Proven technique with new twist

The Sormac Pulstar flotation washer for leafy vegetables receives positive feeback from many companies, according to the company. Now Sormac decided to give the existing machine a new twist. The renewed Pulstar distinguishes itself by its 20 % lower water capacity and this leads to a considerable daily saving in water consumption. It also means that less time is spent on filling and emptying.

By constantly injecting air through alternately operating sections of the air pipes, the unique peristaltic system ensures that the dwell time of the leaves in the washer is very consistent. If desired, this can be programmed for up to two minutes. In the case of mixed salad leaves, it also ensures that the different types of leaves are thoroughly mixed, saving the need for an extra mixing drum.

The process parameters, such as the dwell time for different products, can be easily
automated because the washer is equipped with two frequency-driven pumps and does not have control valves.
