Automated processing line for salad & leafy vegetables with high capacity & new washing technology

The innovative processing line processes up to 1,000 kg of baby leaf lettuce or the equivalent amount of mixed lettuce or leafy vegetables per hour. It boasts state-of-the-art technology and sets new standards, above all with regard to hygiene. The system is designed for large-scale industrial processing.

The highlights of this processing line include
• the GEWA AF pre-washing machine, a new development by KRONEN;
• the further developed GEWA XL helical washing machine; and
• the K850 drying system, a further development of KRONEN’s K650 model.

The processing line also features integrated machines from KRONEN partners:
The recipe weighing belts from Synergy Systems enable dynamic weighing of the recipe components added along the processing line. They communicate with the weighing belt before the pre-washing machine, thus guaranteeing a controlled and uniform product flow for optimum end-product quality. The system additionally enables better planning of raw material use in relation to the desired output of the line.
When it comes to optimally removing foreign materials, the line also contains a knocking section by HiTec for mechanical selection and an optical sorter from the company Optimum.

The production line ensures extremely hygienic, innovative, and SMART processing.
