Wastewater and residue treatment for the fruit and vegetable processing industry

Reduce disposal costs
Separate solids and contaminants
Separate coarse and fine grit
Reduce organic matter
Dewater sludge

We offer well-proven and customised solutions for the specific wastewater problems in fruit and vegetable processing. Whether you need individual machines or process solutions, we are your competent partner for your wastewater treatment plant equipment needs.

High solid loads, coarse materials and considerable amounts of grit are characteristic of wastewater from fruit and vegetable processing. Depending on the production, high COD loads and other dissolved pollutants also occur. We have safe and proven solutions to significantly reduce the pollution loads on site. In this way, even strict limit values are complied with and the treated wastewater can usually be discharged into the public sewer system without incurring heavy pollution charges, or even be reused for pre-washing.

HUBER Micro Strainer ROTAMAT® Ro9 and Long Grit Trap Ro6 for mechanical pre-treatment of vegetable wash water.

Mechanical pre-treatment of vegetable wash water: The HUBER Micro Strainer ROTAMAT® Ro9 removes solids and the grit is separated in the subsequent HUBER Long Grit Trap Ro6.

HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation HDF for the treatment of pre-purified wastewater from a fruit processing plant.

HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® for excess sludge dewatering of a fruit processing plant.

HUBER Complete Plant ROTAMAT® Ro5 for mechanical pre-treatment of vegetable wash water: screening and grit separation in one plant.

HUBER Rotary Drum Screen ROTAMAT® RPPS for mechanical wastewater treatment of a vegetable processing plant.

HUBER products and solutions for your requirement

Our well-proven HUBER ROTAMAT® screens or our HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® remove coarse solids from the production process (solids and impurities).

The typically high amounts of sand and soil are separated by the HUBER Longitudinal Grit Trap ROTAMAT® Ro6. For separation of fine and ultrafine grit we use the HUBER Grit Trap GritWolf®.

For the removal of colloidal substances and organic matter (COD), HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plants are available. The clear effluent can be discharged to the sewer or reused.

The resulting residuals are thickened with HUBER machines, thus saving transport and disposal costs. The treated sludge can optionally be further processed in biogas plants.

Maximum volume reduction and thus low transport and disposal costs can be achieved if dewatering systems are used, such as the HUBER Screw Presses.

The numerous projects we have successfully executed in the fruit and vegetable processing industry combined with our many years of experience in wastewater treatment guarantee the reliable and efficient operation of your wastewater and/or residue treatment system!
