A buffer tank with elevator is a system designed for the gentle handling of food, especially fruits and vegetables. It consists of a stainless steel tank, usually filled with water, where products are dropped without damage, and an elevator that extracts the food and transports it to the next stage of the production line.
This system not only protects the integrity of the product but also enables washing and disinfection, thanks to the incorporation of showers or the mixing of water with specific disinfectants. It is a key solution for industries seeking automation, hygiene, and efficiency in their processes.
Product reception: Fruits or vegetables are unloaded into the water tank, preventing bruising or damage.
Washing and disinfection: Showers or disinfectants can be added to remove impurities and reduce bacterial load.
Product elevation: A conveyor lifts the food from the water and carries it to the next step in the production line
✅ Product protection: Minimizes physical damage, ideal for delicate fruits like strawberries or grapes.
✅ Guaranteed hygiene: Immersion in water and the use of disinfectants ensure deep cleaning.
✅ Process optimization: Reduces manual handling and speeds up production.
✅ Versatile design: Available in various sizes and with modular or metal conveyor options.
✅ Reduced operating costs: Integrating several functions in one machine optimizes resources and lowers expenses.
Buffer tanks with elevators can be manufactured in various sizes and configurations to meet each industry’s requirements. Different types of conveyor belts can be included, along with dosing systems for disinfectants and waste removal devices.
If you are looking to automate and improve efficiency in your fruit and vegetable processing line, this system is an excellent investment.
