HOW TO DO SEPTEMBER TIP: Washing chanterelles with GEWA washing machines with vibration outfeed

Washing chanterelles with GEWA washing machines with vibration outfeed

Target: Removal of dirt particles like soil, fir needles or dust
Machines: GEWA washing machines with vibration outfeed(e.g. GEWA 3800V PLUS, GEWA 3800V ECO, GEWA 2600V PLUS)
Result: Cleaned chanterelles that can be processed further as ready to cook products
Capacity: Up to 800 kg of chanterelles can be washed per hour

Process:
Basic conditions for the process are:

• The chanterelles are put into the wash tank of the GEWA washing machine
• Setting of the nozzles and ball valves adjusted to the specific requirements of the product, to ensure an efficient cleaning but simultaneously avoiding damage of the mushrooms
• The water spiral transports the chanterelles onto the vibration screen where they are rinsed with fresh water
• The chanterelles are pre-dewatered by the vibration outfeed

Thanks to the versatile setting options of the GEWA washing machine, the water spiral can be adjusted also to delicate products. Dirt particles are separated from the product and water by the sand trap, lateral fines removal drum as well as the vibration screen. After the chanterelles are dried for some time, they can be further processed as ready to cook products. Thus, the time consuming and expensive manual cleaning of the chanterelles is no longer required and customers in the food service industry and producers of convenience food profit from saving of time.
