What to specify before quotation.
| Selection factor | What to provide or confirm |
|---|---|
| Fruit condition | Record cultivar, maturity, firmness, field debris and reject limits. |
| Hydraulic duty | Define water quality, recirculation, make-up and drain responsibilities. |
| Discharge interface | Confirm elevation, next conveyor, access and guarding. |
| Capacity basis | State incoming whole-fruit mass at the receiving boundary. |
CLEANING & INSPECTION
Access follows the installed geometry.
The bath, belt, cleats, guards and drain path need visible access. This open equipment is cleaned by its agreed washdown and manual procedure, not by assuming downstream CIP covers it.
LINE INTERFACES
Connect the duty, not only the nozzle.
Coordinate receiving, drain routing, inspection conveyor elevation and safe platform access.
CONFIGURATION & SUPPLY SCOPE
Confirm the details that matter.
Final belt width, discharge height, water duty and capacity are selected for your fruit and layout. Washing is a preparation step and is not specified as sterilization.
