Washers are used in canned fruit and vegetable production lines. The operation of the washing machine is based on the continuous loading of the product into the washing space of the bathtub filled with water.

 

This machine consists of:

1) baths;

2) brush drums;

3) adjustable pallet;

4) elevator;

5) roller conveyor;

6) shower collectors;

7) drive;

8) electrical equipment.

The product loaded into the front part of the bath falls on an inclined stone separator, from where it is fed under rotating brush drums.

The loading zone serves also for pre-locking the product and for separating pop-up organic impurities from it using a special overflow device.

Coming under the rotating drums, the fruits are moved along the pallet to the elevator, at the same time being cleaned of dirt.

Depending on their size, the distance between the drums can be changed within 50 mm. Falling on the elevator, the fruits are washed by jets of water supplied through a collector installed above the elevator. From the elevator, they enter the roller conveyor, where, due to the rotation of the rollers, they turn and are again washed by jets of water coming from the collector installed above the conveyor.
