Why buyers choose it
- First Chamber: 500rpm vortex drum with rubber baffles loosens stubborn dirt (clay, sand) from crevices.
- Second Chamber: 300rpm polishing drum with food-grade brushes removes residual debris and wax coatings.
- High-Efficiency Water Recycling: 90% of washing water reused via a three-stage filtration system (50μm, 20μm, 5μm), reducing freshwater consumption to 0.8m3/ton.
- Anti-Compression Design: Spiral conveyor with 50mm spacing prevents bruising, while the inclined drum (15° angle) ensures continuous material flow without jams.
- Hygienic Elevation: Stainless steel legs (400mm height) facilitate floor cleaning, with quick-release drain valves for complete water evacuation during CIP.

Processes items ≥30mm in diameter; smaller roots (e.g., baby carrots) require optional mesh inserts to prevent slippage.
How is water temperature controlled?
Integrated heat exchanger maintains washing water at 15-25°C, preventing enzyme activation and preserving produce crispness.
