Zhengzhou Launches Cutting-Edge Fruit and Vegetable Washing Line to Elevate Food Safety and Processing Efficiency

April 23, 2025 – Zhengzhou, Henan Province — Zhengzhou Hadof Food Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading innovator in China’s food equipment manufacturing sector, has officially unveiled its newest high-performance fruit and vegetable washing production line. The launch marks a significant step forward for agricultural processing in central China, addressing the growing demand for cleaner, safer, and more efficient handling of fresh produce.

Located in the heart of Henan Province—a major agricultural hub—the company’s advanced production line is designed to process more than 6 tons of fruits and vegetables per hour. Featuring a multi-stage cleaning system that includes bubble agitation, high-pressure spray, and ozone sterilization, the line ensures that contaminants such as dirt, pesticide residues, and bacteria are effectively removed without damaging delicate produce.

“Our goal is to help farmers and suppliers in Henan and across China meet the rising standards for food safety and export requirements,” said Mr. Wang, General Manager of Zhengzhou Hadof. “With this system, we’re not only improving processing speeds but also setting new benchmarks for hygiene and environmental sustainability.”

The system’s intelligent control platform is powered by IoT sensors and machine learning algorithms, allowing automatic adjustments based on the type and volume of produce. Operators can monitor water quality, chemical use, and energy consumption in real time, ensuring optimal performance and minimal environmental impact.

Hadof’s new washing line also includes a water recycling unit that reduces water usage by up to 60%, making it an eco-friendly solution for large-scale operations. These innovations align with China’s broader goals of promoting green agriculture and reducing resource waste in food production.

Local farmers and agricultural cooperatives have welcomed the development. “In the past, cleaning large quantities of vegetables took a lot of manual labor and time,” said Mr. Liu, a vegetable supplier based in Xingyang. “Now, we can handle double the volume in less time, with cleaner and more consistent results. It’s a huge boost for our business.”

The new system is already being adopted by several agricultural bases in Henan, and Zhengzhou Hadof is in discussions with potential clients in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe to export the technology abroad.

As China’s agricultural industry continues to modernize, innovations like the Hadof washing line highlight the critical role of intelligent manufacturing in ensuring food safety, boosting productivity, and supporting rural revitalization. The company is also planning future upgrades that will integrate robotic sorting and automated packaging, aiming to create a full-service solution for post-harvest processing.

With strong local support and a focus on global quality standards, Zhengzhou Hadof is positioning itself as a key player in the next generation of agricultural technology.
