Leading UK vegetable handling equipment manufacturer Tong Engineering has just completed the installation of a high throughput new potato grading line for Cornwall potato grower, AR & SA White.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a family farming business based in Bodmin, Cornwall, AR & SA White<\/a> produce quality potatoes and cereals for the UK market, alongside a specialist contracting business and sustainable farming with renewable energy. When the company needed to increase the capacity of their potato<\/a> handling facilities, they chose Tong to design a complete new potato grading line that utilised space in their potato grading shed in the most efficient way. The new line, which is now in action at AR & SA White, is capable of processing up to 30 tonnes of crop per hour.<\/p>\n

Featuring two 150 degree control flow box tippers feeding forward conveyors, the grading line incorporates super extended specification EasyGrade screen modules<\/a> for accurate grading of up to four grades from the company’s potato crop. Graded potatoes are then gently filled into boxes with a series of Tong’s market leading EasyFill box fillers<\/a> with doorstop belts, ensuring high throughput, yet very gentle handling of crop.<\/p>\n

\u00abWe are very pleased with what we can now achieve with the new potato grading line; it has given us the ability to process much more crop on a daily basis and we are now in a much better position to keep up with the demands of our customer,\u00bb said Shaun White of AR & SA White.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe new grading line at AR & SA White is allowing them to achieve much more accurate grading whilst achieving more grade sizes; they are now able to supply a much wider variety of potato grades to their customers,\u00bb added Nick Woodcock, Sales Manager at Tong Engineering.<\/p>\n
