MD Drum washer

MD Series Drum Washer: High-Capacity, Efficient Washing for a Pristine Product

Deliver an impeccably clean product to the market with the KMK MD Series, a range of robust drum washers designed for high-capacity, effective washing of potatoes and other root vegetables. The core of the MD washer is its large, 1200 mm diameter perforated drum, constructed from durable, acid-resistant steel. This provides a thorough yet gentle tumbling action that efficiently removes soil, while the perforations allow debris to fall away, keeping the washing water cleaner for longer.

To further enhance cleaning efficiency, the water bath is designed with two sedimentation hoppers that collect mud and debris, simplifying the clean-out process. As the vegetables exit the drum, they pass under a set of sprinklers on the output conveyor for a final fresh-water rinse, ensuring a pristine finish.

Choose Your Level of Automation

The MD Series is available with two distinct water management systems to match your operational needs:

  • Standard Model: Features mechanically operated valves for straightforward, manual control over the emptying of the water bath. A reliable and cost-effective solution for many operations.

  • Fully-Automated Model: This advanced option features a complete control system with pneumatic valves, a water-level sensor, and a touch screen interface. You can pre-set the frequency and duration of water discharge cycles, creating a "smart" system that conserves water, reduces labor, and maintains optimal cleaning conditions automatically.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • High-Capacity Washing: The large 1200 mm drum is designed to handle high volumes of produce, keeping your entire line moving efficiently.

  • Effective & Gentle Cleaning: The perforated drum gently tumbles vegetables to remove dirt while protecting the product from damage.

  • Cleaner Water, Better Wash: Dual sedimentation hoppers effectively remove sludge from the water bath, resulting in a more hygienic and effective wash.

  • Final Rinse System: An integrated output conveyor with sprinklers provides a final rinse for a perfectly clean product.

  • Durable Construction: Built with a heavy-duty, powder-painted steel frame and an acid-resistant steel drum for a long service life in a wet environment.
