Washing Machine
The first machine a vegetable meets on the line. Continuous washing removes soil, sand and surface contamination from fruit and vegetables before blanching and freezing, so everything downstream starts clean.

How it is built
Clean in, clean through
Washing at the head of the line means blanching water, grading surfaces and the freezer all handle clean product — less contamination carried into every later stage.
Continuous by design
Produce moves through the washer in a steady flow matched to the line behind it, feeding grading and blanching without batch bottlenecks.
Food-contact construction
Built with food-contact surfaces suited to wet processing and routine washdown in a produce hall.
