Description
Maranatha Wet Hopper is a cost effective, multi-purpose, pre-washing system, designed to remove excess mud, dirt and sand from produce without causing damage.
Maranatha Wet Hopper provides a gentle, pre-washing system to receive produce into washing and packing lines. Our system is comprised of hopper storage, a floor conveyor and discharge elevator, and can also include optional add-ons and/or customized modules for a tailored solution.
Wet Hoppers can receive produce in dirty, clean or semi-clean condition. Using air agitation, fine sand and dirt is removed from the produce. Additional spray bars can be fitted to provide a final rinse.
Suitable for potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, swedes and beetroot (beet).
A Wet Hopper is essential on produce washing lines, given its multi-purpose functionality, versatility and cost-effectiveness. In one stand-alone product, you get:
- A gentle system for receiving produce
- Pre-soak and clay softening, with agitation for pre-cleaning
- Buffer storage
- An even flow rate of produce to a process line
Use with a Tank Destoner to remove clods and stones, or with a Floating Debris Remover for floating waste, leaf and vine removal. Alternatively, use in combination with a Barrel Washer and Water Recycling System for a full wash-line solution.
2-bay, 3-bay, 4-bay, 5-bay, 6-bay, and extra-wide standard models available.
From 1-15 ton capacity
