The FMT flotation washer, type FW, has an integrated air injection system, enabling a thorough cleaning action without damaging the product. 

The in-feed side of the washer is provided with water jets, which assist in the separation of the product and flume it towards the Jacuzzi section. The adjustable water flow ensures that the dwell time within the washer can be accurately programmed.

The filtered water is held in the retention overflow tank beneath the discharge of the washer where it is re-introduced to the washer through the circulation pump.

 Depending on the product specifications and the desired throughput the washer can be delivered in 600, 1000 and 1500 mm width.
