The Kronen high-perfomance line suitable for accurate and gentle proceesing with vegetables and fruits.  

The line complete with next equipment:

1. Washing machine GEWA 3800

Kronen GEWA 3800 has been specially designed for washing and sorting sliced vegetables and fruits.

Due to the automatic special separation method different kinds of products (diced or sliced) can be processed.

By means of a sophisticated water streaming system the waste and good product are separated thus saving extensive costs. The machine can easily be adjusted, e.g. for various kinds of products. Further more, it can be used as a standard washing machine by easily lifting up the link conveyor.

Capacity: of >800 kg (good product) can be achieved.

The standard design of the paprika washing machine includes WMS and sand trap funnels.

GEWA 3800V as washing machine has been specially constructed for washing and sorting sliced vegetables. Due to the automatic special separation method different kinds of product (diced or sliced) can be processed.

- light parts (core and "white parts") drift on the surface of the water and will be discharged via a link conveyor

- heavy parts (kernels) fall to the bottom and will be discharged via the sand trap funnels

- good product will be discharged via vibration outfeed for further processing

The sand trap funnel is a worthwile equipment to the GEWA PLUS washing machine for product seeds and sandy produces like lamb's lettuce and also sprouts (separation of non-germinated seeds). Extremely sandy and dirty products will be washed gently and efficiently. The sand trap funnel is able to absorb 98 l of the sand / water mixture.

The KRONEN WMS (water management system) allows centrally controlled filling and emptying of the washing machines. During operation there is a fill level sensor to adjust automatically the water level in the tank. If the water level is too low, pneumatic valves will open automatically to add fresh water to the GEWA.

Heavy dirt particles (like small stones) and sand are removed from the product flow and settled separately in the sand trap, at the bottom of the wash tank. 

All pipes, pump cases, wash and pump tanks as well as covers and control panels are manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel.

2. Spin-dryer K50-7S

The integrated lid lock avoids the accidental opening of the lid during centrifuging. This avoids unnecessary braking of the motor, prevents damage to motor, brakes and bearing and thus increases the durability of the spin-dryer.

KRONEN spin-dryer K50 - 7S designed for vegetables and salads, field-tested and in action hundredfold world-wide. Convenient handling due to lower infeed height as well as 7 settings of individual spinning speeds and freely adjustable spinning time assure optimal adjustment to the produce. 

The open, hygienic construction, completley made of stainless steel, guarantees a fast and thorough cleaning. The powerful but low-noised motor assures marginal wear and high durability. 

The dripping-off times of canned products such as e.g. crabs, tunas, pineapples, mushrooms as well as frozen bell pepper or onion pieces are reduced considerably.

Compared to the ECO-version, the lift-height of the basket of the K 50 S spin-dryers lower by around 30 cm, reducing the lifting and loading through the operator.
