Smartpack Date Washing & Cleaning Machine

The Most Efficient Industrial Solution for Cleaning and Preparing Dates Before Processing

In modern industrial date-processing lines, the washing and cleaning stage is one of the most critical steps before any subsequent operations such as sorting, pitting, or packaging.
The Smartpack Date Washing & Cleaning Machine is engineered as a fully integrated solution that removes dust, debris, sticks, and impurities, while ensuring effective sanitation that prepares dates for all upcoming processing stages.

This machine integrates seamlessly with other systems in the same production section, such as:

• Smartpack – Date Polishing & Brush Cleaning Machine (for improved appearance)

• Smartpack – Date Sorting Machine (for classification by size and quality)

• Smartpack packaging units for final-stage processing

General Description

The Smartpack Date Washing & Cleaning Machine relies on a multi-stage combination of conveyors, sprayers, and vibrators.
The process begins with removing sticks and debris via a vibratory system, followed by cold or hot water spraying with vibration to ensure deep cleaning from all sides. After that, an initial air-drying step removes surface moisture. Finally, dates pass through an advanced drying and sanitizing chamber that leaves them clean, disinfected, and ready for packing or direct sale.

Detailed Technical Specifications

1) Structure & Manufacturing

• Main Material: Food-grade stainless steel 304 (anti-corrosive and easy to sanitize)

• Control System: Smart touch panel for full operation management

This unit can be integrated with the Smartpack Date Polishing Machine to produce fully cleaned and polished dates before sorting.

2) Washing & Spraying System

• Inclined Conveyor: Lifts and distributes dates evenly across the workstation

• Water Spraying Unit: Sprays cold or hot water with synchronized vibration to guarantee thorough cleaning

After washing, dates can be transferred directly to the Smartpack Date Sorting Machine for precise quality and size classification.

3) Initial Drying & Sanitization

• High-performance Air Blowers: Remove surface water after washing

• Sanitizing/Drying Tunnel: Ensures full sterilization and safety before packaging
