Potato and Vegatable processor in Russia
For a potato and vegetable processor in Russia, Taneco supplied two complete treatment lines: one for washing water from carrots and potatoes, and one for purifying red beet wash water. Both installations are similar in design, with the carrot and potato line providing a capacity of 50 m³/hour, and the beet line 20 m³/hour.
In both treatment lines, sand is first removed using sand cyclones. A shaking screen then ensures that solids are discharged with an efficiency of up to 80% dry matter. Rotostrainers remove the organic material from the water, after which the pre-treated wash water is pumped to the belt thickeners.
The customer chose the Belt Thickener Plus to achieve additional sludge thickening. Behind the belt thickeners, hoppers are installed to easily collect the stackable sludge in crates. In the 50 m³/hour line, a Belt Thickener U117 Plus is used, while the 20 m³/hour line is equipped with a Belt Thickener U112 Plus. At the end of both installations, ozone systems are integrated to minimise bacterial growth, after which the purified water is pumped back to the washers.
All pipework to and from the washers was installed by Taneco’s technicians. The installation is controlled via a Human Machine Interface and, thanks to the built-in web interface, can be remotely supported by Taneco whenever needed.
