Equipment catalogue / Equipment duties
Water-bath fruit washer | Fruit Processing Equipment
Review a bath-based washing duty where fruit contact, debris separation and drainage can be controlled.
Water contact with controlled removal
- Input
- Whole fruit with known buoyancy, strength and soil conditions.
- Output
- Washed fruit lifted or conveyed into the next preparation step.
Working principle
Water contact can assist soil loosening and fruit movement; the offered system must define how floating, settling and entrained debris leave the bath. Agitation is a configuration choice that must suit the fruit, not an automatic quality benefit.
Material behaviour
Check whether the fruit floats, sinks, bruises or traps debris during the proposed contact and removal.
Bath management
Identify circulation, make-up, drainage, screening and cleaning access. Do not confuse water reuse with a verified water-quality programme.
Acceptance
Measure the actual feed rate, retained water, visible cleanliness and product damage under the agreed operating conditions.
Material and operating limits
The category does not establish washing efficacy, water consumption or suitability for delicate fruit.
Inlet, outlet and installation interfaces
Provide incoming conveyor, bath overflow/drain, fruit discharge and dirty-water boundaries.
Cleaning and maintenance
Allow access to settled debris, screens, lifting sections and internal surfaces; isolate agitation and conveying mechanisms before cleaning.
