Vegetable Screen Bit Remover

Our Screen Bit Remover continuously removes broken fragments of crop and debris from the produce flow.

Produce, such as carrots and potatoes are transferred onto a traveling screen with a set size aperture. As the screen is conveyed forward, two full-width agitators gently move the crop causing any bits and debris to drop on to a waste conveyor below where the produce is taken over the end. The screen and agitator speeds are variably controlled individually to suit the various crop conditions.

Each individual roller can be removed without taking the screen off, this makes the machine very easy to maintain and keeps down time to a minimum.

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.
