The GEWA 3800 ECO from KRONEN is a versatile washing system designed for the continuous pre-washing, washing, disinfection, and treatment of cut and whole lettuce, vegetables, herbs, and fruit. Utilizing the HELICAL washing system, it achieves a flow rate and movement that can be adjusted to suit various types of produce. This system facilitates thorough cleaning while reducing water consumption. The product moves through the wash tank in a spiral motion, ensuring even distribution and minimizing damage. The system boasts a capacity of up to 1,800 kg/h and offers automatic filling options, either via an infeed belt or manual input.
