The roller inspection table L3000 with channel division. On this table, the potatoes are not just inspected but also graded according to size: The large potatoes that will be quartered go into the two channels on the right; the medium-sized potatoes to be halved go into the third channel and the fourth channel is for potatoes too small for being cut (see photo 6).   From the roller inspection table, the clean, pre-graded potatoes travel along the conveyor system of the potato-dividing machine KT1/E. Potatoes in the two channels on the left will be quartered. The potatoes in the third channel will be halved. The small potatoes on the fourth channel are not cut up.
