▌Product Description
The Meatech MT-BBW bubble washing machine combines two washing mechanisms — a bubble bath (high-pressure air injected into the water creates millions of fine bubbles that gently agitate and clean the product surface from all directions) and compound high-pressure spray (directional water jets that flush dislodged soil and contamination from the product and the tank) — in a single continuous cleaning unit that provides thorough surface cleaning without the mechanical contact forces that drum or brush washing applies. The bubble mechanism is particularly well-suited to delicate and complex-surface products where physical contact washing would cause bruising, surface damage, or loss of edible material: leafy vegetables, mushrooms, berries, herbs, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, and seafood.
The MT-BBW dimensions and tank configuration are fully customised to the product type, throughput requirement, and line layout — there is no standard model size because the bubble washing machine is always specified as a bespoke unit matched to the specific application. SUS304 stainless steel construction throughout, 380V power supply, and customised processing dimensions mean the machine is designed from the specification up rather than adapted from a standard catalogue item. For produce packing lines and IQF vegetable lines where product surface integrity must be maintained through the washing stage, the MT-BBW is the correct washing technology choice.

▌Solution Applications
Solution / Line | Role of MT-BBW |
IQF Edamame, Peas & Okra | Pre-blanch washing for whole edamame pods, peas, and okra — products where the complex surface geometry (edamame pod texture, okra surface ribbing) retains soil particles that high-pressure spray alone cannot dislodge. The bubble action works into surface crevices and pod joints without mechanical contact damage to the pod surface. |
IQF Broccoli & Mixed Vegetables | Washing broccoli florets — the most challenging fresh produce washing task due to the complex open flower structure that traps soil, insects, and surface contamination. Bubble washing gently dislodges trapped contamination from the open floret structure without damaging the floret head. |
Fresh herb and leafy vegetable processing | Any delicate leaf or herb product where drum or brush washing would cause leaf bruising, tearing, or excessive weight loss from damaged tissue. The gentle bubble and spray combination is the standard washing mechanism for premium fresh herb and specialty produce packing. |
▌FAQ
Q: How does bubble washing differ from standard spray washing?
A: Standard spray washing directs water jets at the product surface — effective for dense, smooth-surfaced produce (potatoes, apples) where the jet pressure reaches all surfaces directly. Bubble washing creates millions of fine bubbles throughout the water volume that rise through the product, making contact with all surfaces simultaneously including under leaves, in floret crevices, and in pod joints where spray jets cannot reach directly. The bubble turbulence also keeps the product in gentle motion, ensuring continuous fresh-water contact with all surfaces. The combination of bubble bath and high-pressure spray in the MT-BBW provides both the deep cleaning that the bubble action achieves in surface crevices, and the final flush-off that the spray provides to remove dislodged contamination.
Q: What information is needed to specify an MT-BBW?
A: For a custom MT-BBW quotation: (1) product type — what are you washing? (broccoli, edamame, herbs, berries, other); (2) target throughput in kg/h; (3) initial contamination level (lightly soiled greenhouse produce vs heavily soiled field produce have different washing intensity requirements); (4) available floor space for the machine; (5) water supply pressure and temperature available; (6) power supply specification. Meatech designs the tank dimensions, bubble volume, spray pressure, and belt configuration from these parameters.
