Fruit & Vegetable Industry

Newsmith designs and manufactures industrial washing machines and automated handling equipment for the fruit and vegetable processing industry, helping fresh produce businesses clean reusable containers, maintain production hygiene and manage efficient handling operations.

Our equipment range includes Crate Washers, Basket Washers, Tote Washers and Utensil Washers, alongside Conveyors and Basket Feed Conveyors for suitable material-handling applications.

Fruit and vegetable processing facilities face cleaning challenges associated with soil, plant debris, organic residues, juice deposits and contamination from repeated container use. Effective cleaning of reusable crates, baskets, totes and production utensils forms an important part of established hygiene procedures across fresh produce packing, processing and distribution operations.

With more than 50 years of manufacturing experience, Newsmith works with fruit and vegetable processors to develop industrial washing and handling solutions suited to their container dimensions, cleaning requirements, production volumes and factory layouts.
