Simulated Manual Cleaning
The cleaning machine utilizes a water bath bubble cleaning method to simulate manual cleaning processes. This system generates a tumbling action caused by the release of bubbles, resulting in an irregular and vigorous flipping motion of the materials in the water. This movement effectively separates attachments on the surfaces of the items being cleaned, enhancing efficiency while avoiding damage such as bumps and scratches. The machine consists of a water tank, hoist, circulating flush water pump, and transmission components. During operation, water pressure causes fruits and vegetables to be rolled and stirred vigorously, after which the cleaning water is filtered and pressurized by the circulating pump through an adjustable feed inlet nozzle for back washing. High-pressure water is sprayed from the nozzle, providing a second wash before the items are conveyed to the outlet, where a scraper elevator efficiently handles and transports them to the next processing stage. Users can request the addition of a spray pipe for further cleaning. This equipment primarily employs high-pressure water flow and a bubble generator to scrub the cleaning surfaces, utilizing the energy from bursting bubbles. Made from stainless steel, the machine is easy to maintain, operates reliably, and ensures safety through food-grade materials, while its adjustable speed conveyor minimizes the risk of damage to the conveyed items.
Single and Double Slot Cleaning
Our vegetable washing machines are available in two configurations: single slot and double slot models, each designed to meet specific cleaning requirements for various produce types. The single slot vegetable washing machine is ideal for products with minimal impurities, such as leafy vegetables like lettuce, spinach, kale, and arugula. It’s also perfect for fruits with smooth surfaces like bananas, oranges, apples, pears, plums, and grapes, as well as vegetables such as bell peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini. Its efficient design provides thorough cleaning for these relatively clean items, ensuring they are ready for market or further processing.
For products with higher levels of impurities, our double slot vegetable washing machine offers enhanced cleaning capabilities. This model is particularly effective for root vegetables like radishes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and turnips freshly harvested from sandy soil. It’s also ideal for fruits with rough textures or deep crevices, such as pineapples, melons, and strawberries, as well as vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, which can harbor soil particles in their florets. The double slot design incorporates filter partitions on both sides, which effectively trap and isolate impurities during the cleaning process. This dual-action approach maximizes cleaning efficiency, guaranteeing that even the most soil-laden produce emerges spotless and market-ready. By offering both single and double slot options, we ensure that our clients can select the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for their specific produce cleaning needs, optimizing their operations and maintaining the highest standards of product quality.
Various Mesh Belt Options
Our selection of mesh belts includes a variety of materials and designs to meet diverse washing needs. The types available are PU conveyor mesh belts, PVC conveyor mesh belts, nylon conveyor mesh belts, polyethylene conveyor mesh belts, stainless steel conveyor mesh belts, modular mesh conveyor belts, polypropylene conveyor mesh belts, Teflon conveyor mesh belts, plastic chain plate conveyor mesh belts, and chain plate mesh belts. Among these, four types stand out as the most commonly used: chain conveyor belts, normal mesh belts, roller conveyor belts and PVC belts.
For conveying heavier fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe, the chain plate mesh belt is recommended due to its durability and strength. In contrast, the standard chain mesh belt is ideal for lighter fruits and vegetables, including herbs, spinach, and celery. To prevent damage to delicate-skinned fruits during transport, roller conveyor belts are typically employed, as they provide a gentler handling option that minimizes bruising and injury. This range of mesh belts ensures that we can effectively cater to different handling requirements and product sensitivities in the food processing and agricultural sectors. For delicate fruits and vegetables which are washed and then directly pacakaged, we recommend using PVC mesh belts. These belts are designed to protect produce from damage before packaging, and their baffles can be customized in height to accommodate the specific types of fruits and vegetables you are washing. For instance, watermelons require higher baffles, while tomatoes need shorter ones.
We offer a range of tailored cleaning options designed to meet the specific needs of different produce types:
1. Delicate Fruits: For fragile fruits like strawberries, which are susceptible to skin damage, we recommend using roller conveyor bubble cleaning machines. It is crucial to lower the water spray pressure during the cleaning process to protect the delicate skins of the strawberries.
2. Hardier Fruits and Vegetables: For more robust fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, guavas, and green mangoes, we suggest a combination of bubble spray cleaning and parallel brush cleaning. Depending on the specific requirements, a secondary spray may also be utilized for enhanced cleanliness.
Notably:
– Green Mangoes should be cleaned using a parallel roller cleaning machine to accommodate their tougher skins.
– Ripe Mangoes, on the other hand, can be effectively cleaned with the bubble cleaning method alone.
3. Corn: To address the cleaning of corn, corn on the cob should be cleaned with a medium-hard brush cleaning machine to effectively remove any silk. If the corn is relatively clean and free of silk, a bubble cleaning machine is suitable for a gentle wash. Additionally, our bubble cleaning machines can be equipped with a brush attachment specifically designed to collect the silk from corn and other hairy vegetables.
One of our U.S. clients operates a vegetable and fruit processing plant and required a washing line for both okra and strawberries. Given the delicate nature of strawberries, we recommended a bubble vegetable washing machine with roller transfer systems, along with air dryers and other essential equipment. To meet his production output of 800 kg/h, we customized a 3-meter-long machine and adjusted the output configuration to fit his workshop layout. We also provided a schematic diagram for machine placement, which he found helpful. He was very satisfied with our product and service, leading him to subsequently order a 500 kg/h washing line from us.
These custom solutions ensure optimal cleaning while maintaining the quality and integrity of the produce.
