Description
🍎 Water pressure fruit cleaner with turbine
This model is designed to facilitate the efficient cleaning of fruits and vegetables using a water pressure system combined with an internal turbine, which generates a dynamic flow capable of removing dirt, pesticide residues, and adhered particles without damaging the food
The design takes advantage of the hydraulic rotation effect: when pressurized water is introduced, the integrated turbine creates a constant circular motion that improves the friction of the water on the fruit's surface, achieving more uniform cleaning in less time compared to traditional methods
⚙️ Technical specifications
- Passive turbine system (no electronics)
- Works only with domestic water pressure
- Optimized for standard faucet connection
- Internal flow designed to generate vortex movement
Suitable for:
- Delicate fruits (strawberries, grapes)
- Hard-skinned fruits (apples, pears)
- Vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, etc)
🧩 Design and 3D Printing
- Designed for FDM printing
- Compatible with 0.4 mm nozzle
- Recommended layer height: 0.2 mm
Recommended material: PLA or PETG
- PETG recommended if used frequently with water
Recommended settings:
- Infill: 15–25%
- Supports: NOT necessary (optimized design)
- Adhesion: brim optional for greater stability
- Tight tolerances for assembly without post-processing
🔧 Assembly
The model consists of several parts that snap together:
- Main body
- Internal turbine
- Top lid or closure
- Water inlet adapter (depending on version)
The turbine rotates freely with the water flow, without the need for bearings or additional components
🚿 Usage
- Connect to faucet
- Place fruits in the container
- Turn on the water
- Allow to act for 30–90 seconds
The system will generate a continuous rotary movement that cleans homogeneously
