Overview
Pre-cleaning and conveying potatoes for further processing
The water bunker belt is the first machine component (buffer) of further downstream processing procedures. Unpeeled potatoes as well as carrots, smaller celery tubers, smaller sweet potatoes, beetroot and various types of turnips are filled into the water bunker belt with a tank volume of 585 liters (154.5 gal) for gentle pre-cleaning. Adherent soil and stones are removed and the pre-cleaned products are converted further via a cleated belt to be transferred to downstream peeling machines.
The potato peeling machines are filled via a swivelling chute, which automatically switches between the filling and peeling cycles. The user-friendly control of the water bunker belt takes place via a switch cabinet in connection with the potato peeling machines or the entire processing line.
A useful, practical addition to the entire peeling line is a crate tipping device, which can be used to automatically fill the water bunker belt.
Your Benefits
- Saves time during the filling process of the downstream peeling machines
- Gentle pre-cleaning by removing stones and soil
- An efficient solution for the continuous operation of peeling and processing lines without interruption
- Versatile use for several types of tuber vegetables
Highlights
Continuous filling of downstream machines
The water bunker belt fulfills a buffer function: the filling volume of 150 kg (330.7 lb) is processed in 5 to 10 minutes – depending on the capacity of the downstream peeling machines.
Soaking removes impurities
The short soaking process loosens even coarse impurities such as adhering soil and small stones, which then settle at the bottom of the water bunker belt in a collection bucket designed especially for this purpose.
Optimal cleaning and maintenance
The robust stainless steel construction and reliable mechanism make the water bunker belt ideal for long periods of maintenance-free use. The large water drainage opening ensures quick drainage and enables simple, effective cleaning.
