Design

What matters when sizing the machine.

This is the information we need to recommend the right design and size for you.

  1. 01

    Fractions

    How many size classes are needed? Several fractions are possible in a single pass.

  2. 02

    Limits

    Which size goes where? The roller gap is infinitely adjustable.

  3. 03

    Throughput

    The target quantity determines the length and width of the roller bed.

  4. 04

    Position in the line

    Before peeling, to adjust peeling times, or after it, to form sales grades.

Frequently asked questions

Grading: frequently asked questions

By means of longitudinal rollers with an infinitely adjustable roller gap. Several fractions are possible in a single pass.

How many size classes you need and which size goes where is set by the limit dimensions. The target quantity determines the length and width of the roller bed.

Both are possible, for different purposes. Before peeling, peeling times can be adjusted to size; afterwards, grading forms sales grades.

Size grading decides peeling loss, cooking time and sales grade. Before cutting it also reduces the spread in tuber size.

In both EIMA peeling lines, yes: the longitudinal roller grader is our own development from Bad Zwischenahn and can be integrated there as an option.

With lines from other manufacturers it comes down to transfer heights and cycle time. Send us those details and we will tell you whether it fits.
