The GEWA 5000 PLUS is used for pre-washing,
washing, disinfecting, mixing, treating and rinsing
salad leaves, vegetables and fruit. It can be used
flexibly and is usually positioned downstream of a
cutting machine between the low-care and highcare area.
The wash tank is filled either automatically via an
infeed belt or manually. Both floating and sinking
products are conveyed through the wash tank by
the HELICAL washing system in a spiral motion. The
flow rate and movement of the water in the wash
tank can be adjusted to suit different products. At
the end of the wash tank, the product and with the water are transported to a belt outfeed
by means of an overflow and sprayed with a fresh
water shower. The water flows through a strainer
into the pump tank, from which it is pumped back
into the wash tank and used again.
Applications:
Lettuce (e.g. baby leaf, iceberg): cut and whole
leaves
Vegetables: cut and whole
Herbs (e.g. parsley, chives): loose and in
bunches
Fruit (e.g. pineapple, melon): cut and whole
Other leafy products (e.g. spinach), tuber
products, pulses and mushrooms, as well as
seaweed or kelp
As a result, the GEWA ensures an undamaged,
optionally cleaned product that, if necessary, has
been disinfected with a washing additive. In
addition, the product can be efficiently mixed (e.g.
mixed salads) and cooled down by the washing
process.
The belt outfeed may enable
a higher capacity and is more suitable for
individual products.
