Efficient water consumption
Only 1–1.5 liters of water per kilogram of seeds
Higher throughput capacity
Modular design with 2 wash drums enables washing capacities of up to 10,000 kg of dry pumpkin seeds per hour.
Excellent washing results
Residues such as pulp are completely removed, saving time and energy in the subsequent drying process.
Robust construction
The stainless steel washing system and a sturdy support frame ensure durability and reliability.
Compact design
The space-saving dimensions of approximately 3.1 x 1.25 x 3 m make the system ideal for various production environments.
Expandability
Optionally, a coarse particle separation can be integrated, allowing shell parts to be removed before drying.
The Ascon3 POSEIDON pumpkin seed rotor washer uses an innovative combination of mechanical movement and targeted water flow to ensure efficient and thorough cleaning of the pumpkin seeds. Residues such as pulp are completely removed, while the good product is treated gently.
An integrated spray bar guides water through the perforations of the drum sieve, causing the wet cores to fall. Larger residues and shell parts remain in the drum and are discharged at the end via a chute. The cleaned good product goes directly into the washing drum for the main washing process. A roller brush and scraper plates made of spring steel continuously clean the drum screen and ensure smooth operation.
-
Efficient separation
Shell parts and larger residues are reliably separated from the good product before the actual washing process. -
Energy saving
Coarse particles are not dried, which reduces the energy requirement in the downstream drying process. -
Direct attachment
The system is installed above the washing system to save space,
which enables seamless integration.
-
Overall dimensions incl. Washing system approx. 3.6 x 1.25 x 3.8 m
-
Total space requirement approx. 6 x 2 m
-
Stainless steel trommel screen: length 2.8 m, separator length 2 m,
diameter 500 mm, perforation: 18 mm -
Electrical power 1.1 kW
Functionality
The water is treated via a conical funnel screen that rotates continuously. Suspended solids and small parts are separated by the rotation of the sieve.
Proven technology
The proven and reliable technology originates from press technology and is used, for example, in apple juice production.
-
Conserving resources
Treatment and
reuse of water significantly reduce overall water consumption. -
Flexible use
The treated water can be used for additional units such as the pumpkin seed pump or coarse particle separation. -
Efficient cleaning
Suspended solids and
small particles are effectively removed, which ensures the quality of the recycled water.
