The dipping tank is used for fruit such as apples, which require a controlled contact time with water (with or without additives).

The product is collected in a bath with rotary paddle drums. The drums are mounted over the length of the dip compartment. The product can be continually loaded into the machine. The paddle drums rotate, thus submerging everything below the water surface. The discharge of the product is on the opposite side of the infeed by means of a dewatering shaker or dewatering belt. Optionally the machine can be provided with a drum filter as well as an internal heat exchanger to cool down the product during the dipping operation.

Dwell times are controlled with average parameters between 1-5 minutes.

The dipping tank is completely manufactured in stainless steel and equipped with a drain valve. This machine can be made completely accessible for easy cleaning and maintenance.
