It includes a bunker, roller inspection table, box sorting machine, conveyor belt, conveyor, and weigher.

Have a look at it's separate components:

1 - Hopper

The Schouten hopper ensures a constant feed to your grading line and limits dropping height. It can also be used as an intermediate buffer for your packaging or palletting line.

2 - Roller Inspection Table RB-S

Schouten Roller Inspection Tables facilitate quality control of your product. The product is rotated as it is transported forward. The Roller Inspection Tables RB-S (standing) is suitable for product inspection while standing. The rollers run straight back underneath the table. This model can be equipped with a belt guide, making it possible to control the peripheral velocity of the rollers independently of the forward movement. Three types of Roller Inspection Tables are available.

3 - Box Sorting Machine SMA-K

The unique 'jump-action' grading technique ensures an extremely accurate and product-friendly grading process. With every 'shock' movement the product is tossed up at an angle and topples forward at an angle as well. This means that the product cannot escape the grading holes by manoeuvring between them, ensuring great accuracy. Jump grading depth & direction are easily adjustable by two hand wheels in order to choose the best jump movement for potatoes & onions.

Schouten’s rubber sieves reduce product damage to a minimum & fill up less quickly than steel sieves. The rubber covering can rotate around the steel, minimizing the chance of potatoes getting stuck. The sieves can be changed quickly & easily. After grading, the potatoes are led to the discharge conveyor, with minimal drop height.

5 - Hopper Conveyor

The Schouten BW hopper conveyor ensures a constant feed to your grading line and limits dropping height. It can also be used as an intermediate buffer for your packaging or palletting line. A detection sensor measures the product flow and controls the lower conveyor belt. Schouten hopper conveyors can be supplied in a variety of models, often combined with a hydraulic tipper or with a tipper attached to the forks of a forklift truck.
