APPLICATIONS
Water and air cleaner is a device
used in food industry for washing fruits before
processing.
CONSTRUCTION
The device is made of stainless
steel and consists of following elements:
feed hopper
wash basin
drying conveyor
optionally, system for water
treatment (filter, buffer tank, circulating pump)
FUNCTIONAL
PRINCIPLE
B&P Engineering manufactures two
types of water and air cleaners:
for floating fruits
for non-floating fruits
The difference between these two
types of cleaners consists in transport between the input and
output of the device. Raw material comes directly into the wash
basin with collectors with nozzles that let air out underwater to
enhance the cleaning performance. Above water level there are
collectors with washing nozzles supplied by water circulating pump.
Supply of the pump is protected by sieve filter that filters out
larger impurities. Depending on the kind of material the transport
is realized by means of belt equipped with collectors (for
non-floating fruits) or conveyor wings (floating fruits). At the
outlet of raw material there is a system for flushing and drying of
the product. It consists of flushing collector supplied with clean
water and of drying nozzles powered by fan. Water circulating
system can be equipped with water pretreatment ensuring high
cleaning efficiency.
