Fully automatic cleaning and processing equipment for pre made vegetables, fruits and vegetables, cleaning and drying equipment

1、 Fully automatic vegetable cleaning processing: definition and core process

Fully automatic vegetable cleaning and processingIt is a system that uses highly integrated automated equipment to process fresh vegetables throughout the entire process, including cleaning, cutting, peeling, sorting, packaging, and other steps. Its core lies in achieving efficient conversion from raw materials to finished products through technologies such as sensors, image recognition, and automated control systems.

Typical process

1. Raw material processing

• Vegetables are cooled to 5 ℃ in a pre cold storage, and then enter the cleaning stage after removing field heat.

• Raw materials must be accompanied by pesticide residue testing reports to ensure compliance with food safety standards.

2. cleaning phase

• bubble washing machineSeparate pollutants through water flow rotation and bubble explosion, and discharge sediment through the bottom filter plate of the cylinder.

• High pressure sprinkler systemThe flow rate exceeds 1000 liters per minute, effectively removing over 99% of pesticide residues and microorganisms.

• Technical PrincipleUsing high-pressure water flow, bubble cleaning, or ultrasonic cleaning. For example:

• standard parametersThe cleaning time for leafy vegetables is ≤ 3 minutes (such as spinach), for root and stem vegetables is ≤ 8 minutes (such as potatoes), and the water temperature is controlled at 10-12 ℃.

3. Cutting and Sorting

• Computer controlled cutting toolsAccurate cutting with an error controlled within millimeters (such as potato shreds 0.3 × 0.3cm).

• Image recognition technologyAutomatically sort non-conforming products to ensure consistent quality.

4. Packaging and Storage

• Vacuum packaging or modified atmosphere packagingExtend the shelf life to more than 7 days.

• Cold chain storageThe temperature in the packaging workshop is ≤ 10 ℃, and the transportation vehicles are pre cooled to 5 ℃ with a temperature fluctuation of ≤± 2 ℃.

technical advantage

• Efficiency improvementThe processing speed reaches 1000 kilograms per hour, which is 5 times more efficient than manual labor.

• quality controlThrough HACCP system certification, the total bacterial count is ≤ 5 × 10 ⁵ CFU/g, and the coliform group is ≤ 100MPN/100g.

• standardizationThe cutting size, moisture residue (≤ 5%) and other parameters are strictly controllable, and the difference in product quality between different shifts is reduced to less than 5%.

core functionality

1. wash

• High pressure sprayRemove surface dirt by high-speed water flow impact.

• Bubble explosionSeparate pollutants using the explosive force of bubbles in water.

• Brush frictionSuitable for root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots.

• Technical Principle：

• sterilizationIntegrated ozone or ultraviolet disinfection reduces microorganisms by 99.9%.

2. air-dry

• Dry at room temperatureBy using conveyor belts and vibrating drainage sections, more than 99% of surface moisture is removed to avoid secondary pollution.

• air controlThe air volume reaches 300m ³/h to ensure uniform drying.

3. Automation control

• Speed control systemThe conveyor belt speed can be adjusted (5-15m/min) to meet different food requirements.

• Sensor monitoringReal time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and residual moisture.

Application Cases

1. central kitchen

• Hebei NongsuyuanBy combining cleaning and drying equipment with cold chain logistics, the annual sales revenue increased from 8 million yuan to 50 million yuan, achieving full process quality control from farm to table.

• Device ConfigurationBubble cleaner+vibrating drain machine+air dryer, equipped with metal detector and vacuum packaging machine.

2. family scenario

• A German brand of intelligent vegetable cleaning machineAutomatically identify vegetable types (such as tomatoes and lettuce) through sensors, complete cleaning and cutting within 3 minutes, and support one click operation.

3、 Industry standards and quality control

Raw materials and hygiene standards

• 原料要求Vegetables need to be accompanied by pesticide residue testing reports, and the cleaning water temperature should be controlled at 10-12 ℃.

• workshop environmentAnti slip ceramic tiles on the ground, white ceramic tiles on the walls to the top, and 304 stainless steel for food utensils.

• Personnel ManagementWorkers need to go through the air shower room, wear disposable headgear, wash their hands with an induction faucet, soak in disinfectant for 30 seconds, and then dry.

Traceability and testing

• quality control point：

• Raw material inspection and pesticide residue report.

• Measure the cleanliness of the cutting tool after slitting (ATP detection, RLU value ≤ 30).

• Perform microbiological rapid testing (total bacterial count, coliform group) before packaging.

• traceability systemThe raw material batch number is associated with the processing date, and the packaging spray code includes the base number, production line code, and operator number.

Environmental Protection and Energy Consumption

• water circulation systemKeep the cleaning water flowing and reduce water usage.

• energy consumption managementThe total power is 18 kilowatts (leafy vegetable line), the water pump power is 4 kilowatts, and the speed regulating motor power is 1.1 kilowatts.

4、 Market trends and technological integration

market demand

• Global growthThe compound annual growth rate of the food processing machinery market is 4.5%, and the size of China's clean vegetable market will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2023.

• consumer demandConvenience, health, and low pesticide residue have become core demands, and household users are driving the growth of demand for intelligent cleaning machines (such as JD platform's sales increasing by 370% year-on-year in 2022).

technological innovation

• AI and the Internet of Things：

• AI algorithms automatically adjust cleaning parameters (such as adjusting water flow pressure based on vegetable types).

• The Internet of Things enables remote monitoring, real-time tracking of device status and product quality.

• 5G and Big DataOptimize supply chain management and achieve full process digitization from farm to table.
