
