DORNOW Dividing Machines for Peeled Potatoes

Halving and/or quartering in lying position

 

Already more than 20 years ago we were the first firm the world all over to market halving and quartering machines for peeled potatoes in lying position. Now, the following well-proven basic types are available:


1. The quartering and halving machine KT1E / 4 (0614),

2. The halving machine KT2 – 450 / 4 (0617).


Both machines are available in different sizes with two, four or five dividing stations, i. e. with two, four or five chutes.

The type designations and the article numbers of the various machines:
 

1.      

The quartering machine with the possibility, also of halving at the same time (example: 50% of the dividing station quartering, 50% dividing): 

1.1

KT1E / 4             4 dividing stations length of potatoes   max. 120 mm

(0614)

1.2

KT1E – H / 2       2 dividing stations length of potatoes   max. 120 mm 

(0620)

1.3

KT1E / 6             6 dividing stations length of potatoes   max. 120 mm 

(9100)

Tools, Variations

 

As to 1.1 up to 1.3 
Halving and quartering is optionally possible by mounting the suitable blade block. Standard equipment: quartering. Another equipment optional. - It is possible to remove the blade block from an optional dividing station if dividing is not required there!

All readjustments can be effected by your own staff. If you do not want to divide at all, the blade blocks will be fixed in their uppermost position. In this case, the chutes serve for transporting the peeled potatoes in a continuous way.

 

As to 2.1 up to 2.9 
Standard version: circular blades for halving the potatoes. These blades can be lifted up, with the chutes only serving for transportation, without dividing. Moreover, single blades can be removed if you do not want to divide potatoes at one of the dividing stations.


Capacities per hour for divided potatoes
in case of constant and adjustable feeding and an 80 per cent ** utilization *. Approximate capacities, depending on the size of the tubers.

As to 1.1   800 - 1200 kg
As to 1.2   400 -   600 kg
As to 1.3 1000 - 1400 kg

As to 2.1   2.0 – 3.0 t/h
As to 2.2   3.0 – 4.0 t/h
As to 2.3   4.0 – 5.0 t/h
As to 2.4   1.0 – 1.5 t/h
As to 2.5   1.5 – 2.0 t/h
As to 2.6   2.0 – 2.5 t/h
As to 2.7   2.5 – 3.5 t/h
As to 2.8   3.5 – 4.5 t/h
As to 2.9   5.0 – 6.0 t/h


Additional inspection possibility

There may be one person at each of the machines charged, if necessary, with the inspection of the potatoes to be divided.


Efficiency
 

You need 6 to 7 rapidly working staff in order to quarter manually one ton per hour of medium-sized or big potatoes into four plate-ready pieces. If you use the machine KT1E, it is possible to save five or six operators.
Factories with necessary high dividing capacities cannot dispense anymore with efficient dividing machines.


* As far as the dividing machines KT1E / 4 and KT1E-H / 2 are concerned, we can offer the separation systems VE - 4R (0615) or VE - 2R (0621) as well as the feeding and distributing chutes ZV-4R (0616) and ZV-2R (0622) which provide for the constant and adjustable feeding of the potatoes into the transportation chutes.

For KT1E / 6 (9100) the separation systems VE – 6R (9191) and the feeding and distributing chute ZV – 6R (9102).


** In case of purchasing a machine you should assume only a 50 to 60 per cent utilization for safety reason. Impact possible due to various factors.
