Basket centrifuge MC

During centrifuging, (leafy) vegetables are pressed against the wall of the basket by centrifugal force, causing leaves to compress together and wash water to remain trapped between them. With the reverse function, the basket slows down halfway through the cycle until it stops and then rotates in the opposite direction. This causes the (leafy) vegetables to fall back to the center of the basket, releasing trapped wash water. In the second part of the cycle, this water is effectively removed, resulting in a noticeably drier end product.

The Basket centrifuge MC contributes to ergonomic working thanks to its extremely low loading height of 22 ¹/₈". This allows operators to easily load and unload the basket with minimal physical strain, reducing lifting and bending and making daily work more comfortable and safer.

The Basket centrifuge MC distinguishes itself through a combination of high capacity, fast handling, and ease of use. Thanks to heavy-duty bearings, the machine can centrifuge batches up to 33 lbs, which is approximately 50% more capacity than many comparable machines. The automatically opening lid at the end of the drying cycle reduces manual handling and immediately gives operators a clear visual indication that the cycle has been completed.

In addition, the low loading height not only ensures an ergonomic working position, but also enables faster and more efficient loading and unloading of the baskets. The user-friendly touchscreen makes it easy to select recipes and adjust settings, meaning operators require little to no training. Together, this results in short cycle times, high output, and an efficient centrifuging process for industrial vegetable processing.

Yes, the Basket centrifuge is highly suitable for finely cut vegetables. For these applications, fine-mesh insert baskets are available with a perforation of ³/₆₄" × ³/₆₄", which can easily be placed inside the centrifuge basket. These insert baskets prevent finely cut products, such as julienne carrots, diced onions, or finely chopped chives, from escaping the basket while efficiently draining the wash water. This keeps the product intact and ensures a reliable and consistent drying result.

Adjusting both the rotation speed and centrifuging time makes it possible to precisely tailor the drying process to the product. Delicate and finer products can be centrifuged at lower speeds to prevent product damage. If necessary, the drying time can be adjusted to still effectively remove wash water. Firmer products, on the other hand, can handle higher rotation speeds and shorter cycles, increasing capacity. This adjustability ensures an optimal drying result for each product type, with minimal product damage and maximum process control.
