Pre-cleaning and conveying potatoes for further processing

The water bunker belt is the first machine component (buffer) of further downstream processing procedures. Unpeeled potatoes as well as carrots, smaller celery tubers, smaller sweet potatoes, beetroot and various types of turnips are filled into the water bunker belt with a tank volume of 585 liters for gentle pre-cleaning. Adherent soil and stones are removed and the pre-cleaned products are converted further via a cleated belt to be transferred to downstream peeling machines. 

The potato peeling machines are filled via a swivelling chute, which automatically switches between the filling and peeling cycles. The user-friendly control of the water bunker belt takes place via a switch cabinet in connection with the potato peeling machines or the entire processing line. 

A useful, practical addition to the entire peeling line is a crate tipping device, which can be used to automatically fill the water bunker belt.

Benefits

Thanks to the buffer function of the water bunker belt from KRONEN, the potato peeling machines can be filled continuously.

Continuous filling of downstream machines

The water bunker belt fulfills a buffer function: the filling volume of 150 kg is processed in 5 to 10 minutes – depending on the capacity of the downstream peeling machines.

The water bunker belt from KRONEN makes precleaning possible through the brief soaking process – adhering soil and small stones are removed.

Soaking removes impurities

The short soaking process loosens even coarse impurities such as adhering soil and small stones, which then settle at the bottom of the water bunker belt in a collection bucket designed especially for this purpose.
