KRONEN TIP: Short spin cycles for optimized spinning of vegetables

Short spin cycles for optimized spinning of vegetables with the KS 7 PLUS / K 50-7 ECO / K 50 ECO-900 / K 50 ECO-600

Target: To thoroughly and gently remove water from washed products like e.g. salad, carrot sticks or chopped cabbage
Machines Salad and vegetable spin-dryers KS 7 PLUS / K 50-7 ECO / K 50 ECO-900 / K 50 ECO-600
Result: The gentle but thorough removal of the water results in increased shelf-life of the product
Capacity: Up to 575 kg salad, 750 kg fruit or 1200 kg vegetables can be spin-dried per hour. The capacity depends on the respective product and the chosen spinning duration.
Process:
Basic conditions for the process are:

  • Filling of the plastic basket with the wet product, insertion of the basket in the machine
  • Selection of the spinning speed and duration depending on the product, e.g. for carrot sticks 700-800 rotations per minute for 20-30 seconds
  • Setting of half of the total spinning duration – first spin cycle
  • Opening of the machine, removal and short manual shaking of the basket, reinserting the basket in the machine
  • Opening of the machine, removal and short manual shaking of the basket, reinserting the basket in the machine

By shaking the basket in between the two spin cycles manually, the product is mixed and loosened so the water between the individual leaves or pieces of fruit and vegetables can be removed more easily during the spinning.

Automatic change of rotation direction with the KS-100 PLUS
With the KS-100 PLUS a manual interruption of the spin cycle and shaking of the basket is not necessary. The counter-rotating centrifuge cycle automatically changes the rotation direction after half of the spinning duration. Thus, the product is loosened further and spin.dried efficiently.
