Description

Features

Each unit may be used singularly or as a combination for effective product cleaning. The Floatation Washer unit uses water to allow small lighter foreign material such as leaves, chips of wood, polyethene/polystyrene etc. to float to the surface thus separating from the heavier vegetable produce.
The Stone Remover is designed on a flotation principle Product is transported over a series of rifle plates where denser than product material is deposited.
An efficient combination of units for separating stones, sand, glass, metal, wood and other foreign matter from peas, beans and similar materials.
Flotation washer and de stoner designed to allow use singularly or in combination
The flotation tank uses careful design and water flows to separate buoyant material from the raw material. Water is recirculated to the flotation tank through a filter box to collect debris.
The destoning race uses a series of riffle plates to trap dense matter whilst the more buoyant raw material passes over in the water flow.
The riffle plates are lifted periodically to allow dense debris to collected and removed from the system.
A pumped, recirculating system with automated level control minimises water use
