Length Sizer The length sizer is a uniquely designed machine used to separate longer potatoes from a whole potato stream or eliminator stream. It also precisely Benefits • Accurate Sizing – target length (and smaller) – customer selects size parameters products. It is used on wet, washed (no rocks), unpeeled potatoes. Factory set to select out potatoes of a chosen 90 percent efficiency typical, within plus or minus 1/2” (13 mm) accuracy at design capacity and The system uses a series of rotating stainless steel shafts with rubber operating parameters – rollers, arranged in pairs. The first shaft in each pair uses our proprietary Flite Roller, and the second uses our – “Five paddle” roller targets longer potatoes with maximum major diameter of 2-3/4” (70 mm) and proprietary interlocking paddle wheel maximum minor diameter of 2-1/4” (57 mm) rollers and discs, to form specific size pockets. Potatoes of the target Potato diameter affects efficiency; perform general diameter grading before length sizing – “Six paddle” roller targets shorter length length and within the defined major potatoes with maximum major diameter of and minor diameter limitations settle 2” (51 mm) and maximum minor diameter of into the pockets, rotate between the pairs of rollers, and drop out under the machine. Longer potatoes • Easy Operation – Flexibility to fine tune for potato length and diameter variability within unit configuration machine for discharge to downstream Sizing Pockets Flite Roller Note: adjustment cannot be used to change target length
