Onion Cleaning Machinery for Soil and Loose Skin Removal

Onions can arrive with soil, loose skins, and other field material mixed into the crop flow. Haith’s onion cleaning machinery separates unwanted material before inspection and grading. Soil separation and dry brushing can be tailored to the condition of the incoming onions and the preparation needed later in the line.

Removing Soil and Loose Skins Before Inspection

In a Haith onion line, onions pass from the intake hopper through a cleaning stage that removes soil and loose skins before inspection. Dry brushing can also remove surface soil and loose skins. The amount and type of material arriving with the crop determine how these cleaning steps are used.

Separating Stones and Clods

Harvested onions may also arrive with stones and clods. Haith’s onion cleaning options include equipment that separates this heavier field material from the crop flow. Assessing the incoming load helps determine whether the line needs soil separation, stone and clod removal, dry brushing, or a combination of these tasks.

Connecting Cleaning with the Onion Line

Onion receiving machinery feeds the crop into the line. After cleaning, onions can move through inspection and onion grading machinery for sorting and sizing. Explore Haith’s onion machinery range for other handling stages, or its vegetable cleaning machinery for applications across other crops.
