During the 2022 edition of the Anuga Foodtec trade fair, the Kronen GmbH stand will exclusively be presenting machinery innovations in its new virtual showroom format.

Kronen’s Anuga Foodtec focus will be on presenting solutions for high-capacity vegetable processing lines, as well as innovations and the company’s classic machines. A brand-new feature is a virtual showroom where visitors together with the company’s experts will have access to the latest innovations from the Kehl am Rhein company.

According to a recent Kronen press release, during this year’s edition of Anuga Foodtec, at the company’s stand, there will be a wide selection of processing machinery, among which the potato peeling machine PL40-4 K will have its well-deserved place.

The abrasive peeling machine PL 40K peels and washes potatoes, carrots, beetroots, and other root vegetables. The aluminum oxide abrasive removes skins paper-thin. Aluminum oxide abrasive coat and disc can be replaced through a rubber-coated cylinder and disc thus changing the abrasive peeling machine into a root tuber washing machine.

Another selection of further highlights in the virtual showroom is the prewashing on a large scale with GEWA AF – optimal hygiene and reduced water consumption. The Gewa AF is a prewashing machine that uses the brand new “Active Flume” (AF) system recently developed by Kronen.

“Capacity is dependent on the product. (…) Sanitize whole fruits and whole vegetables – Deconwa Prep: The unique washing system developed by Kronen improves hygiene and as a result extends the shelf life of end products. It is used to decontaminate raw products before the next step of processing such as peeling and slicing. The machine can be placed in the Low-Care area whilst dispensing the decontaminated product into the High-Care area. The raw product is washed with cold water and a washing additive such as Citrocide® Plus, chlorine, or citric acid. Capacity is dependent on the product and dwell time. It can process (i.e. – up to) 2,400 kg/h (potatoes) with a dwell time of 30 seconds,” the company press release states.

Kronen is a family-owned, globally operating producer and supplier of stand-alone and special machines as well as high-tech processing lines for the Fresh-cut industry. The product range of Kronen and its partners covers fruit, vegetable, and salad processing solutions for preparing, cutting, washing, de-watering, peeling, disinfecting, and packaging.
