What Machines Are in a Raisin Processing Line, and in What Order Do They Run?
A stage-by-stage look at a raisin processing line: box tipping and dosing, cluster breaking, aspiration and washing, stem removal, illuminated sorting, and box filling, plus why the order can't be shuffled.

Food-grade stainless brush washing machines: industrial washing solutions for dried fruit
In dried fruit, quality is not decided by the raw material alone; washing, surface water removal, sizing and sorting shape the final product. We explain how a brush washing machine works, what hygienic design means in practice and how the right machine is chosen.

What stages make up a dried fruit processing line?
A dried fruit processing line is not a row of separate machines. This article walks through pre-cleaning, washing, surface water removal, sizing, quality control and packing, and what decides the design of each stage.

From the article to the project
We build in the field what we write about here. Tell us which fruit you process and at what capacity, and let's work out the line together.
