Barrel Washer

A high-capacity barrel washer that gives you high-volume, gentle cleaning

The HJV Barrel Washer uses a revolutionary design to deliver high volume washing to your lines. It is a high-capacity barrel washer, providing fast, effective cleaning for large volumes of produce while preserving product integrity. It comes in a range of sizes — from 4 meters to 9 meters long — in either 48-inch or 60-inch widths. The HJV Barrel Washer can be integrated with up to 12 different lanes. Its quick, auger-based system can clean up to 165,000 lbs per hour. A range of damage reduction features ensure both that speed and product protection go hand-in-hand.

The HJV Barrel Washer features a “pintle” lining. The pintle strips help clean difficult products and barrels can be fully lined or half-lined, depending on your needs. The Barrel Washer also uses a unique, smooth surface, with a “D” mold rubber surface. This serves to trap dirt, debris and other foreign objects while maintaining a smooth surface, protecting your product. And the HJV Barrel Washer uses an augur system to self-empty. Combined with easy-to-use controls, operators can regulate the amount of water used in cleaning, and the waste discharged, as needed.

The HJV Barrel Washers offer you efficient, effective cleaning without damaging your product. And with a robust, stainless-steel construction and a variety of access doors, these Barrel Washers are easy to maintain, keeping your products clean for season after season.

The HJV Barrel Washer is designed for industrial-scale cleaning, with output rates of up to 165,000 lbs per hour, depending on size and configuration. Each unit is built from durable 4mm stainless steel and features full or half pintle lining for optimized scrubbing power. Its “D” mold rubber spiral helps remove debris while cushioning delicate crops, minimizing damage, even at high speeds. Key enhancements include a fresh water rinse bar, gas-assisted access doors and optional spray bars with ozonation for improved sanitation. With optional integrated features like destoners, floating debris removal, and drag chains for waste, this washer is the backbone of high-volume cleaning lines in demanding environments.
