Bubble Washing Machine Vegetable and Fruit

1. Introdução

O bubble washing machine vegetable and fruit is an advanced piece of equipment designed for cleaning fresh produce using a combination of water immersion e air bubble agitation. This cleaning method is gentle, eficiente, and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for both delicate and firm produce.

As global consumers increasingly demand pronto para comer, pre-washed, and organic-certified produce, processors are upgrading from traditional manual washing to fully automated bubble washing systems.

1.1 Why Bubble Washing Matters in Modern Food Processing

1. Conformidade com a segurança alimentar
   Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EU Commission, and CFIA require food producers to minimize microbial contamination, pesticide residues, and physical debris.
2. Product Quality Preservation
   Bubble washing prevents bruising, discoloration, and nutrient loss, especially important for export markets.
3. Operational Efficiency
   Handles high volumes — from 500 kg/h for small plants para 10,000+ kg/h for large industrial facilities.

2. How a Bubble Washing Machine Works

UM bubble washing machine vegetable and fruit uses air bubbles generated by a blower to gently agitate produce in water, loosening dirt and contaminants.

2.1 The Process Flow

1. Loading
   Produce enters via a conveyor or manual hopper.
2. Water Tank Immersion
   Fruits and vegetables are fully submerged.
3. Bubble Injection
   Compressed air enters through perforated pipes, creating turbulence.
4. Dirt Separation
   Heavy particles settle, light debris floats away.
5. Final Rinse
   Clean water sprays remove any residual contaminants.
6. Discharge
   A conveyor transfers produce to the next processing stage.

2.2 Key Science Behind Bubble Cleaning

• Hydrodynamic Effect: Bubbles create micro-currents that penetrate leaf folds.
• Surface Tension Reduction: Air bubbles reduce adhesion between dirt and produce skin.
• Oxygen Enrichment: Helps maintain freshness during cleaning.

3. Machine Design & Componentes

O bubble washing machine vegetable and fruit is engineered for durabilidade, higiene, and easy cleaning.

Material: SUS304 stainless steel (standard), SUS316 for highly acidic produce.
