According to individual customer requirements, Kronen engineers have developed a GEWA washing machine with integrated water filter. The challenge was to develop a filtration system that would clean itself and not interfere or interrupt the wash water process. Furthermore, the customer wishes of kosher food production were taken into account in machine development. The company has succeeded in modifying the GEWA washing machine to meet the needs of the kosher market. The washing of iceberg lettuce, white and red cabbage is of particular importance for the customer's requirements. The vegetables are certified by a rabbi before the sale and receive the Hechscharim (certificate). This seal of quality also promises a higher degree of food safety, in addition to the state requirements for food control. The entire wash water is continuously pre-filtered through a slot screen drum at each cycle to 0.5 mm and passes completely through the special filtration. With this innovative washing machine, fresh cut salads, herbs and vegetables are washed thoroughly and carefully in a continuous flow process (without mechanical immersion) with the kosher requirements according to purified water. The machine is equipped with a number of following modules and features: The process water runs through the self-cleaning water filter and is returned to the wash tank as "kosher" water. The Water Management System (WMS) offers an additional advantage. It enables centrally controlled filling and emptying of the washing machines.
