Produce Washing Range
Fruit & Vegetable Washing Machines
Soil, pesticide residue and surface bacteria are removed at different points of a fresh produce line, and no single principle covers every product. This range spans air bubble, high-pressure spray, brush roller, vortex and ozone washing so the machine is matched to the crop instead of the crop to the machine. Capacities run from 100 kg per hour for a kitchen unit to 3,000 kg per hour for a continuous packing house line. Every wash body is built in food-grade stainless steel with a recirculation tank to keep water use and effluent under control.

Range Overview
Match the Washing Action to the Product
Washing performance is decided by how the water and the product meet: a bubble that lifts soil, a jet that shears it off, a brush that scrubs it away, a vortex that keeps the product tumbling, or ozone that oxidises micro-organisms in the same pass.
- Food-grade constructionTanks and food contact parts in 304 stainless steel, from 2 mm to 3 mm plate depending on the model, with engineering plastics only where contact must flex or wear.
- Continuous throughputMesh belt or quick-release vibrating conveyors keep product moving with no batch interruption, from a single kitchen unit up to a 6 m packing house line.
- Water recirculationFilter tanks, wedge screens and automatic top-up systems reuse wash water and separate soil, leaf and grit before discharge.
- Optional ozone and heatingOzone modules and heat-assisted tanks can be added where microbial reduction or wax and soil loosening is required.
Washing Method Comparison
Bubble, Spray, Brush, Vortex and Ozone
The same produce can be washed five different ways. Compare what each action actually does before choosing the line.
| Aspect | Air Bubble | High-Pressure Spray | Brush Roller | Vortex | Ozone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary action | Air bubbles lift and tumble the product through the water | Directed water jets shear soil from the surface | Rotating brushes scrub and peel by friction | Dual-pump spiral flow turns the product 360° | Dissolved ozone oxidises micro-organisms and residues |
| Removes best | Loose soil, grit, dust and light surface film | Heavy clay and caked mud on skins | Skin, eyes and root hairs, plus surface soil | Soil between leaves and on cut surfaces | Bacteria, mould spores and pesticide residue |
| Best for | Leafy greens, fruit, granules, seafood | Ginger, turmeric, potato, carrot, beetroot | Potato, carrot, taro, beetroot, onions | Leafy greens, cut roots, fruit, seafood | Vegetables, fruit, meat, chicken and fish |
| Gentleness on product | Very gentle, low mechanical contact | Moderate, pressure is adjustable per crop | Firm, soft brushes available for delicate items | Very gentle, smooth curved tank and no exposed nozzles | Gentle, no mechanical contact at all |
| Water handling | Recirculation tank with screen and top-up | Water recovery tank with wide reservoir | Recirculation tank plus drain valve | Two-stage wedge filtration, auto replenishment | Activated carbon circulation of the wash water |
| Peeling capability | No | No | Yes, with hard brushes | No | No |
| Where it sits in this range | Bubble & spray washer, vortex washer | High-pressure root washer | Root brush roller washer, fruit & veg washer | Vortex washer | Ozone bubble washer |
Most lines combine two or three of these actions in sequence. The comparison above describes the dominant action of each machine in this range, not a limit on the optional modules fitted to it.

Applications
Where These Washers Are Installed
From a single central kitchen tank to a continuous fresh-cut plant, the same platforms are specified across the food industry.
Fresh-Cut & Leafy Plants
Vortex and bubble lines wash cabbage, lettuce, spinach and herbs, then hand product to dewatering, drying and packing modules.
Root Crop & Ginger Lines
Brush roller and high-pressure spray units remove caked soil from potato, carrot, ginger, turmeric and sweet potato before cutting or freezing.
Seafood & Meat Rooms
Soft brush rollers and bubble tanks wash fish, shrimp, shellfish and poultry without damaging the surface, supporting hygiene control.
Institutional Kitchens
Compact ozone bubble washers fit school, hospital, hotel and canteen kitchens where disinfection matters more than throughput.
Distribution Centres
High-capacity vortex and bubble & spray lines feed supermarket and market distribution centres with continuous washed produce.
Pickle & Preserve Works
Washers handle pickle, chilli and brined vegetables, cleaning surface residue before curing and reducing the bacterial load entering the brine.
FAQ
Fruit & Vegetable Washing Machine Questions
Leafy greens and delicate fruit usually want bubble and gentle spray washing, while root crops need brush rollers or high-pressure spray to remove soil. Ozone suits any product that also needs microbial reduction. Tell us the product and we will recommend the principle, tank size and conveyor speed.
All continuous models recirculate water through a filter tank, so the same water is reused across the shift and only the carry-over is topped up. The vortex and high-pressure units add multi-stage filtration and automatic water replenishment; exact consumption depends on product soil load and throughput.
Yes. Roller units can switch between hard brushes for peeling potatoes and carrots and soft brushes for fruit, fish and shrimp. Bubble and vortex lines handle mixed loads of whole, cut and shredded produce.
Food contact parts are built in 304 stainless steel, with the ozone and high-pressure units using 3 mm and 2 mm plate respectively. Engineering plastics are used for guides and rollers that must flex or wear without marking the product.
Tanks, screens, filters and the vibration or mesh conveyor are quick-release and can be lifted out for cleaning. A drain valve empties the tank, and the control panel keeps the washing and disinfection cycles separate so sanitation is repeatable.
Every washer is built with an infeed and outfeed height that matches your existing line, and can be combined with peeling, sorting, cutting, dewatering, drying and packing modules.
Machines carry a 12-month warranty from delivery with replacement of major parts, a full spare parts kit and lifetime online technical support. Operation, cleaning and maintenance videos ship with every unit.
Machine length, width, brush roller count and roller type can be specified for your throughput and cleaning requirement, and custom tank and conveyor widths are available on the high-pressure and bubble ranges.
Other Packaging Lines
Pair washing with the rest of the food division: liquid and powder filling machines and sealing machines are specified on the same line heights and controls.
Fresh Produce to Packed Pack
After washing, product can move to cutting, dewatering, drying, weighing and vacuum packaging. See the vacuum packaging machines for the packing end of the line.
