Tong Engineering is set to showcase its latest vegetable barrel washer at this year’s Interpom potato, fruit and vegetable event in Belgium. The company will be displaying a high capacity stainless steel barrel washer which has been sold to a leading potato producer in France.
Featuring an integrated destoner, for the effective removal of stones and debris prior to washing, the latest model of Tong‘s market leading barrel washer is designed to incorporate the most advanced technology, offering effective washing results in the most demanding vegetable washing situations, as well as ensuring the gentlest handling of crop.
Built with Tong’s Blue Inverter Technology direct driven motors, the barrel washer runs very efficiently and with minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, maintenance and cleaning can be performed with ease with heavy duty barrel side-guards that offer easy-access cleaning facilities for simple maintenance.
“The design of our barrel washers has developed over recent years to ensure the most reliable performance, and low maintenance requirements. This allows customers to run the washer continuously for maximum throughput and minimal downtime,” explains Charlie Rich, export sales manager at Tong Engineering. “The latest models of our barrel washers really are world-class, with our most recent installations of high-capacity vegetable washlines now operating in Poland, France and Sweden, on a wide range of vegetables from potatoes and carrots to celeriac and parsley root,” adds Rich.
