Eillert Flume Washer

• Washing delicate leafy greens and salads in large volumes.
• Cleaning root vegetables and fruits prior to further processing.
• Removing soil, debris, and foreign matter from various produce types.
• Integrating into automated processing lines for continuous washing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on product density and desired throughput.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on pump size and motor efficiency.

Construction material

Most industrial flume washers are constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Water consumption

Water usage can vary significantly; many modern units incorporate recirculation and filtration systems to minimise consumption.

Footprint

The physical dimensions can vary, but these are generally elongated machines requiring a significant linear space within a processing facility.

Suitable feed sizes

Flume washers are versatile, accommodating a wide range of product sizes from small leafy items to larger whole vegetables.

• How does a flume washer work?

  A flume washer uses a continuous flow of water to gently agitate and transport products, effectively separating dirt and debris which settles or is filtered out.

• Is this suitable for delicate products like leaf salad?

• What maintenance is typically required for a flume washer?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing processing line?

• Are spare parts readily available for Eillert equipment?

Washers and peelers are considered reliable workhorses in food processing facilities. Buyers typically value models offering consistent performance and easy cleaning. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors commonly assess drum condition, motor functionality, and wear on rotating components. Industry sentiment favours machines with stainless steel construction for durability and hygiene compliance. Straightforward mechanical design generally means lower maintenance costs compared to more complex processing equipment. Availability of replacement parts remains an important consideration for long-term operation.
