What is a KW Washer?

A potato washer and destoner is an industrial machine used in food processing to clean potatoes and remove stones, soil, and debris. It combines water and mechanical action to ensure the potatoes are thoroughly washed while separating unwanted materials. The machine is designed to handle large quantities efficiently, making it an essential step in preparing potatoes for further processing.

One of the key advantages of using a potato washer and destoner is its ability to improve food safety and quality by removing contaminants early in production. It also helps reduce manual labor and water usage, contributing to a more efficient and hygienic processing operation.

A 3-in-1 Cleaning System for Maximum Efficiency

The KW Washer Destoner Combo is a high-capacity, all-in-one machine that integrates destoning, washing, and floating debris removal into a single streamlined process. Built for 24/7 operation, this machine is engineered for efficiency, durability, and optimal water usage.

STEP 1: DESTONING – REMOVING HEAVY CONTAMINANTS

Before the washing process begins, the KW Washer uses upward water pressure to separate heavy contaminants like stones and clods from the potatoes. While the product floats to the top, unwanted materials sink to the bottom and are removed by a conveyor belt, ensuring a thorough and reliable cleaning process.

STEP 2: WASHING – DEEP CLEANING WITH ADJUSTABLE INTENSITY

Once the potatoes are free of stones, they enter the drum washing system, where strategically placed blades and water jets gently scrub away dirt and debris. The drum’s robust, dimpled design keeps the product moving continuously, allowing the potatoes to rub against one another and the drum walls for a more effective clean. Depending on processing needs, the washing intensity can be adjusted, ensuring flexibility for different product types.

STEP 3: FLOATING DEBRIS REMOVAL – A CLEANER FINAL PRODUCT

After washing, any remaining floating debris, such as vegetation and organic matter, is efficiently removed. The machine offers various solutions for separating floating matter, including an additional water bath and an optional pintle belt for final debris extraction. For enhanced cleanliness, a clean water spray system can be added to the discharge conveyor belt.
