THE CROSS GAZELLE BEET WASHER

The Cross Gazelle Beet Washer was first designed and manufactured under licence for Armer Salmon who sold in to beet growers throughout Europe. In the 1980s,1990s & early 2000s all beet machinery made by Cross held the Armer Salmon name. Today Cross keep the beet machinery in full production and continue to develop on machines which were there from the beginning  with Armer Salmon like the Gazelle Beet Washer.  This machine uses a combination of patented cleaning and chopping elements to ensure that you can deliver a quality clean sample of beet for any application. The Gazelle can be used for the dirtiest of beet crops to ensure clean and safe feed. This washer allows the beet to be loaded directly into the Tumbler by means of a small intake hopper and can be washed at various intensities depending on the operators desired cleanliness. After the washing tumbler the Beet exits directly into the feed chopper. The farmer can drive along the trough and feed directly to animals if they wish to do so. A slide off tray can also be fitted to the machine if you wish to wash whole beet and not chop. The machine can also be used to wash any other type of root vegetable including carrots, potatoes, parsnips etc.

Pre-Clean

The load hopper on this machine will allow some of the dirt to fall off the beet as you load the machine. Not as effective as the web loaded hoppers but sill allows heavy clay and dirt to fall through the grate on the hopper. 

​

Wash

The wash cylinder tumble cleans the beet while semi-submerged in water. The clay and soil washed off the beet falls through the tumbler and is dropped into the base of the machine. This mud is taken out of the machine with an auger when emptying the water.

Chop

Every Beet Washer in the CROSS range can be fitted with a chopper. While chopping the chop size can be varied hydraulically. This chopper can be hydraulically folded out of the way when not needed in order to wash whole beet.

Gazelle Overview

Before & After

What a difference a wash makes

Cross Hippo 1 Beet Washers are guaranteed to remove all the soil and dirt from Beet or any root crop in order to provide a clean sample for animal feed, anaerobic digestion or sugar production. All Cross Washers can also wash vegetables for human consumption due to the vary speed controls. It is estimated that even the cleanest crop of beet to the visual eye still contains at least 5% dirt before washing. It has been proven that washing with a Cross Beet Washer can clean any root crop and separate the dirt no matter how clean it appears. 

Web Selection

The Cross Range of stationary washers are fitted with Broekema Webs of your choice. A 50mm web can be fitted for larger crops such as beet or juice carrots. Smaller 30mm webs can be fitted then for potatoes or small root crops. This works well to stop crops falling through while ensuring cleaning still occurs. Custom Webs can be fitted at early request when ordering a machine. 

Chop Size

Variable in size 

Cross Beet Washer Choppers all come with a variable chop size option. This allows the operator to select the desired chop size while the machine is in operation with the simple pull of a lever. 
The chopper is not only adjustable but can also be folded out of the way when whole beet is required. This can be carried out with out the need for any machine stoppage. A lever will allow the operator to fold the chopper up when the machine is in operation.
