Working Principle
Bulk Potato Receiving
Potatoes are unloaded into the receiving hopper from transport vehicles, storage containers, or other feeding systems.
Temporary Buffering
The hopper provides temporary storage capacity to balance the difference between unloading speed and downstream processing speed.
Soil Removal and Transfer
Potatoes pass through the de-stoning rubber roller system, where attached soil and small stones are separated during movement.
Controlled Feeding
The conveyor system transfers potatoes at a controlled speed, supplying a stable material flow to the next processing stage.
