The Viviparidae Brush Washing Machine is an automatic brush washing machine designed specifically for cleaning the hard shells of viviparidae (river and freshwater snails). It automatically brushes and removes mud and debris from river snail shells, while maintaining the integrity of the snails. It is suitable for use in river snail farms, processing plants, and deep processing lines. It efficiently and minimally damages surface dirt on the snails, improving the quality and efficiency of subsequent processing steps (such as shelling, meat removal, and grading).
Viviparidae is a widely distributed and diverse family of freshwater snails characterized by hard shells, organic attachments, and shell surface coverage with algae, silt, and plankton.
During actual processing, river snail shells often become contaminated with large amounts of impurities such as silt, algae, and microbial film. Failure to thoroughly brush clean the shells can compromise product cleanliness, subsequent separation efficiency, and quality stability. This automatic brush washing machine is designed with these characteristics in mind, meeting the high standards of the viviparidae processing industry.
The working principle of this automatic scrubber can generally be summarized as a comprehensive treatment process of "mechanical scrubbing + water scouring + particle abrasion + automatic sludge removal." Its core process is as follows:
Pre-soaking and Softening Stage
The river snails first enter a soaking tank where they are soaked in an appropriate concentration of clean water or a mild disinfectant/softener for a period of time to loosen any mud, رمل, algae, or other debris attached to their shells.
Mechanical Scrubbing with Brush Heads
التالي, the scrubbing stage begins. The machine is equipped with several rotating brush heads or multiple rows of brushes. These brushes contact the shell surface along a defined path, wiping and scrubbing the shell in a targeted manner to physically remove any debris.
Auxiliary Water Scrubbing + Particle Abrasion
The brush heads operate in tandem with alternating high- and low-pressure water jets. Small particles (such as fine ceramic beads, shell fragments, or plastic microbeads) may also be added to the system for abrasive action to further remove more stubborn debris.
Separation and Debris Discharge
The removed impurities, حطام, and silt are carried by the water flow into the debris discharge channel. They are filtered and separated by screens, sedimentation, or centrifugal devices. The solid waste is discharged, and the cleaned snail bodies continue to the next process.
Snail Body Output
After scrubbing, the snail bodies are pushed out of the machine by water flow or vibration and enter the next stage, such as shelling, meat extraction, and grading.
River Snail Washing Machine Parameter
Multi-row rotating brush head design
The machine features multiple brush heads with adjustable speed and interchangeable materials (nylon, silicone, soft, إلخ.), allowing them to conform to the curves of the shells.
Adjustable water jet + built-in spray system
Multiple spray channels enable high-pressure, low-pressure, and pulsed water jets to enhance the removal of debris.
Solid-liquid separation and automatic slag discharge module
A built-in screen, sedimentation tank, or centrifugal filter automatically discharges shell fragments, sediment, and impurities generated during scrubbing, preventing clogging of the main chamber.
Modular Structure & Adjustable Parameters
The entire machine features a modular structure (brush module, water circulation module, slag discharge module, and control module). Parameters such as brush speed, ضغط الماء, soaking time, and push speed are adjustable and controlled by a PLC or touchscreen.
Efficient cleaning, labor-saving.
The machine operates continuously, processing large quantities of river snails at once, eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual scrubbing.
Low damage rate, high snail integrity.
The brush head features a selectable material and adjustable force, removing dirt more gently than harsh impact or sharp friction, causing less damage to the shells or underlying soft tissue of the Viviparidae snails.
Strong stability, low failure rate.
The modular design and simple mechanical structure make it easy to maintain. The anti-clogging design of the slag discharge mechanism reduces downtime for maintenance.
Adaptable to various shell shapes and sizes.
By adjusting the brush head position, سرعة, and spray direction, it can handle Viviparidae snails of different sizes and shell shapes, providing excellent versatility.
Improve processing efficiency & reduce labor costs
On high-volume production lines, automated scrubbing can significantly increase productivity, replacing manual scrubbing and saving labor costs.
Improve product quality & reduce defective product rates
More thorough and uniform cleaning positively impacts subsequent shelling, separation, and packaging, reducing quality issues caused by residual impurities.
Shorten production cycle / Improve assembly line efficiency
The time from snail cleaning to the next step is significantly shortened, making the entire snail processing process more streamlined and seamless.
Enhance brand image / Meet hygiene standards
The automated, controlled cleaning process complies with food-grade or aquatic product processing standards, facilitating certification and boosting customer confidence.
Patents have documented an integrated structural design for "river snail shell crushing + separation + تنظيف + sludge removal," demonstrating the technical feasibility and industrialization of this type of equipment.
There are numerous snail/river snail/field snail/shellfish cleaning machines on the market, among which the brush-and-spray combination is widely used, demonstrating the feasibility of brush cleaning in the aquatic products industry.
For example, viviparidae snails, whose shells are hard and prone to algae and sediment accumulation, are typical targets for mechanical brush cleaning.
In related cleaning equipment (such as shellfish, clam, and mussel shell cleaning machines), brush- and spray-based combinations are widely used and mature.
The Automatic Viviparidae Brush Washing Machine for River Snail Hard Shell is a specially designed automated brush washing machine specifically for cleaning the hard shells of viviparidae snails. Its design combines multiple rows of rotating brush heads, water jets, and solid-liquid separation for slag removal, achieving efficient, minimal-damage, فعال الطاقة, and stable cleaning results. Compared to traditional manual or flushing systems, it offers significant advantages in efficiency, نظافة, product quality, and automation.
