ABSTRACT:
The introduction of a slow rocking or tilting action that can tilt the growing chambers of a rotary sprouter back so that they become containment vessels for holding water or cleaning solution thereby transforming the rotary sprouter into becoming a front-load type sprout washing machine. The frame supporting the chambers is supported by pivots that enable push/pull actuators to tilt the frame and growing chambers back and forth. The rotation coupled with the slow rocking motion effects agitation of the solution and product inside thus providing for effective washing action for both seed and sprouts. The washing action is place under automatic control to effect washing cycles that can be repeated as frequent and as many times as is necessary for disinfecting the sprouts.
