Reel Washer WASHERS Thorough washing is essential after any of the foregoing peeling methods, and the types of washer normally used in dehydration factories are as follows: (1)Slatted reel washer, rotating on trunnions, with a centre sparge pipe fitted with water spray nozzles (2)Rod or wire mesh rotary washer similar in action to the reel washer (3)Rotary brush washer Here again, the choice will depend on the degree of sophistication the processor requires at this point in the process. Reel or rod washers are both effective, provided efficient spray nozzles are fitted and the dwell time is sufficient for the weight per hour being fed through the machine Incorrectly designed sparge pipes, with holes drilled at random along their length, to provide the necessary water spray, can give rise to a tremendous wastage of water,and this is a point which must receive very special attention. Some washers have been known to consume 20 times the volume of water that was actually required or necessary, had the proper study been applied to the washing methodReel Washer WASHERS Thorough washing is essential after any of the foregoing peeling methods, and the types of washer normally used in dehydration factories are as follows: (1) Slatted reel washer, rotating on trunnions, with a centre sparge (2) Rod or wire mesh rotary washer similar in action to the reel (3) Rotary brush washer. pipe fitted with water spray nozzles; washer; Here again, the choice will depend on the degree of sophistication the processor requires at this point in the process.
