A cost-effective solution designed to consistently grade potatoes according to size then halve any that are larger than the predetermined size.
Operators can easily adjust the grading size at any time during the production process and can also adjust the minimal size before rejecting very small potatoes, as well as foreign objects.
Improve final product quality
Grading and halving potatoes consistently plays an important role in producing final (in bag) product consistency and preventing chips from getting 'stuck' in the former of the bagmaker.
Lower cost of ownership
Reduces the overall cost of operation through easy operation, low maintenance, ease of cleaning, and no water consumption.
Remove food traps
Eliminate spaces where product fragments can collect and where bacteria can grow with hygienic construction.
