Potato Cleaning Machinery for Soil and Field Material Removal

Potatoes arriving from the field can carry loose soil, clods, stones, and plant material into a handling line. Haith’s potato cleaning machinery helps separate that material from the crop before it reaches the next preparation stage. A cleaning system can be tailored to the incoming potatoes, the material to be removed, and the equipment that follows.

Separating Material from Incoming Potatoes

After potatoes enter through potato receiving machinery or potato tipping equipment, cleaning can remove loose soil and debris carried with the crop. Haith’s potato cleaning options also address clods, stones, and unwanted plant material. The combination needed depends on the condition of the incoming load.

Cleaning Before Destoning and Washing

In a Haith potato wash line, loose soil is separated before the crop enters a destoning stage. Removing that soil early keeps the cleaning task distinct from the dedicated stone removal provided by potato destoning equipment. Where the crop needs further surface preparation, it can then pass to potato washing and drying machinery.

Fitting Cleaning into the Potato Line

Cleaning may also prepare potatoes for inspection and potato grading machinery. The position of the cleaning stage depends on how potatoes enter the line and which material must be removed before those later steps.
