Washing cut bell peppers efficiently with the HEWA 3800V washing machine

Washing cut bell peppers requires a washing process that is both effective and gentle. The HEWA 3800 HELICAL washing machine with vibration outfeed is designed to meet these requirements and enables the efficient processing of pepper strips.

In this application example, pepper cut into 4-mm-wide strips is conveyed from a cutting machine into the HEWA 3800V. The pepper strips are washed in the industrial washing machine before being discharged for further processing. 
The video shows how the HEWA 3800V can be integrated into efficient processing activities for washing cut bell peppers.

Effective and gentle washing with the HELICAL washing system

The HELICAL washing system of the HEWA 3800V enables both effective and gentle washing of the pepper strips. The machine is also designed to reduce water consumption while still delivering an optimal washing result. Foreign matter such as sand, stones, or insects can be separated from the product during the washing process.

By utilizing the entire water volume in the washing tank, the required washing capacity can be achieved with a compact machine design. In addition, the HELICAL washing system enables a washing path up to ten times longer than that of a flotation washing machine. This allows the HEWA washing machines to combine effective washing with a small footprint.

The HEWA 3800V is suitable for pre-washing, washing, disinfecting, mixing, treating, and rinsing a variety of products with a capacity of max. 2,500 kg/h. As a result, the washing machine can be used flexibly for various applications when processing salad leaves, vegetables, herbs, and fruit.

A hygienic washing machine for efficient processes

Another key feature of the HEWA 3800V is its focus on maximum hygiene and fast, thorough cleaning. The machine can be easily dismantled, providing good accessibility. The open design with angles greater than 90° supports the hygienic design and further facilitates cleaning.

Together with its gentle washing process, this makes the HEWA 3800V ideal for companies that want to process different products both hygienically and efficiently. The application example with 4-mm-wide pepper strips demonstrates the machine’s capabilities when processing cut vegetables.
