Kronen GEWA washing machine for kosher production

According to individual customer requirements, Kronen engineers have developed a GEWA washing machine with an integrated water filter. According to Kronen, the challenge was to develop a filtration system that would clean itself and not interfere or interrupt the wash water process. Furthermore, they also stated that the customer wishes of kosher food production were taken into account in machine development.

"The GEWA washing machine now meets the needs of the kosher market. The washing of iceberg lettuce, white and red cabbage is of particular importance for the customer's requirements. The vegetables are certified by a rabbi before the sale and receive the Hechscharim (certificate). This seal of quality also promises a higher degree of food safety, in addition to the state requirements for food control. The entire wash water is continuously pre-filtered through a slot screen drum at each cycle to 0.5 mm and passes completely through the special filtration," Kronen representatives claimed.

The machine is equipped with a number of following modules and features:

The process water runs through the self-cleaning water filter and is returned to the wash tank as "kosher" water. The integrated display shows when the filter system cleans itself and the polluted water is drained. The rinsing process is optimized for water consumption.

The Water Management System (WMS) offers an additional advantage. It enables centrally controlled filling and emptying of the washing machines. During operation, the water level in the washing machine is automatically controlled via an additional level sensor. If the water level drops too low, the pneumatic inlet valves are automatically opened and the GEWA is supplied with kosher fresh water.
