De Bruyne - 10 Roller De-Slitherier

• Separating small unwanted particles from cut food products, such as vegetables or fruit.
• Improving product quality and consistency by removing 'slithers' or small off-cuts.
• Pre-processing stage in snack food production lines to refine product appearance.
• Use in fresh produce packing houses to enhance the visual appeal of packaged goods.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly but is generally suited for continuous processing lines handling moderate to high volumes of product.

Roller configuration

Units of this type commonly feature multiple rollers, typically 2 to 10 or more, designed to gently separate smaller particles from the main product flow.

Roller length

Rollers are commonly 0.5m to 1.5m in length, influencing the processing width and capacity.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability in wet processing environments.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power requirements varying based on motor size and number of rollers.

Footprint

For a 10-roller unit, the frame dimensions are commonly around 1.5m to 2.5m high and 1m to 1.5m wide, requiring a relatively compact space within a processing line.

Maintenance

Units are generally designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance, with accessible rollers and frames to meet hygiene standards.

• What is a de-slitherier used for?

  A de-slitherier is used to remove small, unwanted particles or 'slithers' from food products, typically after a cutting or slicing process, to improve product quality and appearance.

Homogenizers and sonicators are valued for reliable sample preparation across laboratories and biotech facilities. Buyers typically appreciate their durability and consistent performance in particle size reduction and cell disruption tasks. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify calibration history, examine probe or chamber condition for wear, and confirm electrical safety compliance. These instruments generally maintain good resale value due to steady demand in research and quality control applications.
