Potato Grader/Halver

Grader - Six lanes (seven rollers) of fixed pitch machined scrolls each independently driven by encoder-monitored SEW motor/gear box units, each scroll is synchronised to the next to create a gap variable between approx. 35-70mm in 1mm steps. Undersized potatoes will drop through, oversized will pass over the scrolls and enter the potato halver.

Halver - Oversized potatoes are automatically orientated to travel widest edge first towards one of six halving knifes where they are then cut in half by means of a rotating circular blade.
