Advancing Together Diameter Sizer The Diameter Sizer grades product by diameter, or removes dirt, rocks, and other undesirable materials. Common Product Applications • Beets The bed of the diameter sizer consists of a series of sizing rollers.

The “fingers” from each sizing roller mesh with those of the adjacent rollers, creating a hole at each mesh point where targeted product falls through to discharge under the machine. The rollers turn in the direction of line flow, conveying remaining product to discharge at the end of the machine. • Onions • Potatoes • Process apples Benefits • Accurate Sizing –– On-the-fly fine-tuning of size The diameter sizer is frequently used for dry receiving, wet receiving, and at the cutter deck for peeled potato products. –– Sizing can be adjusted by plus or minus 13 mm (1/2”) from the user-selected target diameter –– 95 percent or better efficiency • Rapid Payback –– Consistent, accurate sizing enables you to direct sized product to highest-value uses • Gentle Product Handling –– Rubber finger-rollers absorb shock, virtually eliminate product damage at infeed –– No pinch points at discharge to damage or shear product –– Better yield an
