Suitable for washing a wide range of root crops, Tong&#8217;s potato and vegetable barrel washer is most popularly used for efficient and gentle potato and carrot washing, as well as effective washing of parsnips, celeriac, sugar beet, swedes and more.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Potato Washing, Grading &amp; Optical Sorting Line | Tong Engineering\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AIR2y835qy8?start=13&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Tong\u2019s Blue Inverter Technology continues to play a pivotal role in ensuring maximum energy efficiency and minimal maintenance on Tong barrel washers. One of the key advances in the new barrel washer design is a new direct-drive, inverter-controlled barrel drive shaft with heavy duty coupling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy replacing the chain and sprocket drive system with a new direct-driven shaft, we have really made a significant development in the simplicity, and ultimately longevity, of the barrel washer\u2019s drive system,\u201d explains Edward. \u201cOur Blue Inverter technology direct drive systems mean power from the motor is being used efficiently, with no reductions and fewer moving parts, resulting in a very energy efficient and low maintenance machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"Greater control of crop flow\"><\/a>Greater control of crop flow<\/h3>\n<p>An all-new washer door will now bring users even greater control of crop flow from the washer, with a unique split-door design that is easily and fully adjustable via electric actuators. Like the new barrel shaft drive system, this new door design also ensures a chain and sprocket-free mechanism that is exceptionally efficient and very low maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The next generation Tong barrel washer also features a new, thicker stainless steel barrel drum. As standard, all new Tong barrel washers will be fitted with the new stainless steel drum, which is uniquely perforated for the gentlest handling of crop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7265 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tong Barrel Washer 2019 Render (2)\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-2-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alongside the introduction of the above features as standard, Tong\u2019s new barrel washer will also be available to order with a number of new and advanced options to further-increase the specification of the washer to suit specific requirements. A simplified top-shaft design incorporating Cooper split bearings will now be available as an option to eliminate the need for shaft removal when changing bearings, making maintenance even easier. Other new features include the option of a new heavy-duty direct-driven auger, a newly designed floating-debris remover, and centralised greasing point; all with minimal maintenance and maximum performance in mind.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"Standalone unit or integrated to existing handling line\"><\/a>Standalone unit or integrated to existing handling line<\/h3>\n<p>Manufactured in barrel lengths ranging from 1.2m \u2013 5m and barrel widths from 600mm \u2013 1500mm, the Tong Barrel Washer can be specified as a stand-alone unit or integrated into a new or existing handling line. The washer is available in a wide range of specifications as standard, or can be fully customised to suit exact washing requirements to suit all throughputs, however large or small.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new design developments on Tong barrel washers are bringing users an unrivalled washing solution that is even more advanced than ever before,\u201d says Edward. \u201cOur next generation Barrel Washer design, alongside our proven Auto-Touch HMI controls which include intelligent diagnostics and safety modules, mean when our customers choose a Tong washer, they can be sure of a high-performance, low maintenance machine that brings optimum washing results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7264 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tong Barrel Washer 2019 Render (1)\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/01\/Tong-Barrel-Washer-2019-Render-1-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information on Tong&#8217;s wide range of potato and vegetable washing equipment, <a href=\"https:\/\/tongengineering.com\/products\/application\/vegetable-washing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tong Engineering has announced its next generation Barrel Washer as the company continues to advance its complete range of vegetable washing solutions.
