Drum Beet Washer

The drum-type beet washer (MB) is designed for washing the roots of sugar beet. It is composed of a drum with an inner screw conveyer. By chute 1 beet is fed into screen-typed charging part 2 of the drum intended for separation and removal of conveying and washing water through pan 3. Steel bandings 5 of washing section 4  bear up against rollers 6. The drum is set into rotation by the electric motor via reduction gear 7 and pair of gears 8, the pinion of which is secured to the reduction gear shaft while the wheel is fitted to the beet washer drum. While the drum rotates, the beet in the drum is moved and discharged into the rinser by the screw conveyer.
