The Apple Fruit Cleaning Machine is a premier post-harvest solution engineered to meet the rigorous hygiene standards of the global apple industry. Recognizing that apples—from crisp Fujis to delicate Galas—are prone to bruising and harbor contaminants in the stem and calyx areas, this machine integrates two specialized cleaning phases into a single footprint. By combining high-pressure air bubble surfing with precision brush scrubbing, it provides a “deep clean” that removes orchard soil, chemical residues, and natural waxes without compromising the fruit’s structural integrity or crispness.
The process utilizes a sophisticated two-stage approach.
First, apples enter the water tank where a high-volume blower creates continuous air bubbles. These bubbles provide 360-degree agitation, gently "massaging" the fruit to loosen surface debris and pesticide film.
In the second stage, the apples transition onto a rotary brush bed. As the food-grade brushes spin, they perform a mechanical scrub that targets the textured skin and the recessed stem areas. Overhead sprayers provide a final freshwater rinse, ensuring that all loosened particles are flushed away before the fruit proceeds to the sorting or packing line.
Here is the apple cleaning machine testing in our factory for your reference!!
Deep Cavity Cleaning: Unlike standard spray washers, the brush tech penetrates the apple's stem and calyx (bottom) ends, where pathogens often hide.
Non-Destructive Processing: The air bubble "buffer" prevents apples from colliding with each other or the tank walls, maintaining a 0% bruising rate.
Adjustable Cleaning Intensity: Variable frequency drives (VFD) allow operators to tune the brush speed and conveyor pace to suit different apple varieties.
Water Efficiency: Features an internal circulation and filtration unit that captures sediment, significantly reducing fresh water consumption.
Integrated 2-in-1 Design: Combines a hydro-bubble immersion tank and a high-density brush roller conveyor in one synchronized system.
Soft-Bristle Brush Technology: Specifically selected food-grade filaments that provide effective friction without scratching the delicate apple epicuticle.
SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction: Built with heavy-duty, food-safe stainless steel to resist rust and ensure long-term hygiene compliance.
High-Pressure Spray Manifold: Strategically positioned nozzles that provide high-velocity rinsing to complement the mechanical brushing action.
Enhanced Shelf Life: By eliminating surface fungi and bacteria, the machine slows down the spoilage process, reducing post-harvest losses.
Premium Aesthetic Appeal: The brushing action removes dulling residues, leaving apples with a natural, vibrant luster that attracts high-end retail buyers.
Market Compliance: Helps your facility achieve HACCP, ISO, and GlobalG.A.P. certifications, essential for exporting to EU and North American markets.
Reduced Labor Costs: Automates the most labor-intensive part of the packing line, allowing for 24/7 consistent cleaning quality with minimal supervision.
The 2 In 1 Deep Apple Fruit Cleaning Machine is the definitive choice for processors who refuse to compromise on quality. By merging Air Bubble & Brush Tech, this machine ensures that every apple leaving your facility is pristine, safe, and visually stunning. It is not just a washer; it is a vital tool for increasing your brand's reputation in the global marketplace.
