The basket mill ACBM helps to reduce the waste of falling vegetables significantly. The ACBM is designed to place behind a vegetable washing machine. The ACBM’s optical sensor detects when the basket is full and subsequently the carousel automatically rotates to the next position with an empty basket. This rotation happens very fast and vegetables that did not make it into the basket are caught by the feed hopper and put into the next basket. The machine is made completely of stainless steel for perfect hygiene and longevity. The ACBM basket mill goes seemlessly together with the vegetable washing machines VWM-2500 and VWM-3600 and the vegetable dryers HS-ES and HS-FLEX in a small- to medium sized vegetable processing line or a high capacity vegetable processing line.

Basket Mill ACBM
The basket mill ACBM helps to reduce the waste of falling vegetables significantly. The ACBM is designed to place behind a vegetable washing machine. The ACBM’s optical sensor detects when the basket is full and subsequently the carousel automatically rotates to the next position with an empty basket. This rotation happens very fast and vegetables that did not make it into the basket are caught by the feed hopper and put into the next basket. The machine is made completely of stainless steel for perfect hygiene and longevity. The ACBM basket can be seamlessly integrated in a vegetable processing line for cutting, washing and drying vegetables.
A basket mill is often used as an intermediate station where the product is collected from the washing machine and subsequently transferred to the centrifugal dryer. Here, it is important that the baskets in the basket mill are filled to exactly the correct level. If there is too much product in the basket, the excess will be thrown out during the centrifugal drying process. If there is too little product in the basket, the capacity of the centrifugal dryer will not be optimized.
An optical sensor automatically rotates the basket mill to the correct filling height, guaranteeing the optimal amount of product for the centrifugal drying process. With a manual basket mill, the operator has to assess the correct filling height while simultaneously placing baskets in and out of the centrifugal dryers. This, in practice, often leads to inconsistencies in the filling height, resulting in waste and lower output.
In short, the advantages of the ACBM over a non-automatic basket mill are that the ACBM prevents waste, optimizes capacity, and significantly reduces the operator's workload.
Yes, the ACBM has both an automatic and a manual program. If the manual program is selected, you can rotate the ACBM by pressing the “manually rotate” button.
