SIZE CROP BY DIAMETER

Every second roller is mounted in poly guide plates, which allows them to lift vertically to make a specified grade size.
Standard Lift Roller Grader models are available in in range of configurations from 1.2m wide, with 3 grade bands up to 2.4m wide with up to 6 grade bands. Other configurations can be custom built to suit your exact bulb grading requirements.
Available in mild or stainless steel construction, the Lift Roller Grader is extremely flexible and versatile. Making it one of Tong’s most popular vegetable grading machines, suitable for a wide range of crops.
