Fresh Potato Process Line Stages

 

 

 

 

 

• Material Infeed
Potato Reception and Distribution:
Our process begins with the efficient handling of incoming potato shipments. A specialized tipping mechanism carefully unloads boxes of potatoes onto a receiving hopper. This hopper acts as a buffer, collecting the potatoes and ensuring a steady flow to the subsequent processing stages. The system is designed to distribute the potatoes evenly, preventing bottlenecks and optimizing production efficiency. Operators can easily control the rate at which potatoes are fed into the line, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted process. This robust and reliable infeed system accommodates various potato varieties and quantities, providing a seamless start to the processing journey.

• De-stoning
Removing Contaminants from Potatoes
To ensure the highest quality and safety of our potato products, we employ a sophisticated destoning machine. This equipment effectively removes stones, dirt, twigs, and other foreign matter that may be present in the potatoes prior to the washing process. By eliminating these contaminants, we safeguard the integrity of the product and prevent potential damage to downstream machinery. This essential step is crucial for producing clean and wholesome potatoes that meet the highest standards of excellence.

• Drying
Removing Excess Moisture:
Our potato drying machine utilizes a series of sponge-like rollers to effectively remove excess moisture from the potatoes. As the potatoes pass through the machine, the rollers absorb water, ensuring a dry and finished product. This drying stage is crucial for preparing potatoes for packaging and storage, preventing spoilage and maintaining optimal quality.
Key features of our potato drying machine include:
• Efficient Drying: The sponge-like rollers effectively absorb water from the potato surface. • Gentle Handling: The rollers gently rotate to ensure even drying without damaging the potatoes.

• Sorting
A Final Quality Check
Our belt inspection conveyor is specifically designed for the manual sorting of potatoes. This conveyor system provides a clear and well-lit workspace for operators to carefully inspect each potato, ensuring only the highest quality products are selected.
Key features of our belt inspection conveyor include:
• Visibility: The blue PVC belt provides excellent contrast against the potatoes, making it easy to identify defects or imperfections.
• Lighting: The conveyor is equipped with fluorescent or LED lighting to ensure optimal visibility during inspection.
• Efficiency: The belt conveyor efficiently moves the potatoes along for a thorough and timely inspection.

By incorporating a manual sorting stage using our belt inspection conveyor, you can maintain strict quality control and deliver only the finest potatoes to your customers.

• Grading
There are 2 types of grading:
Our potato grading system offers two effective methods for sorting potatoes based on size: shake grading and radial grading.

Shake Grading:
• Precision Sizing: The shake grader accurately sorts potatoes by their square size in four dimensions, ensuring precise classification.
• Multi-Level Sieves: The machine features multiple levels of sieves with progressively smaller openings, allowing potatoes to fall through based on their size.
• Vibration-Based Sorting: The sieves are agitated using motors, causing the potatoes to shake and move through the appropriate openings.

Radial Grading:
• Diameter-Based Sorting: The radial grader sorts potatoes based on their diameter.
• Adjustable Grading: The gap between the stainless-steel rollers can be adjusted to achieve the desired grading sizes.
• Efficient Sorting: Potatoes are fed onto the rollers and fall through the gaps based on their size, allowing for efficient separation.

By incorporating either or both of these grading methods into your processing line, you can accurately sort potatoes into different size categories, meeting the specific needs of your target market.

• Packing
Preparing Potatoes for Market:
The final stage of our potato processing line involves packaging the products for distribution. We offer two packaging options to suit your needs:

Retail Packaging:
• Net Bagging: Our net bagging machine is ideal for packaging smaller to medium-sized potatoes in branded net bags. This attractive packaging option is perfect for retail sale, enticing consumers at the supermarket.
• Weight Consistency: The potatoes are weighed automatically before being placed in the net bags, ensuring each bag has a consistent weight and uniform potato size.

Bulk Packaging:
• Box and Bag Filling: For larger quantities of potatoes, we offer box and bag filling machines. These machines carefully pack potatoes layer by layer into boxes or bags without damaging them.
• Strategic Placement: The machines are strategically located along the processing line to ensure that potatoes of the same size are packed together.

By choosing the appropriate packaging method, you can effectively prepare your potatoes for distribution and maximize their appeal to customers.
