The vegetable polisher improves the appearance of fresh vegetables, by removing dirt, debris, and blemishes from the vegetable’s surface, resulting in more premium packed produce.
This polisher RM type has a half-round drum made up of a row of nylon brushes. The produce enters the polisher via a transport conveyor or flume and is dropped onto a roller bed, which has a rocking motion. While the produce moves towards the outfeed, brushes polish the produce. Two water pipes spray fresh and/or recycled water on the produce as it travels through the drum. Produce is washed/polished as it rubs against other produce as well as the rotating brushes.
The polisher RM type is made of mild steel. In the mild steel, the frame of the polisher is made of painted mild steel, and the bearings and drive/idle rollers are made of mild steel. In the polisher RM type, the produce flow is controlled by a manual drum valve. However, the drum valve can be operated automatically on demand. Various brush hardnesses and colors are available to choose from depending on different crops to provide effective results in polishing.
If required, the polisher can be subframe to accommodate height difference. The subframe can be made from painted mild steel, stainless steel AISI304, and galvanized steel. The height of the subframe can vary from 0-5 meters.
