Turatti is to present an innovative new product to the world’s salad processing market at this year’s Fruit Logistica in Berlin. “It is called Vortex H and is designed to meet the need for large producers of convenience products to have a high productivity spin dryer with performance levels close to those of a drying tunnel – a large capacity and delicate handling of fragile products – while also offering the lowest moisture content currently available on the market. It has a capacity of 2,500 kg/hr for adult leaves or 1,000 kg/hr for baby leaves with a maximum of 2.5% residual moisture,” said CEO Enrico Gribaudo. The basket has a large surface and a wider hole to allow excellent water drainage. The direct drive torque motor achieves high rotation speeds with excellent acceleration and braking characteristics.
