Key Technology introduces redesigned Flume Wash for fresh-cut produce

Key Technology has introduced the redesigned Flume Wash for fresh-cut produce which is ideal for small to medium&large processors looking for an automated wash system. The Flume Wash gently removes heavy debris, silt, grubs, and floating contaminates. Featuring a new self-cleaning parabolic filter, heavy-duty pump motor, Iso-Flo® dewatering shaker, and Allen-Bradley controls, the new Flume Wash enhances performance, eases sanitation, and minimises maintenance.

It is suitable for a variety of fresh-cut produce including shredded, chopped, and whole-leaf lettuce, cabbage, baby spinach and spring mix as well as whole, sliced, and diced vegetables and fruits. The open Flume provides dosification access for sanitation agents. An Iso-Flo vibratory dewatering shaker and parabolic screen that actively micro-filters to 254 microns after each flume ensures maximum reuse of clean wash water via the closed-loop water recirculation system. To effectively wash product and ease sanitation, the stainless steel Flume Wash features an easily accessible settling sump that allows rocks and heavy silt to separate from product.  A water unloading valve in the 'deep zone' flushes sediments and bugs.
