Vegetable Dewatering Machine Vegetable Dehydrators
Vegetable Surface Water Removal Equipment for Vegetable Processing Lines
A Vegetable Dewatering Machine is a mechanical water-removal equipment installed after the vegetable washing machines to remove surface water from vegetables without the use of heat. It reduces weight for storage/transport, and prepares them for further vegetable processing or packing. Dehydration inhibits microbial growth, extends shelf life, and concentrates flavor and nutrients. It can be used alone or as part of a complete vegetable processing line. Vegetable dewatering machines are essential equipment in Fresh vegetable processing plants, Ready-to-eat salad lines, Frozen vegetable production lines, and Central kitchens and food factories. We supply three types of Vegetable Dewatering Machines to meet the needs of different vegetable processing plants. Vibration Vegetable Dewatering Machine. Centrifugal Vegetable Dehydrator. Air Flow Vegetable Drying Machine.

Vegetable Dewatering Machine Applications

Air Blow Vegetable Drying Machine
A long mesh conveyor belt (usually 3 to 6 meters) with large blowers mounted on top.

| Model | ADL-4000 | ADL-5000 | ADL-6000 |
| Power | 10.1kw | 13.6kw | 16.6kw |
| Capacity | 800kg/h | 1000kg/h | 1500kg/h |
| Weight | 600kg | 800kg | 1300kg |
| Dimension | 4000*1200*1600mm | 5000*1200*1600mm | 6000*1200*1600mm |
Air Blow Vegetable Drying Line Working Principle
Uses high-velocity filtered air. Powerful blowers generate wind curtains (“air knives”) that physically blast water droplets off the surface as the product moves on a conveyor belt—no mechanical contact with vegetables.
Air Blow Vegetable Drying Machine Features
- Extremely gentle
- No vegetable damage
- Adjustable air pressure
- High hygiene level
Suitable Vegetables
- Whole fruits (apples, tomatoes)
- Hard vegetables (peppers, cucumbers)
- Fragile leafy greens
- Products requiring ultra-clean processing
Centrifugal Vegetable Dewatering Machine (Vegetable Dehydrator)
Continuous Centrifugal Dehydrator. No manual baskets. It is a fully automated drum.

| Model | CDM-800 |
| Power | 1.5kw |
| Capacity | 2000kg/h |
| Weight | 600kg |
| Dimension | 1200*1200*1400mm |
Centrifugal Vegetable Dehydrator Working Principle
- Vegetables enter the Centrifugal Dehydrator from the top via a conveyor.
- Vegetables rotate inside a perforated drum at a controlled speed(300–1000 RPM)
- Centrifugal force expels surface water. Water exits through the perforated drum.
- After the cycle (e.g., 30 seconds), the Dry vegetables are discharged onto a takeaway conveyor.

Centrifugal Vegetable Dehydrator Key Features
- High dewatering efficiency
- Short processing time
- Adjustable rotation speed
- Batch or continuous operation available
Suitable Vegetables
- Cut vegetables (shredded cabbage, onion rings)
- Salad mixes. Diced or sliced vegetables
- Frozen vegetable raw materials
- Leafy greens (lettuce, spinach)
Vibrating Vegetable Dewatering Machine

| Model | VDM-300 | VDM-500 |
| Power | 0.5kw | 0.5kw |
| Capacity | 300kg/h | 400kg/h |
| Weight | 200kg | 230kg |
| Dimension | 1600*1300*850mm | 1800*1300*850mm |
Vibrating Dewatering Machine Working Principle
Vegetables move across a vibrating perforated screen or mesh belt
Controlled vibration shakes off surface water
Water drains downward into a collection tank
Vibrating Dewatering Machine Features
- Gentle, non-destructive action
- Continuous processing
- Low power consumption
- Adjustable vibration frequency
Suitable Vegetables
- Lettuce, Spinach, Cabbage leaves
- Herbs and Delicate leafy greens
- Delicate fresh-cut Vegetables

Vegetable Dewatering Machines in Vegetable Processing Lines
In modern vegetable processing plants, a Vegetable Dewatering Machine is a critical link between washing and downstream processing. It is designed to remove surface water from vegetables after washing, ensuring products are clean, hygienic, and ready for the next stage. The dewatering step prepares vegetables for efficient and sanitary processing.
Typical Vegetable Processing Workflow in a Vegetable Processing Line:
Raw Vegetable Feeding → Air Bubble / Vortex / Spray Washing → Vegetable Dewatering Machine → Inspection & Sorting → Cutting / Packaging / Freezing
Many industrial vegetable processing lines use two-stage dewatering:
- Vibration Dewatering (bulk water removal)
- Centrifugal Dewatering or Air Blow Vegetable Drying (fine water removal)
