How do you size the line for my volume — and can it scale later?

We size the line to your peak-season throughput. Most of our installations run at 3 to 5 ton/hour, and the platform scales to 10 ton/hour with the same designed architecture. The system is modular — if you grow, we expand the wash, brush, and drying modules rather than replacing the line.

Will the line handle different sweet potato varieties — Beauregard, Bellevue, and others?

Yes. Brush hardness, wash water temperature, drying tunnel airflow, and grader settings are all configurable for the variety, soil profile, and surface condition of your harvest. We tune each station during commissioning based on samples from your fields.

What is the actual water consumption of the line?

The closed water cycle reduces consumption by more than 50% compared to traditional wash systems. Actual usage depends on your line capacity, water type, and discharge requirements. We provide a custom water and power consumption sheet for your specific configuration before contract signing.

How long from contract signing to a running line?

Typical timeline: 8 to 12 weeks from signed contract to factory acceptance test, plus installation and commissioning at your facility. Lead time depends on capacity and customization. Because we manufacture in Egypt, there are no import delays — and our team is reachable directly during operation.

What happens with spare parts and service after installation?

Spare parts are manufactured locally in our facility — same team that built your line. We maintain a spare parts inventory in 10th of Ramadan City, and our technicians are reachable directly. No import lead times, no foreign service contracts, no waiting on overseas suppliers.

Line Overview

An Export-Grade Line
for Egypt's Sweet Potato Harvest.

Egypt is one of the world's top sweet potato producers. The processors who win export contracts are the ones with the right line behind them.

The SANAM Sweet Potato Washing Line takes raw tubers straight from the field through five designed stages — receiving and air-bubble washing, brush washing with sanitizer spray, hot-air drying, sorting and grading, then export-ready output. The entire line runs on a closed water cycle that cuts consumption by more than 50% versus a conventional setup.

Our reference installation runs at 5 ton/hour. The same architecture scales up to 10 ton/hour. Every machine in the line is custom-engineered to your factory footprint, your local water quality, and your buyer's spec sheet.

We design it. We fabricate it. We install it. We are reachable when something needs adjusting after year one.

Common Questions

What Buyers Ask Before They Order

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from packhouse owners, exporters, and operations managers evaluating a new line.

What capacity should I install — and can I scale up later?

The line is configured around your peak season throughput. Most installations run 3–5 ton/hour; the platform scales to 10 ton/hour. The architecture is modular, so adding capacity later means extending the wash, brush, and dryer modules — not replacing the line.

Can the line handle different sweet potato varieties and sizes?

Yes. Brush pressure, water flow, dryer temperature, and grader settings are all adjustable to your specific variety. Beauregard, Covington, white-flesh, orange-flesh — the line is calibrated during commissioning to your actual harvest characteristics, then locked into your operator recipes.

How much water does the line actually use?

The closed water cycle reduces consumption by more than 50% versus a conventional once-through wash setup. Actual usage depends on your line capacity, source water quality, and discharge regulations. We provide a water-and-power consumption sheet specific to your configuration before contract.

How long from contract to running line?

A complete sweet potato line typically runs 4–6 months from contract signature to commissioning, depending on capacity, sorting method, and your civil works readiness. We deliver a project schedule before contract so you can plan around your harvest season.

What about spare parts and after-sales service?

Because we manufacture locally in Egypt, spare parts are typically available within 48 hours — no import waits, no customs delays. We maintain a full spare-parts inventory at our 10th of Ramadan facility. After-sales service is 24/7 by phone and on-site within Egypt.

Does the line meet European and Gulf export hygiene standards?

Construction is SS 304 food-grade stainless steel. Sanitizer-spray nozzles are integrated at the brush bed. Surfaces are designed for full washdown between batches. The line is engineered to international hygienic-design principles and supports the documentation your export buyer's audit team will request.
