The Tri-Pak Standard Brush Unit is a versatile produce washer designed to clean tomatoes, citrus, potatoes, and other round commodities as they pass through the brush bed consisting of a row of forward rotating brushes. The number of brushes can range from a short bed of 6 or 8 all the way up to 36, depending on the application.  Optional add-on components add functionality to convert a basic brushing action into a washing, drying, or waxing operation.

An overhead rinse spray hood is available as an add-on, providing continuous water washing during operation. The spray hood features a low-volume PVC spray bar, a stainless steel drain pan, and a removable stainless steel lid for easy cleaning and maintenance.

For wax application, the Tri-Pak Model 6500 Waxer integrates 16 waxing brushes (3-1/4" diameter, 3-1/2" centers) in a 60" usable width configuration with 4 buffer brushes overhead, a Modine 350,000 BTU heater plumbed directly to the waxer, and an overhead tube-axial exhaust fan — complete with a wax dolly, electronic controls, and an included 16-gallon drum of wax.

For drying, an air plenum with overhead propeller fans can be added to remove surface moisture after washing.

Each unit is built from stainless steel throughout and includes a single or three phase motor with electrical disconnect, drive assembly, and all required safety guards. An electronic variable speed drive is available as an option for operations requiring adjustable brush speed.

Versatile and straightforward to maintain, the Tri-Pak Standard Brush Unit is the essential first step in the produce wash line for melon and round commodity packing operations, with spray hood, wax applicator, and air plenum options that allow the unit to be configured as a complete wash-rinse-wax-dry station.
