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.
