The
Personnel-Saving Combination of Inspection Table / Potato
Dividing Machine We
plan and design larger potato peeling plants, which peel
potatoes for the catering section, with an automatically
working sorting and dividing station. Our treatise Q 61
gives a more detailed description of this plant. In short
words: in this sorting and dividing station the peeled
potatoes are first sorted in sorting drums, according to
their size, and then fed into the respective dividing
machines. For
smaller and medium-sized enterprises we have a simple but
none the less economic solution: Here,
we combine the inspection table and the dividing machine and
connect these two machines by means of a special chute. At
the end of the inspection table (belt or roller inspection
table) are installed for example four channels (lanes).
These lead, over the four channels in the special chute,
into the four lanes of the dividing machine. We keep also
dividing machines with 2 and 6 lanes. In
most cases the dividing machine type DORNOW KT1 E is used
with 2 halving stations (e. g. left side) and 2 quartering
stations (e. g. right side = 4 lanes). Here, the personnel
sorts out the smaller potatoes to be halved into the two
left channels on the inspection table, while the bigger
potatoes to be quartered are separated into the two
right-hand channels. Thus,
you save a considerable number of personnel who would be
needed for dividing the potatoes into "plate-ready"
parts. The
profitability of this solution becomes especially evident if
the raw material is sorted before and the sorting sizes do
not differ too much. As
far as the inspection tables are concerned, they can be
designed as conveyor inspection belts or roller
inspection belts. One will normally use roller inspection
belts. – Please read our paper Q 66: "Roller
inspection belts for peeled tubers and roots". As
regards the subject "Dividing", we can make the
paper Q 04 available to you: "DORNOW Dividing Machines
for Peeled Potatoes". In this paper, all DORNOW
dividing machines are listed and described. So our program
also includes, for example, two lane and six lane dividing
machines and such dividing machines that allow only halving,
but have higher capacities. Best
business references are available. We
offer the possibility of seeing our machines and plants in
operation.
