In modern apricot and plum processing and juice beverage production, raw fruit cleaning is one of the most critical steps in the entire process. The delicate skin and soft flesh of apricots and plums are susceptible to mechanical damage, placing higher demands on cleaning equipment. Therefore, this apricot cleaning machine utilizes a combination of soft brushes and water sprays. This ensures effective cleaning while minimizing damage to the apricot and plum skin, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing.
Apricot & Plum Cleaning Method:
Soft Brush Cleaning:
The fruit plum washing machine is equipped with a soft brush roller. As the apricots and plums are constantly being transported, the brush gently contacts the surface of the fruit, effectively removing dirt, dust, and some pesticide residue from the skin. Compared to traditional hard brushes, soft brushes are more effective in preventing scratches on the fruit’s skin, minimizing flesh damage and loss of juice.
Water spray assist:
While the brushes are cleaning, the apricot cleaning machine’s top features an evenly distributed spray system, continuously rinsing the fruit surface with high-pressure water. This not only thoroughly removes loose dirt and debris, but also continuously replenishes fresh water during the cleaning process, preventing secondary contamination.
The Main Benefits Of This Combined Cleaning Method:
- More thorough cleaning: The brush provides physical friction, while the spray provides rinsing, significantly improving cleaning efficiency.
- Protecting the integrity of the fruit: The soft-bristled brush is gentle and does not damage the skin, making it particularly suitable for delicate fruits such as apricots and plums.
- Water-saving and environmentally friendly: The spray system utilizes a circulating water system and can be equipped with a filter as needed to reduce water waste.
- Improving product quality: The clean, shiny surface of the washed apricot and plum paves the way for entry into high-end markets and further processing.
Plum Fruit Washing Machine Features:
- Stainless Steel: The cleaning machine is constructed of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, anti-oxidation, and easy to clean.
- Flexible Cleaning Design: The soft bristles are specially designed with a high hardness and density to ensure optimal cleaning while effectively preventing damage to the fruit’s skin. The bristles are interchangeable depending on the fruit variety.
- Multi-stage spray system: The rationally arranged spray heads provide wide coverage, and the adjustable water pressure ensures that the fruit is thoroughly cleaned while rolling.
- Compatible with production lines: The apricot and plum washing machine can operate as a standalone unit or be combined with a grader, crusher, juicer, and other equipment to form a complete juice production line.
- Highly adaptable: In addition to apricots and plums, this plum washing machine is also suitable for a variety of fruits, including peaches, plums, pears, and apples, demonstrating its high versatility.
In the production of apricot or plum juice, the cleaning step is particularly important. If the cleaning is not thorough, it will not only affect the taste and color of the juice, but may also cause excessive microbial contamination and shorten the shelf life of the product.
