How to Choose a Fruit Washing Machine?

Selecting the right fruit washing machine depends on your fruit type, hygiene standards, and production needs. Here are the key factors to consider:

• Washing Method:

  • Bubble washing is ideal for soft, delicate fruits like berries or cherries, as it gently removes dirt without damage.

  • Brush washing is suitable for thicker-skinned fruits like apples or oranges that can tolerate friction.

  • High-pressure spray washing is effective for large or firm fruits and vegetables that need deeper cleaning.

• Water Recycling System:
  Choose machines with water filtration and recycling systems to reduce water consumption and comply with sustainability practices.

• Food-Grade Materials:
  Ensure the equipment is made of AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and compliant with food safety standards (e.g., HACCP, FDA).

• Automation & Throughput:
  Consider the level of automation and required capacity. Fully automated systems can handle higher volumes with consistent performance and lower labor costs.

• Compatibility with Production Line:
  Make sure the washing unit integrates smoothly with your sorting, grading, or packaging equipment.
