A vegetable washing basket is the first stage in professional vegetable preparation, separating grit and soil from produce before peeling or chopping. The basket holds the vegetables while water flows through, carrying away dirt without bruising delicate leaves or roots. This method avoids manual scrubbing and lets the operator rinse entire batches at once, cutting the time spent on each delivery.
The operator loads the vegetables into the basket, then lowers it into a sink or wash tank. A tap or hose runs water through the basket, flushing soil and debris down the drain. Once the water runs clear, the basket lifts out, draining the vegetables ready for the next step. The basket itself never touches the sink bottom, so grit does not settle back onto the produce.
The FIMAR CCV vegetable washing basket is built from PPN-PPF, a food-safe plastic that resists cracking and warping under repeated use. The material does not absorb moisture or odours, so it stays clean between services and does not taint the vegetables. The construction is light enough to lift when full, yet strong enough to hold root vegetables and leafy greens without sagging.
Cleaning follows from the material: a rinse under running water removes any remaining soil, and the basket dries quickly without trapping moisture. No detergents are needed, as the plastic surface does not harbour bacteria. The basket stores flat or nested when not in use, taking minimal space in a busy kitchen.
The CCV fits standard commercial sinks and wash tanks sized for PPN-PPF 10-18 baskets, matching the dimensions used across professional vegetable prep stations.
