The Gentle Wash™ potato slice washer cuts fresh water use and fryer cleaning costs. The unit cleans and recovers water using a hydrosieve and liquid cyclones. The system's low water volume assures fast water turnover. Efficient, three-stage washing provides maximum surface starch and fines removal. The unit uses no mechanical agitation, greatly reducing slice damage that can produce cracked and broken finished chips. Continuous fines removal ensures clean fryer operation and fewer crumbs transferred to the packaging line. Washed slices are transferred in a uniform layer through an AirSweep for maximum dewatering and fines removal before entering the fryer. Composed of individual, easy-to-install modules, the system can be configured to fit into existing lines with limited floor space.
