How it works
Peas are carried by a water stream along a conveyor belt, where tread blocks hold back heavier elements like stones. When the belt reverses periodically, these elements are dropped into a flume and flow to a drum. Here water collects, is recycled and pumped back via a side-mounted pressure valve.
The peas and light dirt first arrive in the settling tank, where the peas naturally settle. In this process, the lighter elements are flushed over the wall at the end of the tank and carried away with the overflow water.
The peas are then fed through two pipes to the washing drum, which operates at a constant speed. Here, the drum cleans the peas by separating dirt particles as water passes through to the draining platform; the drum itself is perforated with 20 x 2 mm slits.
