MAF ONEWAY

The MAF OneWay potato weight grader is a cup sizing grading machine that singulates crop and grades based on the weight of each tuber. A roller presentation conveyor orientates tubers in-line before they pass over a V-belt singulating section which has variable belt speeds which separate the tubers which are then transferred into individual cups. After passing over load cells they are distributed onto predetermined outlet belts for packing.

Available with two, three, four, five or six lanes, the MAF OneWay potato grader can be specified with any number of outlet belts for weight graded crop. With crop cups also programmable to tip either side of the machine for a more compact machine length. When packing into cartons, two alternating belts per category are used to give high capacity non-stop operation.

HIGH CAPACITY WEIGHT GRADING

With the new generation MAF OneWay weight grader, users can achieve over 40% more capacity than previous models. With each cup clipped in place on top of the lane chain, support rods are no longer necessary, allowing much higher grading speeds and minimal maintenance. The average working speed of the MAF OneWay is an efficient 400 cups per minute, per lane, with the ability to handle tubers up to 200mm in length
