Fruit handling

Brush and Spray Washer

Parallel brush rollers and overhead sprays provide an open washing zone before inspection and fruit-specific preparation.

Contact brushing and water sprays

Construction & selection

Cleaning structure: Parallel brush rollers and overhead spray pipework
Wash system boundary: Spray supply, debris collection and drainage
Produce selection: Surface soil, fruit size, ripeness and skin sensitivity

Request this machine

Brush characteristics and movement must suit the produce. This arrangement is not a bubble bath or a universal soft-fruit washer. Recirculation and water treatment are separately specified if included.

At the inlet

Fruit whose skin and firmness suit the selected brushing contact; heavily softened fruit needs a separate assessment.

At the outlet

Washed fruit ready for inspection or preparation, plus separately collected dirty water and removed debris.

How the machine works

The rollers turn the fruit as sprays wet its surfaces. Contact with the brushes removes surface material while water and debris leave the working zone below. The exposed bed makes brush and nozzle condition directly accessible after isolation.

Connect the surrounding equipment

Set the inlet loading and outlet drop with the preceding conveyor and next inspection step. A controlled layer of fruit exposes the surfaces more consistently than deep accumulation. Separate wash-water disposal from the useful product route.

Maintenance & cleaning access

Remove trapped stems and hard debris, check brush wear and clear spray openings. Give the underside and water collection area a physical wash-down route. Closed-pipe CIP does not clean an open roller bed by itself.
