The Helix family of washing systems is ideally suited for cut or uncut leafy vegetables and fruits. It is also widely used for diced root vegetables, with excellent results.
Helix washing systems create a horizontal helical current that increases the wash path to about four times the length of the tank. It evenly spaces out your products within the tank to allow more surface contact and optimal use of tank space. The product is propelled by the gentle current, minimizing damage from mechanical contact. An air bubble generator floods the tank with bubbles that shake dirt off your product without damaging it.
Heavy particles such as sand, dirt and small rocks settle in the tank's trough, where they are trapped under a perforated metal mesh, preventing them from recirculating into the main tank.
Finally, a gooseneck elevator gently lifts the product out of the tank and a sprinkler gives it a final fresh water rinse. Air knives help dislodge material from the conveyor, and the product is ready for further processing.
