Cyclone destoner DS series

root vegetable

For separation of natural stones from roots to be processed The system is operating continuously with separation of natural stones from vegetables/roots ensuring no damaging of following equipment like washers, peelers and slicer/dicers. The system uses the flow ability of the product to separate natural stone / soil from product. A rotary propel is bringing the water into a cyclone circulation, which separate the heavier natural stones, gravel and soil from the product. The product is slipped over a lower edge of the conical water vessel/tank. Stone, sand/soil can be removed manually through a large trap/door after operation or alternatively can be removed continuously by means of a built in elevator into the conical water vessel/tank. The overflow water together with de-stoned/pre-washed products is separated by a grill, leading the water back into the conical water vessel by gravity and by a robust pump injecting part of the water into the bottom of the vessel thus forming a water-flow lifting the product up/over the lower edge of the tank and to the next machine for further processing. The water is recirculated all the time – only a little “make-up” water is continuously added. Capacity: From 6.000 kg/h up to 25.000 kg/h depending on root diameter. Equipment: • The total machine conical water buffer vessel/tank and parts are manufactured either in stainless steel or in food prof plastic material. • The machine is designed with an overhead vertical placed shaft connected to one gearmotor for rotating of propel to keep the water and product in circulation with a controlled overflow of water/product mix into the following machine.
