The crop web elevator is also fitted with a water spraying system to rinse crop as it is transferred on for processing.

Featuring a stone chute and chevron belted stone piler, the flume destoner is built with a self-contained pump which pumps water in an upward direction, where crop carries over the water flume and towards the out-feed end of the destoner, whilst stones and debris sink down to the chute and are elevated out of the machine via the stone piler. A simply designed, affordable destoner that offers effective destoning results.
INTEGRATED VEGETABLE DESTONING
A close coupled destoner can be fitted to all Tong barrel washers, offering a fully integrated destoner within one washer tank. The integrated barrel washer and destoner allows for effective removal of stones and debris from crop prior to washing.
Based on a barrel flume destoning design, an impellor fitted at the bottom of the tank creates an upward pressure on crop. Stones drop to the bottom of the tank where they are removed by a heavy duty web piler. Tong customers who have chosen this option on their barrel washer regularly testify the success of the integrated destoner in their vegetable handling facilities. Resulting in no stones passing the handling facility, meaning much less crop and equipment damage, as well as minimising downtime and maintenance.
