Elevator / Washer / Grinder
The Kreuzmayr Washer/Elevator/Grinder KWEM has the ability to wash, elevate and grind a variety of products to produce mash. This mash usually falls directly into the hopper or dosing box of a single or double belt press.

- Food grade plastic conveyor belt with variable speed drive
- Plug and play operation, delivered ready for application (1000 and 2000 model)
- Extremely maintenance friendly
- Customization of the drive and operator side to be left or right (your choice)
- Fully automatic operation
- 3-prong sensor in the mash box of the downstream machine to stop overfilling
- Single centralized bottom discharge for washing water
- Easy and quick cleaning
Fruit and vegetables are emptied into the wash basin of the KWEM Washer/Elevator/Grinder via infeed or directly with the GKE Bin Tipper. The product is washed in the basin to eliminate dirt and other particulates. With the KWEM 3000 and up models, an intensive cleaning is performed by means of a water jet circulation pump and air bubbles created by an air blower.
The now cleaned fruit is elevated and passes through a fresh water rinse on the way up the conveyor belt. The product transfers into the directly attached grinding mill to become mash that discharges directly into the dosing box of the belt press.
The small models (1000 and 2000) are delivered as a plug and play machine. Once set up in the pressing area, the machine is ready for operation. It can be easily cleaned by one person without any problems. Deflector plates in the washing basin can be disassembled easily without the need of tools.

- Food grade plastic conveyor belt
- 3-prong sensor probe in the mash box of the downstream machine
