Washing

In the competitive world of fresh produce, the first impression is everything. For professional growers and processors of potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables, washing is a vital step in adding value to the harvest. A clean, polished product not only looks superior on the retail shelf but also allows for more accurate grading and meets stringent food safety standards. APH Group provides industrial washing solutions that combine thorough cleaning with the gentle handling your crops require.

Advanced cleaning and polishing technology

The APH Group Grading & Packing Knowledge Centre offers a wide range of washing equipment designed to handle even the most challenging soil conditions. By partnering with industry leaders like Pro-Vega and Mantis, we ensure your produce emerges spotless and market-ready.

• Pro-Vega MB barrel washers: Our robust barrel washers are engineered for high-capacity cleaning. By using a rotating action combined with high-pressure water jets, they effectively remove soil and stones while ensuring the skin of the potato or vegetable remains intact.

• Pro-Vega MV barrel polishers: To achieve that "premium" retail look, we offer advanced barrel polishers. These machines use specialized brushes to give the produce a smooth, clean finish, significantly increasing its marketability and shelf life.

• Mantis mafex systems: For precision application during the washing and processing phase, the Mantis Mafex provides ultra-low volume (ULV) misting technology. This is ideal for applying protective coatings or liquid treatments evenly across the product without excessive moisture.

Sustainability and water management

Modern agricultural processing requires a responsible approach to resources. APH Group’s washing solutions are designed with efficiency in mind. Many of our installations can be equipped with water recycling and filtration systems, allowing you to reuse water and reduce the environmental footprint of your packing station. By minimizing water consumption and managing waste effectively, we help you keep operational costs low while maintaining high standards.
