Conveyor spray washer | Fruit Processing Equipment
Expose fruit to controlled sprays while keeping the handling and inspection path visible.
Spray washing on a conveying surface
- Input
- Whole fruit with its size range, attached soil and fragility stated.
- Output
- Washed fruit delivered to an inspection or preparation interface.
Working principle
The carrying surface controls fruit residence beneath the spray arrangement. Coverage depends on presentation, turning or contact, spray access and actual soil. A higher pump rating alone does not prove that shielded fruit surfaces are cleaned.
Handling
Specify belt or roller surface, transfer heights and the risk of bruising or trapped fruit.
Water circuit
Define spray supply, return screening, drain points and the responsibility for water quality.
Acceptance
Use representative fruit and agreed cleanliness, damage and carryover criteria at a measured feed basis.
Material and operating limits
A spray duty is not a validated antimicrobial treatment or a universal replacement for all upstream debris removal.
Inlet, outlet and installation interfaces
Record fruit loading height, discharge spread, drainage, reject collection and access along the conveyor.
Cleaning and maintenance
Inspect nozzles, carrying surfaces, bearings outside the contact zone and removable debris traps. Define isolation and safe access before service.
Compare this duty
