- Typical capacity
- Typically ranges from 1 to 10 tonnes per hour, depending on the specific design and screen configuration.
- Power supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on motor size.
- Grading mechanism
- Units of this type commonly employ vibrating screens or roller systems with progressively sized apertures.
- Material construction
- As a 'Stainless Steel Potato Grader', the primary contact parts and frame are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316).
- Suitable feed sizes
- Designed to handle whole, unpeeled potatoes, typically ranging from small new potatoes to large baking potatoes.
- Footprint
- The physical footprint for this class of equipment can vary significantly, often requiring several square metres of floor space, plus access for maintenance.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular cleaning, inspection of screens/rollers, and lubrication of moving parts are typically required.
