Sormac FC-540 vertical centrifuge for fresh-cut vegetables

The Sormac FC-540 is a redesigned automated vertical centrifuge for removing excess surface water from washed produce. It is designed to efficiently handle products such as cut iceberg lettuce, cabbage, carrots and other fresh-cut vegetables.

The machine operates as part of a continuous processing line, using a buffering belt system to guide product smoothly into the centrifuge. After each cycle, integrated air knives clean any remaining product from the drum, supporting hygienic operation and consistent performance.

Spin speed, acceleration and cycle duration are programmable via the control panel, and the centrifuge has multiple recipe settings which are designed to optimise performance for different product types. A gradual start and stop reduces stress on delicate leaves, while optimal airflow is designed to ensure efficient dewatering.

The machine features automatic discharge and a compact footprint, making it easy to integrate into fully automated fresh-cut processing lines. Its hygienic, easy-to-clean design meets strict food safety standards.

Sormac also offers a wide range of drying solutions for fresh-cut vegetables.
