Regardless of the nature of the product processes, cleaning and sorting are essential steps in the production process, its yield, hygiene and food safety for consumers. This more or less complex step is necessary for the removal of foreign bodies and requires a high capacity to adapt which requires having machine in cascade that are suitable for removing a maximum amount of waste as early as possible in the preparation line.
We have developed various dry cleaning and sorting solutions so as to handle your specific problems. Thus, according to the nature of your products, their condition as they leave the field and the foreign bodies linked to the farming areas (sand, soil, rocks, wood, small animals, various foreign bodies, etc.), we adjust the cleaning process by choosing the right equipment in order to remove foreign bodies, poor-quality products and any pollutants.
Drums, fans, separation vibrators… our dry cleaning solutions are designed for optimum yield and constant product quality. Aware of the importance and the stakes of this step, we innovate and continue to develop state-of-the-art cleaning systems. That is how for example we designed a Datura trap. Installed upstream well ahead of the process, it allows for the removal of this toxic plant that has a significant health risk.

-Capacity: 1 t/h to 3t/h according to the unit weight of the products processed and the model.
-Machine comprised primarily of a drum with louvered slots, a rotating blade system and a conveyor inside the drum to collect the unsnipped green beans.
-At the outlet removal of the unsnipped green beans on the dedicated belt and snipped green beans on another belt.
-A continuous cleaning of the machine.
TLMx/Px
-Separates large waste from granular products, such as peas, flageolet beans and sweet corn and provides continuous and even distribution of the processed products to a downstream machine.
-Capacity: 3 t/h to 20t/h according to the unit weight of the products processed and the model.
-Vibrator comprised primarily of a vibrating pan with removable and perforated screens according to the dimensional characteristics of the products processed.
-An additional option for draining/water recovery using perforations on the bottom of the pan and a hopper under the pan.
S2x/VE05
-Removes small waste (sand, soil, small plant waste) from various different products (green beans, spinach, leafy vegetables).
-Capacity: 3 t/h to 8t/h according to the unit weight of the products processed and the model.
-Machine comprised primarily of a drum that can be adapted according to your products.
D20 / D21
-Installed at the line infeed of granular products such as peas/flageolet beans, it extracts small size waste and sticky waste as well as large waste. -Capacity: 8 t/h to 20t/h according to the unit weight of the products processed and the model.
-Machine primarily comprised of a drum of which the perforations of the final section are adapted to the product processed.
-Continuous cleaning of the machine thanks to its system of brushes and scrapers.
