Wash Chamber

When the fruit passes through the warm water wash and rinse chambers the detergent is also being applied along with the wash water. Generally warm water washes and rinses will give you a better cleaning action, and in the case of apples from cold storage, the warm water retards condensation and helps wax adhere more evenly and dry better.

 
Brush Washing
After the warm water and rinse chamber the fruit is then moved to the brush rotation which keeps the fruit moving gently and safely down the line to the fresh water rinse. All of our washers are equipped with drain pans to help eliminate splashing, and our drive mechanisms are totally enclosed and never exposed to water, detergents or waxes. This, of course, reduces maintenance costs and increases equipment life.
 
Fresh Water Rinse

Next, is the fresh water rinse. When the fruit enters it is rinsed with a mist-like spray which is being emitted by overhead nozzles. This prduces a thorough rinising. All of our cleaning and treating equipmet has been carefully engineered to insure gentle and proper handling. We're big on safety, too. Our systems all include automatic shutdown features in case water tempereatures should ever get to hot.

 
Polishing and Waxing

Finally, this is where the fruits have been washed, cleaned, sanitised, rinsed, and dried. In other words they're in perfect condition for polishing and waxing. That's why a good washer is so vital. It eliminates chemical residues, as well as dust and dirt. And if you're packing peaches, it'll even take care of the fuzz removal. We're talking low maintenance, long life systems designed to accommodate a host of add-ons including hot water recirculation units, water eliminators, and detergent and wax applicators.
