Potato Conveyors and Elevators for Handling Lines

Potato conveyors and elevators connect the points where potatoes enter a handling line, undergo preparation and move toward their next destination. Early transfers may involve potatoes carrying soil and field material; later connections may carry prepared or graded crop. Haith configures the route around those changing conditions and the position of each machine.

Moving Potatoes from Intake into Preparation

Potatoes entering through potato receiving machinery can move toward potato cleaning equipment or potato destoning equipment, according to the field material arriving with the crop. Conveyors and elevators provide the transfers into and out of these stages while accommodating their infeed heights and the amount of crop moving through the line.

Connecting Washing and Grading

Where potatoes continue into washing and drying machinery, the conveying route connects that equipment with the preceding preparation and the stages that follow. Potato grading machinery may then separate the crop into outputs requiring different onward routes. The layout needs to account for the destination of each output as well as the feed into the grader.

Fitting the Route Around the Potato Line

The location of intake, changes in elevation and positions of existing machines determine where potatoes must be transferred. Haith can plan those connections within a new installation or adapt them to machinery already operating on site.
