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 primarily designed for the food industry, where it plays a crucial role in preparing vegetables for further processing or packaging.

The LDW-830 Line consists of 8 modules performing a series of key operations, such as:

• Loading – vegetables are loaded onto a screw conveyor with a hopper capacity of 2.5 m³. A pallet tipper (optional) or loader (not included) can be used for this purpose;
• Transportation – a L-shaped belt conveyor is used for this task, effectively and gently transporting the vegetables, ensuring proper efficiency and gentle handling of the produce;
• 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 conveyor to the next processing stage;
• Brushing – root vegetables are washed in a container with rotating brushes and water jets. High-pressure water removes dirt, while rotating brushes ensure thorough cleaning. After washing, the vegetables are transferred to a discharge tray;
• Drying of fruits and vegetables – the dehydration process is carried out using a machine with felt rollers, ensuring effective moisture removal from the products;
• Inspection – vegetables are manually sorted on an inspection table. Damaged or contaminated specimens are eliminated.

A single control panel is used to control the line, allowing control over all its elements. This panel enables powering individual components, adjusting the speed of feeding belts and the inspection table, as well as brush speeds. It is also equipped with a power indicator, inverters, and an emergency stop button. Additionally, each element of the line is equipped with an emergency stop button.
