Water bunker belt for pre-cleaning and conveying tuber vegetables
Ensure efficient pre-cleaning and seamless integration into your production line with the water bunker belt, ideal for removing soil and stones from tuber vegetables before peeling and further processing.
Pre-cleans and Conveys Tuber Vegetables
The Water Bunker Belt from KRONEN GmbH is engineered to effectively pre-clean and convey tuber vegetables in high-speed processing lines. Specializing in removing stones and soil from unpeeled potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables, it ensures a seamless transition to downstream peeling machines. With a tank capacity of 585 liters, this system processes up to 1,500 kg per hour, acting as a buffer to maintain continuous flow and enhance productivity.
Equipped with a robust stainless steel construction, it features a soaking mechanism that loosens impurities, depositing them into a specially designed collection bucket. The integrated cleated belt efficiently transfers pre-cleaned products to subsequent processing stages. Automation is facilitated through user-friendly controls linked to switch cabinets, allowing precise operations.
The water bunker belt supports optional accessories like the REH-900 crate tipper for ergonomic loading and unloading, further optimizing efficiency. Its design accommodates various product sizes and integrates seamlessly into existing potato and vegetable processing lines, making it an indispensable asset for automated food production facilities. The equipment’s maintenance-friendly design and quick-cleaning capabilities ensure minimal downtime, enhancing overall line efficiency and reliability.
