Salad Cutting, Washing and Drying Process

Vegetable Cutting → Lifting and feeding (to the vegetable washing machine) → Washing and decontamination → Secondary cleaning → Lift and transport (to the dehydrator)→ Dewatering → Final outlet with conveyor → Packaging

1) Vegetable cutting machine:

It is used to cut vegetables into slices, chop and shred, with a large output. The cutting shapes and sizes can be regulated by changing or adjusting the blade.

For salad factories and fresh-cut vegetable suppliers, consistent cutting size is important for packaging appearance and product shelf display. The cutting system helps maintain uniform vegetable sizes while supporting continuous production.

2) Funnel elevator:

It is used to lift leaf vegetables and connect with the vegetable washing machines. Adjustable belt tension and easy to clean.

3) Vegetable washing machine:

The combination of three cleaning methods, such as air bubbles, circulating surfing and high-pressure spraying, the water in the tank using powerful pumps and nozzles along the sides of the tank. The leaves are submerged and mixed in the water, then whirl around to remove all the dirt on their surface.
Leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach are easily damaged during cleaning. The bubble washing system creates gentle water circulation to help remove dirt and impurities while reducing unnecessary damage to the vegetable surface.

4) Continuous dewatering machine:

It uses the principle of centrifugation to dehydrate and dry the material to remove the moisture on the surface. The dehydrator has an adjustable rotational speed and time, which can be controlled based on the products at hand to ensure that they do not spin too fast for too long and become damaged. After washing, excessive surface moisture can affect packaging and product freshness. The continuous centrifugal drying system helps remove water efficiently before the vegetables enter the packing stage.
