Diameter grader for cucumbers and carrots
In the agricultural and food processing industries, precise sizing and sorting of elongated products such as cucumbers and carrots is crucial. Ensuring consistent product quality and meeting specific market requirements are among the primary challenges faced by operators.
Diameter grading with diverging chain system
The Sormac diverging chain grader type AS is a specialized system designed for diameter grading of elongated products, placing particular emphasis on cucumbers and carrots. The grader’s operating principle is based on chains that move at the same speed, with the internal distance between them increasing along the conveyor. Products are positioned between the chains and pass through at corresponding points relative to their diameter. Rotating brushes and discs help align the products accurately between the diverging chains. The product collection area below the grading chains is divided into adjustable sections to meet required grading sizes. Options include collection hoppers, outfeed belts, electronic weighers, and stainless steel construction for pickled or brined products. Capacities range from 1 ton to over 150 tons per hour, catering to various operational scales.
