Kronen HEWA Continuous Flume Washers (Copy)
Our HEWA models are washing machines for lettuce, vegetables, herbs, fruit and other foods and boast an ultra hygienic design. The machines have no horizontal surfaces whatsoever, thus allowing the water to completely discharge and avoid the formation of biofilm. What’s more, the machines can also be quickly and easily dismantled for fast and thorough cleaning.
Like their predecessor models, the GEWA PLUS washing machines, the HEWA models use the innovative HELICAL washing system and offer a flexible range of accessories and attachments. They are used for the continuous, gentle and effective pre-washing, washing, disinfection, mixing, treatment and rinsing of products such as lettuce, fruit and vegetables. All of the machines can be integrated into processing lines.
Options include insect removal systems, continuous self cleaning filtration, water management, outfeed conveyor belt or vibrator deck and many more.
ENQUIRE ONLINE01449 771 202The wash tank is filled either automatically via an infeed belt or manually. Both floating and sinking products are conveyed through the wash tank in a spiral movement by the HELICAL washing system. The flow rate and movement of the water in the wash tank can be adjusted to suit different products. At the end of the wash tank, the product and the water are transported to a vibration or belt outfeed by means of an overflow and sprayed with a fresh water shower. The water flows through a strainer into the pump tank, from which it is pumped back into the wash tank and used again.
Versatile application options:
Lettuce (e.g. baby leaf, iceberg): cut and whole leaves
Vegetables: cut and whole
Herbs (e.g. parsley, chives): loose and in bunches
Fruit (e.g. pineapple, melon): cut and whole
Other leafy products (e.g. spinach), tuber products, pulses and mushrooms, as well as seaweed or kelp
As a result, the HEWA ensures an undamaged, optimally cleaned product that, if necessary, has been disinfected with a washing additive. In addition, the product can be efficiently mixed (e.g. mixed salads) and cooled down by the washing process.
