The Sormac sliver remover is manufacturered with a series of ribbed rollers with an adjustable distance between each roller. The roller bed is inclined creating an angle for optimal product transit. The produce flows crosswise over the rollers with a forward product speed dependent on the angle of the roller bed and the rotational speed of the rollers. The undersized product falls through the rollers aided by the external ribbing around the roller and the whole graded product passes forwarded.
The waste falling through the rollers, is caught in a hopper and collected in a crate or waste belt under the machine.
The distance between the rollers is adjustable between 4 and 16 mm (0,16″ – 0,63″) by placing fixed pre-sized spacers between the axles of the rollers. The machine will be supplied with 3 sets of distant spacers. Sliver removers are used for removing small misshaped pieces out off parallel shaped cut root vegetables.
The machine is completely constructed of stainless steel. The roller rotational speed is controlled by a stainless steel drive motor. The angle of the roller bed can be adjusted to suit individual product types.
