The vegetable centrifuge type C-50 has been developed for centrifuging batches of various kinds of vegetables, as well as for whole leaves and other delicate products. On the machine the centrifuging time and speed can be adjusted. Furthermore, the machine can be supplied with a slow start for fragile lettuces and uncut leafy vegetables, as well as a ‘left-right’ function where the basket twists sequentially in both directions during the spinning process. This gives an optimum dewatering for coarsely cut products or whole leaves. Depending on the product, a maximum of 10 kg per batch can be processed.
