What is it used for

What is a
fruit washer with grinder used for?

The washer with a chopper is used for washing, transporting and grinding fruit and vegetables before further processing. The device most often operates as one of the first stages of the production line behind the bin tipper and before the belt press, sawing machine or other device for further processing of the raw material.


Fruit or vegetables go to the washing tank, where they are rinsed and cleaned of dirt. Then, the conveyor transports the raw material towards the shredder, and the washing nozzles additionally wash it while passing through the belt. After washing, the raw material is crushed into pulp, which can be sent directly to the belt press.

The raw material first goes to the bin tipper, which makes it easier to pass it safely to the line. Then fruit or vegetables are washed and crushed in a washer with a chopper. The prepared pulp goes to the belt press, where the juice remains separated from pomace. The juice can still remain directed to the buffer tank, pasteurizer and filling machine.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a fruit washer with grinder cost?

The price of a fruit washer with grinder depends on the equipment, configuration and degree of automation. Our washers usually range from approx. 6,800-28,000 EUR net. The higher range applies to large, automated devices intended for plants processing up to several dozen tons of fruit per day, also in a version with additional options, such as a sliding shredder. We prepare a detailed offer individually after analyzing production needs.

What is the efficiency of a fruit washer with grinder?

Our shredder washers have a capacity of approximately 1,500 to 4,000 kg/h. These are the results obtained by our customers in real production conditions, so they may vary depending on the type of raw material, fruit variety, ripeness and method of administration. Different efficiency can be achieved when pouring manually and when working with a bin tipper, which ensures a more uniform power supply to the device.

What raw materials is a fruit washer with grinder suitable for?

A washer with grinder is most often used for apples, but it can also work with other fruits and vegetables, including pears, selected soft fruits and root vegetables. Depending on the raw material, the device can operate with a grinder or as a transport washer alone, for example before the de-stoning machine or the next processing stage.

Do you provide service for fruit washers with grinder?

Yes, we provide service for washers with a shredder, access to spare parts and technical support after purchase. If you have questions about the operation of the device, many matters can be resolved by phone. If an on-site visit is necessary, we send a service team to fix the problem as quickly as possible and allow production to resume. We also offer support in starting the machine, setting it up for a specific raw material and training the crew.

What is the warranty period for a fruit washer with grinder?

We provide a 36-month warranty on the welded structure of the washer. For purchased components, such as engines, pumps or automation elements, the warranty period is usually from 12 to 24 months, depending on the manufacturer of the component. After the warranty ends, we provide post-warranty service, assistance in the event of failure and access to spare parts.

What is the lead time?

The delivery time for a fruit washer with grinder is usually from 2 to 8 weeks. Simpler configurations can usually be completed faster, while more complex versions with additional options may require longer production time. The exact date depends on the selected model, scope of equipment and current production capacity.

Can I see how the washer works before ordering?

Yes, before purchasing you can see how the washer with grinder and the entire juice production line work. We cooperate with pressing plants that use our machines, so we can organize a meeting during actual production. Such presentations are possible both in Poland and in other European countries, depending on the availability of a given plant and production date.

How long does it take for a fruit washer with grinder to pay for itself?

The payback time of the investment depends on the process for which the washer and shredder is to be used, the scale of production, the type of raw material and the method of its further processing. The smallest models can process about 1,500 kg of raw material per hour, which in one 8-hour shift gives up to about 12,000 kg of fruit or vegetables per day. In practice, it is worth calculating the return on investment based on planned production, manual labor costs, raw material price and the value of the finished product. A washer with grinder can significantly improve the preparation of fruit and vegetables for further processing, especially in lines producing juices, purees, mousses or other food products.
