Stainless Steel Oyster Brush Washing Machine For Shellfish Clean

The oyster brush washing machine uses a nylon brush and a spray system to work together. The friction of the rotating brush roller removes the sand and attached bacteria on the shell surface, and then the high-pressure spray thoroughly rinses it to provide clean shellfish for subsequent processing or direct sales.

It is mainly composed of a motor, a transmission device, a brush roller assembly and a spray pipeline. The brush roller material can be selected from soft brushes, hard brushes or abrasive brushes to adapt to different shellfish and dirt levels.

Global Shellfish Origin and Cleaning Challenges

Global Shellfish Production Pattern

In 2022, global aquaculture production exceeded wild fishing for the first time, with a total aquaculture volume of 94,400,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.1%, of which shellfish (oysters, clams, mussels, scallops) accounted for an important share.
Asia contributes more than 90% of the total aquaculture volume, especially China, which ranks first in the world in oyster and mussel farming.

In terms of shellfish farming alone, the annual output exceeds 11.5 million tons, with oysters and clams accounting for about 4 million tons each, and mussels and scallops producing about 1.5 million tons each.

Common cleaning problems

Complex surface structure: The shells are uneven and easy to hide mud and microorganisms;

Low manual cleaning efficiency: Traditional manual scrubbing is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and uneven, making it difficult to meet large-scale production needs;

Strict hygiene and safety requirements: It must comply with HACCP and shellfish hygiene regulations of various countries. Inadequate cleaning can easily lead to microbial residues and cross-contamination;

Serious waste of water resources: High-pressure washing alone consumes a lot of water and is difficult to recycle, increasing production costs and environmental pressures.

Against the backdrop of rising global demand for efficient, safe and sustainable shellfish cleaning, the fully automatic brush oyster washing machine, with its unique design combining nylon brushes with high-pressure spray, can efficiently remove stubborn mud and microbial dirt from the surface of shellfish such as oysters, clams and scallops; at the same time, with marine aquaculture production exceeding wild catch for the first time (aquaculture volume reached 94.4 million tons in 2022, accounting for 50.5%) and Asian aquaculture contributing more than 90%, traditional manual cleaning methods have been unable to meet the dual requirements of production capacity and food safety; our Brush Type oyster cleaning machine helps customers significantly reduce labor costs, improve cleaning consistency and ensure compliance with international food safety standards through customizable brush roller hardness, circulating water-saving system and simple operation interface.

SUS304 food-grade stainless steel body: durable and corrosion-resistant, meets food safety standards, easy to clean and disinfect;

Modular design, easy to operate: one-button start, frequency conversion speed regulation, one person can complete operation and daily maintenance;

Customizable nylon brush roller: brush roller hardness (soft/medium/hard brush) and length can be flexibly configured according to material attachment conditions;

High-pressure spray and circulating water system: unique nozzle angle adjustable design, efficient cleaning while reducing water consumption, and equipped with automatic water replenishment and filtration reuse functions;

Reduce operating costs: significantly reduce labor costs and water consumption, shorten cleaning cycles, and speed up production;

Improve market competitiveness: clean and tidy shellfish appearance increases product added value and helps open up high-end markets;

Ensure food safety and quality: comply with international shellfish hygiene standards, reduce microbial residues and cross-contamination risks;

Environmental protection and sustainability: recycled water and low-energy consumption design are in line with green production trends and reduce carbon footprints.

Manpower saving: Instead of heavy manual scrubbing, 200-3000 kg of shellfish can be processed per hour, and production efficiency is increased by 3-5 times;

Multi-scenario application: Not only limited to oysters, but also can clean hard-shell seafood such as clams, scallops, sea cucumbers, and some root vegetables.

High efficiency and consistency: The brush roller friction combined with spraying can achieve a cleaning rate of more than 95%, completely removing attachments;

Energy saving and consumption reduction: 1.1 kW-4 kW motor with frequency conversion control reduces energy consumption; the circulating water design reduces water use by more than 50%;

In a trial at a large seafood processing plant, the unit’s single-line processing capacity reached 800 كجم/ساعة, the cleaning rate remained stable at more than 96%, and the employee operation time was reduced by 70%;

After being used by many export companies, the export qualification rate of their products increased from 85% ل 98% due to improved cleanliness and consistency;

Our Stainless Steel Oyster Brush Washing Machine For Shellfish Clean, with an innovative process combining fully automatic brush roller cleaning with high-pressure spraying, completely solves the problem of cleaning mud and microorganisms on the surface of shellfish, making your production line more efficient, safer and more environmentally friendly.
