Horizontal centrifuges for leafy greens

The Centrifuge SC/NextGen evenly distributes the product inside the slowly rotating drum, which then accelerates to the set speed to gently spin moisture out of the leafy greens.
After the drying cycle, the drum decelerates, and thanks to its tilted position, the product automatically slides onto the discharge belt.
This way, the SC/NextGen ensures a continuous product flow without any damage to the product.

What our customers say about us

We primarily slice tomatoes. Sormac offered us a specially developed cup belt for this application. The slices drop directly into the cups, making them quick and easy to pack. This cup belt is the real game changer for us, because without it the slices would be scattered across a conveyor belt and would be much more difficult to handle.
