Washes and Filters Fresh Produce Efficiently
The VWM-3600, an innovation from The Food Machinery Company, is crafted to enhance the cleaning process for fresh produce. What sets this machine apart is its ability to handle up to 1000 kg of vegetables per hour, utilizing a powerful pump system and strategically placed water nozzles for intensive cleaning. Ideal for leafy greens and root vegetables, it efficiently washes and filters to produce pre-washed salad mixes and diced vegetables, perfect for pre-packaged kits. The VWM-3600 seamlessly integrates into your processing line, transporting produce over a vibrating sieve for additional rinsing before recycling water to the wash tank. Constructed from durable materials, it comes with a perforated drum that doubles as a fly catcher to remove floating debris. Engineered with an eye for easy cleaning and maintenance, this machine is a vital component for modern food processing facilities aiming to uphold stringent hygiene standards.
