Cooling Tubs
These tubs hold approximately 3500 cwt of potatoes. We cool the potatoes before they go through the washer and are packed.
-
Clean Potatoes
This is the drum washer. The potatoes are washed in chlorinated water to remove bacteria, while removing dirt with brushes.
-
Felt Dryer
After going through the washer, the potatoes go across the felt dryer. With the addition of the optical sorter, we were able to remove the first sorting table.
-
