Soaking washing unit

Tong’s vegetable pre-soak tank, also known as wet hoppers, are available in mild and stainless steel construction and ensure exceptionally gentle reception of crop at high throughputs. Suitable for the infeed of dirty or clean vegetables including carrots, potatoes, parsnips, swedes and more, Tong pre-soak tanks are a particularly popular choice at the infeed of potato, parsnip and carrot washing lines to effectively loosen soil and cool crop post-harvest, prior to the vegetable washing and polishing process. ENHANCE YOUR VEGETABLE WASHING PROCESS Tong wet hoppers provide an effective pre-wash solution for heavily soiled vegetables. Pre-soak tanks are often integrated in packhouse environments as the presence of water means that excess debris, soil and sand separates from the crop within the hopper. The light soaking action within the pre-soak tank can be enhanced when crop is left to ‘soak’ in the tank for longer dwelling times. These dwell periods can be adjusted to suit the level of debris within the crop, ensuring the speed at which crop passes through the pre-soak is fine-tuned for optimum pre-wash results. EFFECTIVELY REMOVE SOIL & DEBRIS All debris from the crop is easily removed from the tank via the pre-soak tank’s dump valves. Tong pre-soak tanks are also available with the option of an integrated tank auger for even more effective accumulation and removal of soil and debris.
