1. Destoners – The First Line of Defense
A destoner removes unwanted materials like stones, clods, and heavy foreign particles from raw food products such as potatoes, ginger, turmeric, and leafy vegetables.
Jai Bhavni’s Solution:
Destoning is essential to avoid damage to downstream equipment and ensure hygienic processing. Clean input means better dehydration and less machine wear
2. Bubble Washers – Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning
After destoning, produce enters the bubble washer, where it’s gently agitated with aerated water to remove soil, pesticides, and surface contaminants.
