Tart cherries are a type of fruit with thin skin and tender flesh, rich in nutritional value, and are commonly used in juice, jam, and frozen processing. However, cherry skins are extremely delicate, and improper handling during washing can easily cause mechanical damage, affecting both appearance and quality. To address this issue, our company has developed and produced a tart cherries washing machine that ensures effective cleaning while minimizing damage to the fruit, making it an ideal choice for cherry processing companies.

In tart cherry processing, whether producing cherry juice, frozen cherries, or cherry jam, washing is the first and indispensable step. Washing not only removes dirt and impurities from the surface of the cherries but also reduces microbial contamination, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes. If washing is not thorough, it will directly affect the taste, color, and hygiene safety of the product, and may even shorten its shelf life.

Sour Cherries Washing Machine Working Principle:

The cherry cleaning machine uses the bubble washing principle. A bubble generator is installed at the bottom of the washing tank, which generates dense bubbles through the introduction of air. As the bubbles rise and burst, they produce a gentle impact force that causes the cherries to roll continuously, achieving 360° dead-angle-free washing. This method simulates the effect of manual scrubbing, but with more uniform and gentler force, preventing squeezing and scratching of the fruit skin.

While bubble cleaning is in progress, the tart cherries washing machine’s internal circulation water flow and spray system also assist in cleaning, thoroughly rinsing away any debris on the surface of the fruit. Some models can also be equipped with a circulation filtration system, which effectively removes impurities from the water, enabling water resource recycling and reducing water costs.

Tart Cherries Washing Machine Features:

Minimal damage during cleaning: The gentle impact of bubble cleaning reduces fruit damage rates, preserving the integrity and freshness of cherries.
Effective cleaning: The combination of bubble agitation and water spray effectively removes dirt and impurities from the surface of cherries, ensuring thorough cleaning.
High-quality materials: The sour cherries washing machine is made of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, and meets food processing hygiene standards, ensuring a long service life.
Wide applicability: In addition to cherries, this cherry cleaning machine is also suitable for small berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Customizable: Based on customer production capacity requirements, equipment with different production specifications (such as 500kg/h, 1000kg/h, 2000kg/h, etc.) can be designed, and optional accessories such as spray devices, conveyor belts, and drying devices can be added to achieve automated cherry processing lines.

Tart cherries washing machines serve as core equipment in the pre-processing stage and play a crucial role in the production of various cherry products:

Cherry juice production: After washing, the cherry skins are free of sand and impurities, facilitating crushing and juicing, thereby ensuring the taste and purity of the juice.
Frozen cherries: After thorough washing, cherries are sorted and flash-frozen to maintain their vibrant color and minimize the impact of microorganisms on frozen storage quality.
Cherry jam: Washed cherries are less likely to produce off-flavors or impurities during pureeing and cooking, enhancing the smoothness and safety of the final jam product.
