Inspection conveyor for potatoes and vegetables
In food processing plants that handle large volumes of fresh produce like potatoes and vegetables, ensuring the removal of defects and performing manual inspection tasks quickly and efficiently is crucial. Traditional systems can be cumbersome and time-consuming, demanding frequent cleaning and causing excessive downtime.
Streamline inspection and trimming of produce
The Inspection-Trim Conveyor from Heat and Control is designed to enhance the efficiency of defect removal and manual inspection of potatoes and other vegetables. The system features a cleanable roller that gently tumbles the produce, allowing inspectors to view all sides easily and trim or discard unwanted material promptly. The rugged stainless steel frame includes a full-length drip pan and discharge chute to minimize spillage, while an optional trim removal conveyor independently handles scrap materials, reducing additional cleanup tasks. Available in single or double lanes with movable cutting boards and elevated platforms, this conveyor can be customized to fit various plant layouts. Ideal applications include potato chip lines, French fry lines, onions, potatoes, and other fresh produce processing.
