A universal washing machine optimized in terms of both hygiene and cleaning – for the continuous pre-washing, washing, disinfection and treatment of both cut and whole lettuce, vegetables, herbs and fruit, among others.
4,000 kg/h Max. capacity
Versatile application options:
- Lettuce (e.g. baby leaf, iceberg): cut and whole leaves
- Vegetables: cut and whole
- Herbs (e.g. parsley, chives): loose and in bunches
- Fruit (e.g. pineapple, melon): cut and whole
- Other leafy products (e.g. spinach), tuber products, pulses and mushrooms, as well as seaweed or kelp
The wash tank is filled either automatically via an infeed belt or manually. Both floating and sinking products are conveyed through the wash tank in a spiral movement by the HELICAL washing system. The flow rate and movement of the water in the wash tank can be adjusted to suit different products. At the end of the wash tank, the product and the water are transported to a vibration or belt outfeed by means of an overflow and sprayed with a fresh water shower. The water flows through a strainer into the pump tank, from which it is pumped back into the wash tank and used again.
As a result, the HEWA ensures an undamaged, optimally cleaned product that, if necessary, has been disinfected with a washing additive. In addition, the product can be efficiently mixed (e.g. mixed salads) and cooled down by the washing process.
