OW Water Destoner: Protect Your Line, Perfect Your Product

Consider the OW Destoner your insurance policy for the entire processing line. This highly effective and product-friendly machine is engineered to be the first line of defense against damage, using an intelligent water flotation system to separate heavy stones and soil clods from your potatoes and root vegetables. It is an essential investment for any operation dealing with produce from heavy or stony soil, protecting your valuable downstream equipment from costly damage and downtime.

Intelligent Flotation Technology

The OW Destoner uses the simple principle of density to achieve a gentle yet highly effective separation.

1. Produce, along with stones and contaminants, enters a two-chamber water tank.

2. A powerful turbine at the base creates a controlled upward stream of water.

3. This stream is precisely calibrated to carry the lighter vegetables up and out of the tank on a bar conveyor.

4. Heavier stones and clods sink to a lower chamber, where they are collected and removed by a separate, heavy-duty stone elevator.

Fine sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, which has been designed for easy access and convenient clean-out.

Automated and Water-Efficient Operation

The OW Destoner is designed for continuous, automated operation with minimal oversight.

• Automatic Water Management: A solenoid valve and pressure sensor maintain a constant water level, while pneumatically actuated drain dampers automatically discharge polluted water at a frequency you can set. This ensures optimal performance and efficient water use.

• Gentle on Your Product: The water flotation method is exceptionally gentle, preventing the bruising and mechanical damage that can be caused by other separation methods.

• Protects Your Investment: By removing hard, sharp stones at the very beginning, the destoner prevents catastrophic damage to your washers, polishers, and sizing equipment.

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the most abrasive intake conditions, the destoner is a reliable workhorse for the most demanding part of your line.

Start your process with a clean, stone-free product. The OW Destoner is the ultimate guardian of your production line.
