TECHNOLOGY / FUNCTIONING

One person is needed only to deliver potato to the hopper and the other two processes are needed for filling up potato in sacks, replacing and removing those potatoes which are trapped on the sieve. The cylinder will be moving and potatoes are fed in the hopper. Potatoes size under 28 mm in diameter will fall into the sacks rolling on the first part of the sieve. Potatoes size 28–40 mm in diameter will go in the second category and fall into the sacks after rolling. Potatoes size larger than 40 mm in diameter will be filled in sacks after rolling through the last sieve.
