By hand or by conveyer the product has to be loaded in a constant and even flow into the washing tank.

The conveyers will transport the product gently through the washing process. Air bubbles from the bottom supports the removal of dirt and spins the product while from the top water sprays. Perforations in the under belt ensures sand and other dirt to wash and fall off.

At the outfeed section the product gets dewatered by an adjustable air knife. The hood has easy access doors, and can be lifted on one side for easy cleaning. Construction the machine is made of stainless steel (304) and food grade polymers. Round materials are used whenever possible to ensure proper hygiene.

The KDB 120 dipping bath has been developed for final treatment of peeled and cut fruit and vegetables. To extend product shelf life, and retain appearance and quality, some products need to be dipped in a post process solution to prevent browning. Essential requirements of the process are to ensure the required retention time and to minimise use of the solution, to reduce operating costs

Working principle:

• The KDB 120 dipping bath will be filled with the peeled and/or cut product via the feeding hopper. This can be done manually or by using an infeed conveyor.
• The product will be transported through the filled tank and, additionally, sprayed from the top. The open and easy access construction guarantees gentle product treatment.
• The contact time of the product is adjustable from 30 to 120 seconds.
• The water level in the dipping bath is infinitely variable according to product quantity and size.
• With a minimum water volume of 24 litres, corresponding to a water level of 10 mm, the function of the machine is fully guaranteed. The KDB dipping bath is the device with the smallest fill quantity on the market and ensure your operating costs are kept to the minimum
• At the end of the process, the product can be dried by an air knife (optional) and then will be discharged directly into a container or on a conveyor belt (optional) for further processing.

The space-saving KDB 120 dipping bath can easily be integrated into existing fruit or vegetable processing lines but also can be operated as a stand-alone machine. The solid industrial machine is completely made of stainless steel AISI 304 or FDA approved plastics (all parts that are in contact with food) and can easily be cleaned and maintained.

This prevents cross-contamination, since no germs are passed on between products and transferred from the product skin to sensitive cut surfaces during the processing stage. Thus the shelf life of end products, such as fruit salad, improves.

As a solution for the transition from “low care” to “high care” production areas, the DECONWA Prep ensures optimal hygiene right at the start of the production process. The DECONWA food prep machine is generally suitable for all applications in which raw products should be decontaminated before further processing, e.g. peeling and/or cutting, to avoid cross-contamination. Different setting options enable easy adaptation to different products and production requirements.

Thoroughly washing salads and vegetables, fruit, herbs but also sliced products until they are completely clean – that’s the job of the KRONEN GEWA ECO and GEWA PLUS range of continuous flume washer systems.

All of the flume washer machines work continuously using a combination of water agitation for cleaning, and a vibrator for de-watering and transportation (V-version). Other options include mesh belt outfeed (B-version)
for delicate products, instead of the vibrator system, and air agitation to work with, or in place of, the standard water agitation system.

Valve control over the water flow, direction and pressure enable you to adjust the machine to the specific requirements of your product. For example, delicate salad and baby leaf products require a more gentle wash than harder root vegetables. Water is recirculated through the system to keep operating costs low.

The Vortex-line from KRONEN has been developed to ensure guaranteed retention sanitising of fresh produce such as leaf salads, vegetables and fruit.  Only by ensuring accurate control of retention time, in your chosen biocide, can you be sure of achieving a reduction in microbial levels and extended shelf life and an increase in the quality of your products.

Soft inflowing of product: The product enters gently into a pipe system without passing through a pump. Chemicals and sanitizing products can be added at different stages of the product transportation through the machine. At the discharge, the product is rinsed with fresh water through special nozzles placed on top of the exit conveyor belt.

Flexible dwell time – product-friendly treatment step: Flexible contact and dwell time of the produce is adjustable from 1 to 3 minutes. Length of the piping system can be adapted to dwell time (e.g. between 60 – 180 sec.) according to individual customer requirements.

Optimal integration into processing lines: The modular and space-saving tubular system can easily be integrated into existing salad processing lines, various installation layouts for customer specific conditions are possible.

Simple cleaning: For mechanical cleaning the pipelines can be disassembled easily and quickly by means of screw connections.

Optional dosing station: To dose and control suitable additives for product treatment in the water cycle.

All KRONEN machines and lines are designed and constructed to the very highest standards and, therefore, are well suited to the demands of high intensity food production.
