KRONEN K1040H – Horizontal drying system for vegetables and leafy salads

Efficient and gentle drying up to 1,500 kg/h

The KRONEN K1040H is a fully automated horizontal centrifugal drying system designed for integration into continuous processing lines for vegetables, leafy salads, and vegan products. This compact and high-performance system efficiently removes surface water while ensuring maximum protection of product quality.

With a capacity of up to 1,500 kg/h, the K1040H represents an ideal solution for medium and large production capacities in the fresh-cut processing industry.


Key advantages

  • Drying capacity up to 1,500 kg/h

  • Gentle centrifugal drying while preserving product structure

  • Continuous operation with integration into existing washing and packaging lines

  • High drying efficiency – reducing residual moisture to just 2–4%

  • Compact design with minimal space requirements

  • Easy operation with adjustable settings for different products

  • Hygienic design for easy cleaning and maintenance

  • Optimal product preparation for automatic weighing and packaging


Application areas

The K1040H system is suitable for a wide range of products, including:

  • Leafy salads (baby leaf, salad mixes, lettuce)

  • Spinach and herbs

  • Cut vegetables (carrots, onions, cabbage)

  • Fresh-cut vegetables

  • Pickled vegetables

  • Vegan products and plant-based alternatives

Thanks to the large drum surface and optimized feeding system, drying is uniform and extremely gentle, even for delicate products.


Working principle

After the washing process, the product is automatically transferred onto the infeed conveyor of the K1040H system. The centrifugal drum removes surface water using high centrifugal force, and the dried product is then automatically discharged into containers or conveyed to the next stage – weighing and packaging.

The system allows adjustment of drying speed and time in four levels, ensuring optimal drying results for different product types.
