Fruit Washer for Processing Lines

What a Fruit Washer removes

Fresh fruit arrives with soil, dust, leaves, insects and farm residue on the skin. Washing is usually the first step in a vegetable processing plant or juice line, because anything left on the skin ends up in the product. Thorough washing also reduces wear on peelers and cutters further along the processing line.

Washers of this type usually soak the fruit in a tank and keep it moving, often with air bubbles, spray bars or soft brushes. The goal is to clean the surface without bruising soft fruit.

Build points we can confirm

• Stainless steel construction
• High tensile strength and good dimensional accuracy
• Corrosion resistant, for constant contact with water
• Low maintenance
• Made for the food and beverages industry

Typical values for this type

Machines in this class usually have SS304 contact parts on a mild steel frame and run semi-automatic to fully automatic as part of a line. Capacity varies with the size of the machine and the line rate. These are typical values, so we confirm them once we know your fruit and output.

Ordering a Fruit Washer for export

We ask which fruit you process, how firm it is and the tonnes per hour you need. Buyers usually ask us whether to use brushes or bubbles, since soft fruit like berries needs a gentler wash than apples or citrus. We ship to Bangladesh, Brazil, Ecuador and beyond, and support tender orders with the paperwork they need.

Washed fruit often goes on to a blanching machine or into a fruit processing plant for pulp, juice and jam. See our food processing plants and line range for more. The WHO page on water, sanitation and health covers the water quality side of washing produce.
