Potatoes are a root agricultural product, and there is often a lot of dirt and impurities on the surface. Therefore, cleaning is a crucial step in potato processing. Potato washing machines are the main equipment for washing potatoes. According to different process requirements and cleaning methods, potato washing machines can be mainly divided into bubble washing machines, drum washing machines, brush washing machines and other types.
1. Bubble cleaning machine
The bubble cleaning machine uses the bubble generator in the water tank to generate a large number of bubbles, which gently impact and roll the surface of the potatoes, and cooperate with the water flow to remove dirt and impurities.
Applicable scenarios:
Suitable for preliminary cleaning that requires high cleaning effect and does not want to damage the skin, such as the first process of the production line to remove floating mud and fine sand.
Advantages:
The cleaning process is gentle and not easy to damage potatoes.
Can handle potatoes of irregular shapes or sizes.
Energy-saving and environmentally friendly, suitable for food-grade processing.
2. Drum cleaning machine
The drum cleaning machine consists of a rotating drum and a water flow and spray system. The rotation of the drum causes the potatoes to roll and rub continuously in the machine to remove mud and sand.
Applicable scenarios:
Suitable for large-scale industrial cleaning, especially for potatoes with a lot of soil or that need to be peeled.

Advantages:
It can achieve cleaning and preliminary peeling at the same time.
It has a significant effect in removing dirt and old skin.
The hardness of the brush can be adjusted to meet different needs.
