For years, Lerford has been in the fruit and vegetable processing business, supplying washing equipment-brush washers, bubble washers, and more. Different models fit different raw materials and production targets. Not sure which one fits your line? The guide below will help you pick the right one.
1. Judge according to your ingredients
- Wash-baking brush machine: Applicable to root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, ginger, beet, and sweet potato with heavy soil. Rotating soft brushes scrub nonwoody root vegetables saying hard dirt and mud clinging to thick skins. Also not for use on soft, thin-skinned fruits that bruise easily.
- Bubble Cleans machine: Meant for leafy greens, apples, tomatoes, berries, peppers and aquatic products. High density bubbles gently clean dirt without scratching or causing any damage to the delicate produce. It is even effective for materials with a soft skin.
2. Confirm your hourly capacity needs
Know your actual output per hour. Don't buy too big a machine to save the cost, and don't choose too small one which may hinder your capacity growth. Lerford supplies customized machine sizes for small-scale workshops and large scale food factories.
3. Check for material and food safety standards
All parts contact with food should be 304 stainless steel. It has to meet the food hygiene standard and also has CE certification for european and global sales. Inferior quality carbon steel can rust and contaminate products, leading to hazards during local food inspections.

4. Think about how clean do you want them to be.
- If the removal of mud and heavy soiling on tubers is what you want → select brush washer
- If you want to wash pesticide residues, dust, and mild impurities on the surface of fruit skins → select bubble washer
- For the entire production line: we can match bubble washer + brush washer for multi-stage cleaning.
5. Consider convenience of cleaning and maintenance
Food processing equipment requires frequent disassembly and cleaning. Make sure rollers, spray pipes and tanks are easily disassembled for cleaning to avoid residue accumulation and mold development in hidden areas.
6. Budget, space and after sales support
You need to measure the workshop floor space for the machine. Verify power and water usage to determine operating cost-long run. Trusted after sale service include: remote operation training, spare parts supplying and technical directing in abroad. Lerford is committed to the sales service of all our washing machines.
