Turf Washer

The Turf Washer is an example of the bespoke nature of the Tong Peal washing range.

The Turf Washer is a heavy duty 1500mm wide Spray Washer mounted in a common tank with wheels, drawbar and levelling jacks.
The Washer has a flat bed infeed section with a twin ram hydraulic infeed cradle, manually operated to feed the roll of turf onto a fixed cradle over a Web.
The roll then enters the washing compartment.
This section is 4.8 metre long with a Top and Bottom Web with side guides to feed the turf through the Washer.
The Top Web is lowered onto the turf to stop lifting and give an even feed and wash.
Over this section is a full canopy.
The turf passes out of the washing area into a Clean Rinse Section and then onto a Web with a squeeze roller to remove excess water.
To the end of the Web is a roll up Conveyor with a sensor for rolling the turf.
When the turf has been rolled, it is ejected onto a stand at the end of the Washer.
All the Webs are electronically controlled, variable speed, the Conveyor is manual/auto.
A roller is fitted to the infeed for removing the net from rolls.
A knife cutting device is fitted to the infeed to cut the rolls to length.
A Scraper Chain is fitted under the Webs for cleaning out solids and runs continuously when washing and runs on for one hour when the Washer is shut down.
Solids are scraped into a Skip.
Two pumps are fitted to the side of the Washer with filter tanks.
Water in pumped to spray bars under the Bottom Web.
A cleaning door is fitted to both sides of the tank and a knife valve is fitted to the end of the tank.
The machine is fitted with its own 3 phase electrical control panel and hydraulic power pack.
