A room type drencher is used for washing operations up to 20 pallets per hour, and a conveyor drencher system is used for systems with 20 pallets per hour or more.

What is a Citrus Washing Drencher Machine?

The citrus washing and drencher machine is an industrial washing system that provides hygienic post-harvest cleaning for citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and tangerines. These machines effectively remove dust, mud, pesticide residue, and microorganisms from the produce's surface, improving visual quality and extending shelf life.

How Does It Work?

Drencher systems generally operate using an overhead spray method. As the fruit moves along the conveyor belt, high-pressure nozzles spray water evenly. Optionally, food-safe disinfectant or antifungal solutions can be added to the water.
