SYSTEM ENVELOPE 200–3,000 kg/h by crop

THIS CONFIGURATION 6 Stations

PRODUCT FORM

01

Intake and pre-sorting — not in this configuration Undersize, damaged and foreign material leave before they can reach a machine.
02

Pre-wash — not in this configuration Field soil comes off first, so the stations downstream are not washing dirt twice.
03

De-stoning — not in this configuration Stone and grit are taken out ahead of peeling, which protects both the equipment and the product.
04

Peeling — not in this configuration Brush roller, abrasive or steam, chosen by crop skin and abrasion.
05

Sorting and inspection — not in this configuration Grading and a manual check sit mid-line rather than at the end.
06

Cutting — not in this configuration Sticks, slices or dice, set by the product form you sell.
07

Post-wash with colour protection — not in this configuration Cut surfaces are rinsed and treated so they do not brown on the way to packing.
08

Dewatering — not in this configuration Surface water off before packing, because water in the pack is shelf life lost.
09

Packing — not in this configuration Weighing and packing to your pack format.

SYSTEM ENVELOPE Tiers of 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kg/h

THIS CONFIGURATION 8 Stations

PRODUCT FORM

01

Pre-wash and soak — not in this configuration Field heat and loose soil come off, and the leaf rehydrates before it is cut.
02

Cutting — not in this configuration Blade condition decides how much bruised edge you carry into the wash.
03

Turbulence wash — not in this configuration Second wash stage, moving water rather than a soak.
04

Sanitiser-contact wash — not in this configuration Third stage, where contact time and water chemistry are controlled.
05

Vibrating dewatering — not in this configuration Bulk water off the leaf without crushing it.
06

Air-drying tunnel — not in this configuration Surface drying to pack condition, with a centrifugal dryer as an option.
07

Inspection conveyor — not in this configuration A manual check immediately before the pack, not further upstream.
08

Weighing and packing — not in this configuration Portioned to your pack weight.

SYSTEM ENVELOPE Set at configuration against drying-room capacity

THIS CONFIGURATION 7 Stations

PRODUCT FORM

01

Washing — not in this configuration Bubble or spray wash sized to the crop.
02

Cutting and slicing — not in this configuration Piece size decides drying time more than dryer temperature does.
03

Blanching — not in this configuration Enzyme activity stopped before drying, which is what protects colour.
04

Cooling — not in this configuration Down from blanching temperature before the product enters the dryer.
05

Drying room — not in this configuration Hot-air drying to your target moisture.
06

Packing — not in this configuration Packed against moisture pickup.
07

Metal detection — not in this configuration Final check before the product leaves the line.

SYSTEM ENVELOPE Set at configuration against dryer batch size

THIS CONFIGURATION 6 Stations

PRODUCT FORM

01

Wash and inspect — not in this configuration Raw material check, because freeze-drying preserves defects as faithfully as it preserves quality.
02

Peel, split and trim — not in this configuration Prepared to a uniform piece before forming.
03

Slice, dice or form — not in this configuration Piece geometry sets the cycle time for the whole batch.
04

Primary and secondary freeze-drying — not in this configuration Sublimation, then bound-moisture removal in the same cycle.
05

Unloading and packaging — not in this configuration Packed straight out of the chamber, since the product takes up moisture quickly.
06

Metal detection — not in this configuration Closes the sequence after packaging rather than before it.
