At schools and in canteens, but also at home after work, the search is on for. A very hygienic leafy vegetable centrifuge designed for delicate leafy vegetables. The drum has a completely smooth inner surface and no central axle. The centrifuge type SC is suitable for drying of all kind of leaf, prepared vegetables and herbs. The capacity of the centrifuge is wholy dependent on the product, the moisture retention and the desired moisture level. The food life SDS is developed to give fruits and vegetables a longer shelf life. Therefore food life developed a suction-air-dry -system, which delivers the final products not only drier but also in an optimal condition. The system is suitable for baby leaf, fresh cut fruit, chopped lettuce and various different vegetables like sugar snaps, cauliflower and broccoli florets. The moisture is collected and guided away from the machine. Each module is equipped with an extra knocking bar to rearrange the product during the drying process. In order to be able to achieve this high degree of drying, the Food life SDS uses an air technology which results in mechanical dewatering & drying. In addition, the blown out air is of a higher temperature than the product. This has a favourable effect on the potential subsequent process, in which the product is dried at a higher temperature. Above the main transport belt is a specifically designed mesh belt to ensure the product is held in the correct area for drying and prevents product from being blown out of the system. Many different recipes can be controlled from the central control panel to make sure that the optimum settings are achieved for each product. The air from the suction blower is guided through a noise reduction box which captures moisture and reduces the noise.
