HEWA 3800
washing machine with vibration or belt outfeed

The insect and fine particle system is available in two versions: firstly as a removable, static basket insert for cut, less sensitive products and secondly as a rotary insect removal unit with a drum for more sensitive products and whole leaves. The insect drum can be easily swiveled out of the wash tank, for example for cleaning. It also has an open design for easy access. At the same time, operational safety is guaranteed. (Fig. HEWA 3800)

The lateral fine particle removal drum with a slotted strainer opening of 0.5 mm filters particles out of the circulating wash water. It enables continuous operation without blocking the filter above the pump tank and protects the pumps. This is particularly important for products that foam and contain many small particles. (Fig. HEWA 3800)

Within the scope of optimal hygienic design, the HEWA can now be optionally fitted with a pressure switch. The device is mounted outside the filter tank so that the tank can be cleaned easily. With the help of the pressure switch, the level of the wash water in the filter tank can be precisely determined, and additional water levels can be set. This simplifies the retrofitting of a water management system (WMS). The pressure switch is already provided as standard when you purchase a WMS. (Fig. HEWA 3800)

The KRONEN air system enables the combination of the benefits of the HELICAL washing system with those of the flotation system. By means of a blower, air is conveyed through a pipe system with a large number of perforations. This pipe system generates air bubbles in the wash tank. Especially in the case of sensitive products such as whole lettuce leaves or difficult products such as curly-leaf parsley or lollo rosso lettuce leaves, the combination of reduced water rotation and the air bubbles provides an optimal result.

A sand trap funnel for GEWA PLUS or HEWA washing machines is recommended when washing heavily soiled products (e.g. lamb's lettuce). It can accommodate 49 liters of the sand-water mixture and can be emptied manually by means of a ball valve or regulated by an automatic flow control. In the second case, the parameters (e.g. opening cycle and duration) can be set so that automatic regular emptying takes place, in combination with the water management system. (Fig. GEWA 4000)

The retention time is realized by a retaining flap, which automatically controls how long the products remain in the wash tank. This enables the freely adjustable contact time of the products with the water to be guaranteed when using washing additives. This step forms a fundamental basis for hygiene in further processing. (Fig. GEWA 4000)

The WMS for the GEWA PLUS or HEWA washing machines enables centrally controlled filling and emptying of the washing machines. During operation, an additional level sensor automatically regulates the water level in the washing machine. If the water level drops too low, the pneumatic infeed valves are automatically opened and fresh water is provided. The standard system is comprised of two valves for filling and two for emptying the machine, as well as the necessary pipe system. Other versions are also available on request. The WMS is operated via the switch cabinet. (Fig. GEWA 4000)

The KRONEN Water Recycling System (WRS) is used in washing lines comprised of at least two GEWA or HEWA washing machines. Excess water from the second washing machine is returned to the first washing machine, considerably reducing the overall water consumption. The system makes use of the fact that the first washing machine generally carries the higher dirt and germ load. The water from the second washing machine, which is cleaner, is therefore used to refresh the water cycle.

The trolley makes it easier to clean GEWA and HEWA washing machines. The lateral fine particle removal drum can be taken out of the machine and placed on the mobile trolley, on which it is easy to transport and clean.

KRONEN uses its SMART option to provide communication-enabled machines and processing lines. Wherever production managers, technicians or foremen might be, they can use these solutions to check the production status of a machine or line on their laptop or mobile device at any time. The collected data can be used to make production processes even more transparent and efficient, for example with regard to productivity, flexibility, quality and safety.
