Washing and Treatment Systems –

Wrightfield supplies a comprehensive range of Turatti washing solutions, covering both delicate and robust products. Gentle systems using spraying, nebulisation, or air-assisted washing are ideal for baby leaves, mushrooms, strawberries, and other fruit and vegetables where immersion is not suitable, delivering uniform cleaning with reduced water use.

For heavier products such as potatoes, carrots and celeriac, drum washing systems effectively remove earth and sand, with adjustable drum speed and water levels to ensure thorough yet controlled washing. Systems are available in multiple sizes to suit different capacities and production requirements.

Destoning Equipment –

Wrightfield now offer the Turatti range of advanced destoning solutions across the UK and Ireland, designed to protect downstream equipment and ensure clean, high-quality raw product. Engineered for root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and beets, Turatti destoners effectively remove stones, rocks and heavy debris at the earliest stage of processing.

Removing these contaminants at the earliest stage is essential to protect machinery, reduce wear, and ensure a smooth, uninterrupted processing flow.

These products are designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance requirements and provides an integrated pre-wash effect to begin cleaning at the earliest stage.

Peeling –

Wrightfield supplies a versatile range of Turatti peeling solutions designed to deliver high yield while preserving product quality.

Systems are available for potatoes, carrots, onions, celeriac, red turnips, tomatoes and fruit, with options for continuous or batch operation.

The range includes abrasion and steam-assisted peeling, high-capacity vertical peelers, and specialist solutions for challenging products such as mango and onions.

Adjustable peeling depth, multiple capacities and smooth, uniform finishes ensure each system is matched precisely to product type and throughput requirements.

Preparation and Trimming Tables –

Ergonomic preparation solutions suitable for leafy salads, root vegetables, prepared fruit, and mixed vegetable lines, these tables provide an efficient environment for removing defects and final product preparation.

Available with belt-fed or box-fed product supply, the systems integrate easily into new or existing processing lines, supporting flexible layouts and throughput. Integrated waste handling helps separate usable product from trim waste, maintaining a clean and organised workspace.

By improving operator comfort and workflow, preparation tables enhance consistency, reduce fatigue, and increase productivity, while providing a key quality control point before further processing stages such as cutting, mixing, or packaging.

Cutting –

a versatile range of cutting solutions for fruit, vegetables, salads and prepared products. From hand-fed segmenting systems for citrus, apples and onions to precision wedge cutting for celeriac and specialist spiral cutting for vegetables such as carrots, courgettes and cucumbers, the range delivers consistent results across varied product sizes.

Conveyor-fed cutters with interchangeable cutting heads support high-throughput salad and leaf processing, while specialist solutions handle cooked or delicate products with controlled water transport, ensuring clean cuts and reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Blending –

Designed to deliver uniform, controlled mixing, these systems handle fresh, frozen or cooked ingredients including vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, rice and seafood for ready-meal production.

Available in multiple capacities and configurations, they preserve product integrity and finished quality while integrating easily with automatic dosing and weighing systems.

Top and Tail Cutting –

Designed for seamless inline processing, top and tail cutting systems automatically remove the head and tail of oblong vegetables such as carrots, aubergines, courgettes and similar products. By eliminating manual trimming, these systems deliver consistent, high-speed preparation while maintaining product integrity.

Optional transverse cutting allows products to be portioned into uniform segments, making them ideal for further processing into ready meals, fresh-cut packs, or foodservice applications. The ability to achieve precise, repeatable cuts ensures consistent sizing, improving both presentation and downstream processing efficiency.

Drying and Dewatering Systems –

Offering a range of Turatti centrifugal drying solutions designed to efficiently remove surface water from fresh fruit and vegetables after washing, while protecting even the most delicate products.

From compact, low-capacity and laboratory units to high-performance centrifuges with automated basket filling, these systems deliver uniform drying with adjustable speed and cycle times. Ideal as a standalone solution or as an alternative or complement to drying tunnels, they provide gentle, effective moisture removal across a wide range of applications.

This is just a small selection of available solutions. You can view the wider Turatti range at Turatti, and the Wrightfield team will be happy to guide you to the right equipment for your specific requirements.
