Washing & Drying line developed for delicate strawberries, tomatoes
The KRONEN GEWA 5000 washing machine is able to wash up to 2 tons of fresh strawberries - and other products such as tomatoes - are washed per hour. The machine is specially designed for gentle, continuous washing followed by a combined suction/blowing unit on the belt outfeed.
First, the height-adjustable DRYING/BLOWING UNIT (1) is drying the upper side of the strawberries (and other products), from a vertical position.
The SUCTION UNIT (2) removes all the water that is caught in the mesh belt and also reduces the water content from the lower surface of the strawberries coming from the washer. This feature enables a significant reduction of water diversion to subsequent processing steps.
An additional BLOWING UNIT (3) installed below the belt
By means of this gentle washing & drying procedure the strawberries - and any other products - are ideally prepared for further processing (in this case: shock freezing).
Further highlights of this machine are the KRONEN Water-Management-System (WMS = centrally controlled filling and emptying of the washing machines) with 3 sand trap funnels as well as a lateral fines removal drum.
