2012 is set to be a milestone year for Herbert Engineering, as the company celebrates its 40th anniversary. From the company’s early days back in the 1970s, when the company served growers in post-harvest on field grading to, more recently, electronic grading for processors, the ties between Herbert and the potato industry have remained strong and are now the backbone of the business.
Next year will also see a record number of new product launches, the release of new case studies to share the stories of Herbert’s customers’ successes, as well as a number of major installation reports to keep you informed.
Five New Products
2012 is not only the year of the first UK Olympics since 1948, but will also see the launch of five new innovative Herbert products. And, to give you a insight of what is to come, visit our stand 416 at British Potato 2011.

Products to be unveiled include the latest versatile, space saving, hygienic, highly accurate electronic sorter for both fresh and process customers. Environmental factors remain at the top of the agenda, and Herbert’s new generation of washing technology includes pre soaking, as well as energy efficient washing and increased recycling. A key focus for Herbert remains the continual development of post- harvest cleaners for effective soil, clod and stone removal, regardless of weather conditions.
Always eager to push the boundaries of technology, Herbert will be releasing two new cleaners in 2012, which will both be debuted and displayed at January’s LAMMA show. Herbert is also delighted to be enhancing their washing portfolio in 2012 with a new brush polishing range.
