Date Washing & Drying Line – Smartpack

A fully integrated industrial system for producing clean, sanitized dates before processing

In modern date-processing industries, the washing and drying stage is the cornerstone for ensuring the final product quality and minimizing waste before entering stages such as packaging or advanced processing.
For this reason, the Smartpack Date Washing & Drying Line is engineered as a complete industrial solution that washes the dates, removes dust and impurities, sanitizes them, and dries them evenly—ensuring they exit clean, safe, and ready for any subsequent application. Smartpack

This line can be easily connected to the complete date-processing system inside the factory, starting from the Date Sorting Conveyor that transports the fruits, passing through the Date Washing & Cleaning Machine for initial washing, and ending with packaging and filling stages. Smartpack

General Description

The Date Washing & Drying Line is a robust industrial system made up of several interconnected stages that work in perfect harmony to:

✔ Remove dust, impurities, and sticks
✔ Perform balanced cold or hot-water washing
✔ Provide primary and professional drying
✔ Apply sanitization that increases shelf-life and safety
✔ Achieve production rates of up to ~3.5 tons/day depending on settings and date type

⚙️ Detailed Technical Specifications (with internal backlinks)

1) Materials & Construction

• Main Material: High-grade 304 Food Grade stainless steel, fully rust-resistant (Smartpack)

• Support Structure: Strong steel frame designed for continuous industrial operation (Smartpack)

• Digital Control Panel: Easy-to-use interface for adjusting temperature and conveyor speed (Smartpack)

This line can be integrated with the Date Washing & Cleaning Machine to ensure dates are completely free of contaminants before entering the drying stage. (Smartpack)

2) Comprehensive Washing System

The line includes multiple coordinated stages such as an elevating conveyor, water-spraying unit, and vibration section for removing dirt—making the washing process highly effective and stable. (Smartpack)

This also prepares the dates for more precise downstream operations such as date sorting or date pitting within the full production line. (Smartpack)

3) Drying & Sanitization

After washing, dates pass through high-airflow drying units to remove moisture, followed by a thermal sanitization system that eliminates microbes and contaminants—providing a higher level of food safety. (Smartpack)
