Continuous Tripe Washer

Product Features:

This machine is optimally designed for the unique structure of honeycomb tripe. Multiple sets of high-speed rotating spray bars direct high-pressure hot water deep into the numerous folds, flushing away most loose material. Following this, flexible nylon brush rollers use physical friction to effectively detach stubbornly adhered contaminants and some of the inner membrane. Gentle heated water aids in fat dissolution and deodorizing without cooking the tissue. A closed-loop water recirculation system with multi-stage filtration significantly conserves water while maintaining cleaning efficacy. All-stainless steel construction with seamless welding ensures hygiene with no dead spots, allowing for thorough cleaning and disinfection. PLC program control standardizes the washing process for consistent quality.

Product Specifications:

The machine's tunnel length is typically 4-6 meters, with a processing capacity of 500-1000 kg/hour. Operating water temperature can be precisely set according to process requirements. Conveyor belt speed is infinitely variable to control washing time. It is equipped with an optional automatic chemical dosing pump for adding food-grade detergents or neutralizers. The machine includes drain valves and access panels for easy maintenance. The compact design complies with food processing equipment hygiene regulations.

Product Application:

This machine is located in the bovine by-products processing area. Tripe that has been initially trimmed, opened, and freed of large content chunks is evenly spread on the infeed conveyor belt. The tripe moves slowly through the washing tunnel, sequentially undergoing powerful pre-rinsing, brush scrubbing, and clean water rinsing stages. The washed tripe becomes clean with a natural color, meeting the raw material hygiene standards for subsequent processes like blanching, cooling, cutting, packaging, or further processing (e.g., stewing). By transforming traditional labor-intensive manual washing into an efficient, controllable industrial process, this equipment greatly improves product consistency and processing capacity, making it essential for modern beef processing plants aiming for high-value by-product utilization.
