Do You Recognize This Problem?
"Another shipment of tomato paste rejected due to grit contamination?"
"Are your pumps, valves, and nozzles wearing out prematurely from abrasive sand?"
"Is your brand's reputation being eroded, one sandy batch at a time?"
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. For tomato processors in Egypt's Nile Delta and other sandy regions, this is not a management failure—it's a fundamental challenge posed by the local environment. Standard washing equipment simply isn't enough.
The good news: it is now a solvable problem. Introducing the Gelgoog Multi-Stage Grit Removal System, specifically engineered to tackle the unique sand challenges of Egyptian tomato processing.
Why is the Sand Problem in Egyptian Tomatoes So Stubborn?
Traditional washers fail because they don't address the root cause. Here’s why the issue is so persistent:
Sandy Soil Composition: The very soil that gives Egyptian tomatoes their rich growth is fine, sticky, and pervasive.
Limitations of Standard Equipment: Simple flume tanks and rotary washers can remove loose dirt but cannot dislodge tightly-bound sand or separate micro-grit that has the same specific gravity as the tomato flesh.
The consequences are a triple threat to your business:
Product Quality: Grit leads to customer complaints, rejected shipments, and a damaged brand reputation.
Equipment Lifespan: Abrasive sand rapidly wears down critical components like pumps and heat exchanger plates, leading to costly downtime and repairs.
Production Efficiency: Constant cleaning, maintenance, and reprocessing of rejected batches slow down your entire line and increase operational costs.
Our Core Solution: The "Multi-Stage Grit Removal System" – Not Just Washing, But Precision Separation
We don't just wash tomatoes; we engineer the complete separation of sand at every stage. Our integrated system is a precision-built answer to Egypt's specific needs.
Stage 1: Aggressive Pre-Cleaning (For Surface Mud & Gross Debris)
Equipment: Heavy-Duty Roller/Brush Washer
How It Works: Tomatoes are gently tumbled and scrubbed, effectively dislodging over 90% of surface soil and sand. The abrasive action is key for Egyptian tomatoes. The dislodged sand and water fall through a fine screen into a dedicated collection hopper.
Stage 2: Floatation & Separation (For Heavy & Light Impurities)
Equipment: High-Efficiency Flotation Tank with Integrated Bubble Washing System
How It Works: This stage uses specific gravity. Good tomatoes float, while stones, metal fragments, and other dense impurities sink. Our proprietary bubble washing system ensuring thorough cleaning and separating any remaining lightweight contaminants.
Equipment: Cyclone Grit Remover (Optional but Critical Upgrade)
How It Works: This is the game-changer for high-quality paste and sauce. After crushing, the tomato pulp is pumped through hydrocyclones. Using powerful centrifugal force, these units separate the remaining microscopic sand particles from the valuable product, ensuring your final output is impeccably smooth.
Sustainable Water Management
Equipment: Robust Water Recirculation Pump with Multi-Stage Filtration
How It Works: We close the loop. Wash water is continuously filtered and recycled, drastically reducing your water consumption. This is not only cost-effective but also a critical advantage in Egypt's water-conscious environment.
