Tong’s range of vegetable dryers offer an ideal addition to any crop washing line, ensuring excess water from the vegetable washing process is removed, for optimum crop finish.
Tong’s effective vegetable drying machines gently dry root crop as it passes over a series of crop-drying rollers, which rotate to ensure crop is carefully turned for efficient drying of its complete surface.
Available in mild or stainless steel construction, Tong crop dryers are most commonly used for drying potatoes after washing or polishing. They are all manufactured with stainless steel product contact points to comply with food handling standards in high-care packhouse environments.
