LDW-830 vegetable washing line with inspection table

LDW-830 line equipped with an inspection table is a comprehensive system for automating the washing and inspection of vegetables. It is designed primarily for the food industry, where it plays a key role in preparing vegetables for further processing or packaging.

The LDW-830 line consists of 8 modules that perform a number of key operations, such as:

• loading – the vegetables are loaded onto a rod conveyor with a feed hopper with a capacity of 2.5 m³. You can use a box pallet tipper (option) or a loader (not part of the set);
• transport – an L-shaped belt conveyor is used for this operation, which effectively and gently transfers the vegetables, ensuring appropriate throughput and careful handling;
• washing – the washing process takes place in a drum washer with a discharge conveyor, by rubbing the product against the drum walls. After washing, the products are transported by a conveyor to the next processing stage;
• brushing – root vegetables are washed in a tank with rotating brushes and water nozzles. High-pressure water removes dirt, and the rotating brushes ensure thorough washing. After washing, the vegetables are transferred to a discharge tray;
• drying fruit and vegetables – the dewatering process is performed by a machine with felt rollers, ensuring effective removal of moisture from the products;
• inspection – the vegetables are manually sorted on an inspection table. Damaged or contaminated items are removed.

The line is operated via a single control panel that enables control over all its elements. This panel allows powering individual components, adjusting the speeds of the infeed belts and the inspection table, as well as the brush speed. It is also equipped with a power indicator, frequency inverters, and an emergency stop button. Additionally, each element of the line is equipped with an emergency stop button.
