Freestanding SupaFlume Vegetable De-Stoner

Haith designed what was probably the first fluid de-stoner on the market back in 1971.

Being a company that thrives on innovation we are always looking to improve on designs, so in 1998 the revolutionary SupaFlume De-Stoner was introduced to the market.

The SupaFlume is the result of decades of experience with both fluidised bed and cyclone stone separators, it offers high quality separation coupled with a space saving footprint.

The clever design of the SupaFlume sends the crop gently out wide and back into the centre of the machine on exit, this flow is almost impossible for stone and clod to follow and they inevitably sink out and are carried away on the rubber stone discharge belt.

The SupaFlume De-Stoner – Free Standing can have a sludge auger and/or floating debris removal as optional extras.

Advanced features include heavy duty rubber stone discharge belt, energy efficient close coupled pump and external bearings throughout.

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.
