REM - Two Roller Slither Remover

• Removing undesirable slivers and small pieces from processed vegetables, particularly potatoes.
• Ensuring product uniformity and quality in snack food production lines.
• Reducing waste and improving yield in vegetable processing operations.
• Preparing vegetables for subsequent processing steps like frying or freezing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, typically ranging from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour depending on the specific model and product.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on roller length and speed requirements.

Roller configuration

Units typically feature two contra-rotating rollers designed to grip and remove undersized or elongated pieces while allowing correctly sized product to pass.

Construction material

Most units are constructed from food-grade stainless steel to meet hygiene standards and ensure durability in wet processing environments.

Footprint

The footprint for a two-roller slither remover is generally compact, with lengths typically between 1.5m and 2.5m, and widths under 1m, making it suitable for integration into existing lines.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves regular cleaning of rollers and product contact surfaces, along with periodic inspection of bearings and drive components.
