Kronen Vortex sanitising waterflow system for fresh-cuts

Friday, 26 August, 2011 | Supplied by: Reactive Engineering Pty Ltd

The Kronen Vortex sanitising waterflow system claims germ reduction on fresh-cut products.

It has been developed for the final treatment stage of vegetables such as leaf salads, root products, etc and also fruits like apples and grapes, achieving germ reduction and prolongation of shelf life and, consequently, increase of product quality.

The principle of the Vortex is simple: it operates by means of a tubular system (inside diameter 150 mm) with in-feed and out-feed openings. The washed produce (vegetable, fruit) will be poured into a funnel. The produce will be flushed gently and reliably into the sanitising water flow by lateral rotation nozzles. Thereafter, the produce flowing through the total tube length will be conveyed to the outlet.

The produce then will be delivered to an out-feed belt or vibration belt by means of a water slide. Flexible contact and dwell time of the produce is adjustable from 1 to 3 min.

The modular and space-saving tubular system can easily be integrated into existing salad processing lines. Installation layouts for specific operations can be provided.
