Maxi Pea Viner Machine | Pea Splitter

The product is introduced into the feed hopper via an elevator and is then fed into the barrel by a short screw conveyor. The 2400mm long barrel is fitted with longitudinal beater bars which also act as supports for the separator screens. The screens are hard plastic coated wire mesh. A rotary brush runs on the outside of the barrel to prevent haulm build up on the screens

The central rotor has angled beater blades which propel the product against the longitudinal bars thus splitting the pods. The angle of the blades imparts forward movement to the haulm eventually discharging it from the end of the barrel.

Separated peas and small waste fall through the screens on to a cleaning apron whose operating angle is adjustable and should be adjusted to achieve minimum crop carry over.

The drive drum of the apron is triangular thus creating agitation in the belt which causes the peas to roll down hill onto a cross conveyor whilst the waste travels on with the belt and is discharged.

Variable speed motors are fitted to the barrel and rotor whilst the apron is fixed speed.

Variation of the speed is essential to cope with tender early and subsequently more mature peas.

By varying the barrel and rotor speeds it is possible to achieve maximum throughput with optimum separation and minimum damage.

Our story began when Geoff Haith, at just 18 years old, started carrying out repairs for local farmers. Through this work, he recognised a need for more efficient, mechanised solutions for washing and grading root vegetables. Combining his engineering expertise with a strong farming background, Geoff went on to design and manufacture innovative machinery for handling carrots, potatoes, and beetroot.

Until recently, the business was led by Geoff’s five sons and daughter, supported by a talented and forward-thinking management team dedicated to ensuring the company’s continued success. Today, Haith employs over 120 people at our UK factory and works with a network of agents worldwide, promoting the Haith brand globally and delivering high-quality installations and satisfied customers across the world.

Over the years, Haith has continued to grow in both size and capability, relocating three times to accommodate expanding operations. This growth has culminated in our current ultra-modern, wholly owned facility in South Yorkshire, featuring approximately 6,000 m² of production space on a six-acre site. The factory is equipped with the latest CNC laser, waterjet, and bending technology, enabling us to maintain the highest standards of precision and quality.

Haith has received numerous awards for machine design and innovation. We are especially proud to have been honoured twice with the UK’s highest business accolade, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, both in the Innovation category. As the only company in our field to hold this prestigious award, our commitment to continuous innovation and development—helping to keep the UK vegetable industry at the forefront of technology—has been clearly recognised.
