U-type Roller Washing Machine for Fruit and Vegetable Cleaning
The U-type roller washing machine is designed for intensive surface cleaning of fruits and vegetables. It is commonly used together with a bubble washing elevator, allowing materials to be soaked, rolled, brushed and rinsed continuously before entering the next processing step.
Key Features
- U-shaped brush roller structure increases contact time between material and brush surface.
- Suitable for removing mud, dust and surface impurities from root vegetables and firm fruits.
- Can be connected after a bubble washing elevator for soaking, tumbling and pre-cleaning.
- Adjustable configuration for different product sizes and cleaning intensity requirements.
- Food-processing structure with stainless-steel contact parts available on request.
- Compact layout, easy to integrate into washing, peeling, cutting and grading lines.
Typical Applications
- Potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and other root vegetables
- Apples, pears, plums and other firm fruits
- Dates, preserved fruit raw materials and agricultural products requiring surface brushing
- Pre-cleaning before peeling, pitting, cutting, grading or drying
Working Process
- Materials enter the bubble washing elevator for soaking and tumbling.
- Air bubbles loosen mud and impurities while the mesh belt conveys products forward.
- Clean-water spray rinses the products near the discharge section.
- Products enter the U-type roller brush area for stronger surface brushing.
- Washed products are discharged to the next machine or collecting table.
