We design the fully automatic citrus washing machine for industrial cleaning of citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits, etc.).This machine utilizes a unique combination of food-grade brushes and high-pressure spraying technology to effectively remove dirt, dust, pesticide residues, and wax from the surface of citrus fruits while maintaining the integrity of the peel, providing clean raw materials for subsequent grading, waxing, packaging, or further processing.
Professional Washing, Efficient Operation
Our citrus washing machine integrates multiple cleaning processes to ensure that every fruit receives thorough treatment.
Flexible Brush Roller System
- Uses food-grade nylon or PP brushes with soft and durable bristles, powerfully removing dirt without damaging the citrus peel.
- The brush rollers feature a counter-rotating design, ensuring that all surfaces of the fruit are thoroughly washed.
- The brush roller spacing can be easily adjusted according to the size of the citrus fruits, accommodating fruits of different sizes.
High-Pressure Circulating Spray System
- Multiple sets of high-pressure spray pipes are arranged on the top and sides of the machine, using circulating filtered water to continuously rinse the citrus fruits during washing.
- Adjustable spray pressure effectively removes impurities without damaging the fruit.
- An optional hot water washing function enhances dewaxing and pesticide residue removal.
Impurity Separation and Water Circulation System
- The water flow carries impurities detached during washing into a multi-layer filtration system (including a sedimentation tank and drum screen), enabling clean water recycling and saving over 60% of water..
- A specially designed drain outlet facilitates the centralized removal of sediment such as mud and leaves.
Customizable Configuration
- Equipment length and the number of brush rollers can be customized according to customer production capacity requirements (e.g., 2-10 tons/hour).
- Easily integrated with upstream and downstream equipment such as elevators, dryers, grading machines, and waxing machines to form a complete processing line.

FAQ
Q: Does this washing machine affect the natural wax layer on citrus fruits?
A: Standard washing partially removes the natural wax layer, needed in many processing stages. To retain it, adjust brush stiffness and time. For fresh fruit, we offer a waxing machine to restore protection and shine.
Q: Is it effective at removing pesticide residues?
A: Mechanical brushing with high-pressure spraying significantly removes surface residues. For stricter requirements, we offer an optional ozone water system for stronger degradation.
Q: How does it adapt to different citrus sizes (from kumquats to grapefruits)?
A: Our equipment features adjustable brush roller spacing via handwheel or electric control, adapting to different fruit diameters within minutes for quick changeover.
