Bean sprout production is a water-intensive enterprise. In addition to needing water for growth, sprouts require frequent rinsing to regulate mass temperature and to clear away harmful byproducts. On average, it takes 11.4 gallons of water to grow 1 lb. of top quality bean sprouts. A typical Sentrex Infinity Bean Sprout Growing Room producing 60,000 lbs. of sprouts requires 662,400 gallons of water from pre-sprout to harvest for a total water cost of approximately $3,974. But with ISS water recycling equipment, the cost of water per growing room can be reduced to $397 or less. As a leader in sprout hydroponics, ISS has perfected a system capable of recycling large amounts of irrigation water. The ISS Encore Water Reclamation System recovers water, while your growing crops raise the temperature of the circulated water, reducing the amount of energy required to heat the incoming water. Consequently, Encore not only drastically reduces your water and sewer bill, but also reduces the amount of energy necessary for heating your incoming water supply. Contact Us
Pack Off Tables
ISS Pack Off Tables speed up the process of packaging sprouts in 4 – 20 lb. (2 – 10 kg.) plastic bags. Featuring either one or two shoots, Pack Off Tables receive sprouts from a wash tank, shaker table, air knife or centrifuge, dramatically reducing your operation’s manual packaging requirements. All ISS Pack Off Tables are made of stainless steel. At the bottom of each shoot, there is a scale as well as a solenoid to hold the plastic bag firmly in place. The scales are designed to notify the operator once the desired volume of sprouts have been fed into the bag, based on custom packing specifications. On average, the use of an ISS Pack Off Table shaves at least 50% off the amount of time it would take to pack sprouts by hand.Contact Us

The ISS Bean Sprout Wash System is a highly refined piece of equipment that improves sprout sanitation and safety while minimizing cleanup and maintenance requirements. The ISS wash system carries sprouts through a stainless steel tank and into “cleaning fingers”, where they are cleaned, hulled and de-rooted. Sprouts are then conveyed to your air knife, centrifuge bucket, packing table or packaging machine. The ISS control panel is capable of operating in either manual or automatic mode. The automatic mode provides maximum separation without physical damage to the final product. In manual mode, the controls allow you to increase the pace to meet tight production schedules. The control panel (which can be conveniently placed beside a key worker on the production line) controls all electrical components, including rinse water on the exit conveyor. The system is intentionally designed for easy cleaning and sanitation. With plenty of room underneath, the clear acrylic conveyor covers and gear covers are easily removable for cleaning. The entire system, including the control panel and motors, is wash-down. Additionally, no belts, motors, gears or electrical parts are exposed to the product. A three-inch (7.6cm) drain with ball valve allows quick drainage without clogging and the adjustable entrance spray bar is equipped with an easily removable end plug for cleaning. In the unlikely event that a worker falls into or gets caught in the system, all mechanical parts have idler arms that automatically adjust belts and allow for slippage under extreme pressure. The amount of pressure is adjustable by the operator. There is an emergency cord around three sides that can be reached from all four sides. When the cord is pulled, all systems shut down. The gears and motors are protected with safety shields that are unobtrusive and allow the tank to be accessed from either side. No motors or electrical parts are located over the tank or the water. ISS manufactures wash systems in a variety of sizes, but the features and specifications of our most popular size include:Contact Us- Capacity: 24 tons / day
- Dimensions: 6 ft. (182.8 cm) high x 15 ft. (457.2 cm) long x 2 ft. 11 1/2 in. (90.2 cm) wide
