How Does Potato Washing Peeling Machine Work?

The brush washing machine consists of a stainless steel frame, brush rollers, a water spray system, and a collection tank for impurities. It works through a combination of brush friction and water spraying to ensure thorough cleaning and peeling. Here’s how it works:

  1. Power Transmission: The machine uses a double-chain transmission system driven by a motor, which rotates the brush rollers inside the washing tank.
  2. Rolling and Scrubbing: As the brush rollers rotate, the potatoes tumble continuously inside the tank. The friction from the brushes effectively scrubs off dirt, mud, and loose potato skins. If harder brushes are used, the machine can also peel the potatoes while cleaning.
  3. Water Spraying: A top-mounted spray system provides a continuous stream of clean water, which rinses away the loosened dirt and debris. 
  4. Waste Collection: At the bottom of the machine, there is a water collection tray that gathers the dirty water along with potato skins, mud, and other impurities.
  5. Discharge: Clean and peeled potatoes move toward the discharge end for further processing or packaging. This whole process is simple and esay to operate. Below are two videos for your reference. 

High-Pressure Spray Washing Machine

  • Ideal for cleaning small to medium-sized fruits and vegetables, regardless of their shape, like apples, gingers, leafy greens, wheatgrass, mangoes, grapes, and more.
  • How it works: Produce is placed on a conveyor belt and moves through a high-pressure spray zone, where water jets from above and below thoroughly clean it. And the cleaned produce exits via the conveyor.

Rotary Washing Machine

  • Designed for cleaning root vegetables and fruits that grow in soil with heavy mud or debris, like potatoes, carrots, yams, and ginger.
  • How it works: The drum is equipped with soft brushes and high-pressure spray pipes. As the drum turns, the produce rubs against the brushes and each other, removing dirt. Water sprays rinse away debris, and the cleaned produce slowly moves toward the discharge outlet.

1. End Product

If you want peeled potatoes, the brush washing machine with hard rollers is best. For fresh potatoes, consider high-pressure spray or soft-brush washing for a cleaner, undamaged product.

2. Level of Cleaning Required

For lightly soiled potatoes, high-pressure spray washers are sufficient. For heavily soiled potatoes, rotary drum washers are the best choice. In order to thoroughly clean potatoes, you can use an air bubble washing machine after brush washing. 

3. Processing Capacity
