Cleaning & Sorting Tables and Rinsing Elevators & Mills for Fruit
Fruit Washers are typically multipurpose machines that not only perform multiple tasks but are integral in setting up a continuously operating production line.
Horizontal units act as a heavy cleaning and sorting station, utilizing high-pressure sprayers, multiple cleaning brushers and augers with bristles to separate and thoroughly clean fruit, allowing the user to inspect and remove any undesirable pieces before they make it to the next stage of the production process.
Rinsing Elevators with Mills have a bin-height rinsing basin with bubble jets and recirculating water to keep the fruit in constant motion after it’s dumped in (usually using a bin tipper). An elevator—either an auger or conveyor—carries the fruit up to the hammer mill while high-pressure sprayers rinse the fruit off as it passes. The output chute of the mill can be configured as a “doser” with a slide release and pressure sensor to provide the specific volume needed for the layers of a packing press, or with a PLC connection that communicates with the infeed hopper of a belt press to control the operation.
