<\/a><\/p>\nFeaturing a high-capacity infeed hopper, the Caretaker grading system specified for Haig Hamilton incorporates an 8-row model of Tong\u2019s industry leading EasyClean separator, complete with full Auto-Touch HMI control, for unrivalled cleaning and control in all conditions as well as advanced diagnostics. A 2400mm wide Tong EasyGrade screen grading module carefully grades crop before it passes over a 6-Man LED-lit inspection area and is then gently transferred to boxes via Tong\u2019s best-selling Midi EasyFill box filler.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new Caretaker is configured exactly to our specification,\u201d explains Mr Hamilton. \u201cWe worked closely with the team at Tong to ensure we had considered every option and detail that Tong offered to take our grading system to the next level. When you are specifying the machine, all the options promise to transform operations and efficiency in a variety of ways and now the machine is in operation I can certainly confirm that they really do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing from a 4-row cleaner to the 8-row EasyClean means we are now able to double our processing capacity when required, but it\u2019s the automation that is really making all the difference. Being based in Scotland, changeable weather is usually one of our biggest challenges, although this year has been unusually dry, but the Tong Auto-Touch HMI control system is extremely advanced and easy to use; at the touch of a button, all adjustments to the cleaner\u2019s settings are completely automatic. Most notably, the automatic high-speed cleaning function is incredible! We can schedule it to take place at set intervals, or in relatively dry conditions like we have at the moment, we set it to run at the end of each day. Within seconds dirt is removed from the EasyClean and it is ready for the next day\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nick Woodcock, Sales Manager at Tong Engineering comments; \u201cHaving worked with the Hamilton family for many years we have a real understanding of their dedication to producing crop to the highest standards. Their new Caretaker features our most advanced options, and we have even taken their bespoke configuration a step further by designing some additional, unique features which have truly encompassed their most specific requirements. These features include an electric remote-controlled retractable canopy and an in-built water supply for the EasyClean\u2019s spray bars. They have left no stone unturned in specifying a highly advanced machine for the most efficient handling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Hamilton adds; \u201cTong\u2019s attention to detail in the design and build of every aspect, from the advanced controls to the heavy-duty construction and quality engineering, does not go unnoticed. We are delighted with every feature of our new Caretaker, which has completely streamlined our potato grading process.\u201d<\/p>\n
