Line Overview

An IQF Washing Line
for Egypt's Frozen Strawberry Export.

Egypt is the world's #1 frozen strawberry exporter. The processors who win export contracts are the ones with the right IQF line behind them.

The SANAM IQF Strawberry Washing Line takes raw berries straight from the field through six designed stages — receiving and initial wash, dual washing (air-bubble + spray) with closed water cycle, manual sorting and inspection, air drying, IQF freezing tunnel, and grading and packing into three commercial export sizes. Egypt ships 20% of the world's frozen strawberry supply — 140,000 tons annually — and this line is the kind that wins those contracts.

Capacity scales up to 5 ton/hour. Every machine in the line is custom-designed to your factory footprint, your local water quality, your buyer's spec sheet, and the strawberry varieties you grow.

We design it. We fabricate it. We install it. We are reachable when something needs adjusting after year one.

  • 6 designed stages — receiving, washing, sorting, drying, IQF freezing, grading
  • Capacity scaling up to 5 ton/hour of frozen strawberry output
  • Closed water cycle — over 50% reduction vs. conventional washing setups
  • Stainless steel SS 304 food-grade construction with FDA and EU compliance
  • 3 commercial export grades: under 25mm, 25–35mm, over 35mm
  • 24/7 local after-sales service — no import delays, no waiting

This Line Is For

  • Egyptian frozen-strawberry exporters scaling production for Europe, Gulf, and Asia
  • Fresh-produce packhouses adding IQF strawberry to their export portfolio
  • Investors entering Egypt's frozen-fruit export value chain
  • Existing processors upgrading from manual or semi-manual operations

Common Questions

What Buyers Ask Before They Order

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from packhouse owners, exporters, and operations managers evaluating a new line.

Will the line handle different strawberry varieties — Festival, Sweet Charlie, others?
Yes. Festival is Egypt's commercial export standard, but the line is configured during commissioning to handle whatever variety your farms supply. Air-bubble pressure, sorting belt speed, drying tunnel airflow, and grader settings are all tunable to the variety, ripeness window, and surface condition of each batch. Switching between varieties is part of normal operation.
Will the line damage delicate strawberries during processing?
No. Strawberries are one of the most fragile fruits we handle, and gentle treatment is designed into every stage. The air-bubble wash agitates water, not the berries. Conveyors run at speeds calibrated for soft fruit. Drop heights are minimized. The 4-meter manual sorting belt lets trained inspectors handle each berry directly. Customers tell us they see noticeably less bruising and pulp loss compared to harsher imported lines.
What is the actual water consumption of the line?
The closed water cycle reduces consumption by more than 50% versus traditional wash systems. Actual usage depends on your line capacity (2, 3, or 5 ton/hour), incoming water quality, and discharge requirements. We provide a custom water and power consumption sheet for your specific configuration before contract signing.
How are the three size grades determined and can I customize them?
The standard grades follow international IQF strawberry export specs: under 25mm, 25–35mm, and over 35mm. These match the size buckets used by EU and GCC import buyers. The grader can be reconfigured to your buyer's specific contract — for example, if your buyer in Japan wants 4 grades or different cut-points — by changing the screen sizes during commissioning.
Does the line meet hygiene standards for export to Europe and the Gulf?
All construction is SS 304 food-grade stainless steel with FDA and EU food-contact compliance. The line is designed around HACCP and GMP principles — sanitary design, full wash-down between batches, integrated CIP loops, and metals detection at packing. The documentation set we provide supports your buyer's audit team for ISO 22000, BRCGS, and similar export certifications.
