The water bunker belt is ideal for pre-cleaning unpeeled potatoes and all types of tuber vegetables and for automatic transferring them to the downstream peeling machines. • Saves time during the filling process of the downstream peeling machines • Gentle pre-cleaning by removing stones and soil • An efficient solution for the continuous operation of peeling and processing lines without interruption • Versatile use for several types of tuber vegetables The water bunker belt is the first machine component (buffer) of further downstream processing procedures. Unpeeled potatoes as well as carrots, smaller celery tubers, smaller sweet potatoes, beetroot and various types of turnips are filled into the water bunker belt with a tank volume of 585 liters for gentle pre-cleaning. Adherent soil and stones are removed and the pre-cleaned products are converted further via a cleated belt to be transferred to downstream peeling machines. The potato peeling machines are filled via a changing chute, which automatically switches between the filling and peeling cycles. The user-friendly control of the water bunker belt takes place via a switch cabinet in connection with the potato peeling machines or the entire processing line. A useful, practical addition to the entire peeling line is a crate tipping device, which can be used to automatically fill the water bunker belt.
