As labour becomes increasingly scarce, a key challenge facing growers is sourcing workers to manually sort the crop as it goes into store or loaded out onto transport to their customers.

Automating the process of sorting the trash and stone accurately from the good tubers has the potential to significantly increase throughput and save growers many of the costs and issues involved with manual picking.

GRIMME and Haith now offer two new optical sorting solutions that do just this, the Haith ProSort being one of them. Optical sorting is not new, and TOMRA is widely acknowledged as a leader in this type of technology.

The advanced TOMRA 3A optical sorter is capable of unrivalled foreign material removal, this highly efficient machine is powerful and robust, easy to use and maintain & reduces storage needs.

However, what is new is how the technology has been incorporated by Haith and GRIMME into a new mobile, modular unit that fits quickly and easily into existing processes.

For example:

Used in conjunction with the GRIMME RH receiving hopper taking potatoes into store
Used alongside the GRIMME Cleanloader ensuring that the potatoes being loaded are precleaned to the highest standard
Used as part of a new or existing Haith grading line to sort and clean the incoming crop
Used exactly when and where the grower or processor needs rapid, accurate cleaning

Up to 100tph capacity

Able to be integrated into new or existing systems

Manufactured to suit individual requirements

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.
