ABOUT SECOND-HAND ROLLER SORTING MACHINES

In the world of agriculture and horticulture, roller sorting machines are used for accurately sorting products such as flower bulbs and various vegetables, including carrots, chicory, Brussels sprouts, and onions. Roller sorting machines offer an efficient solution for sorting harvests by size, with some machines capable of producing up to five different size outputs.

Moreover, second-hand roller sorting machines are often easily adjustable and can be integrated into existing sorting lines and production processes, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency.

THE OPERATION OF ROLLER SORTING MACHINES

The operation of roller sorting machines, such as radial roller sorters, is based on the use of stainless steel rollers placed transversely across the machine on chains. These rollers can be adjusted incrementally to achieve the desired sorting. By reducing the distance between one stainless steel roller and another, the correct size can be easily set mechanically. The sorted product is then conveyed via a discharge belt beneath the roller sorter.

Another version of the roller sorting machine, the spiral roller sorting belt, operates slightly differently. It features a conveyor belt with spiral rollers on top. These can be adjusted in height; if the vegetables are smaller than the setting, they move on to the next spiral. This is how vegetables or flower bulbs are mostly sorted.

The choice of the appropriate roller sorting machine depends on various factors, such as the maximum diameter to be sorted. The distance between the rollers determines this maximum diameter, allowing growers and producers to select a machine that perfectly meets their specific needs. Additionally, the number of sorting categories is important, with options such as pre-sorting or oversize sorting being considerations. The number of tons to be sorted per hour also affects the choice, with the machine's capacity corresponding to the width of the rollers.

VEGETABLES AND FLOWER BULBS SUITABLE FOR ROLLER SORTING MACHINES

Roller sorting machines are particularly suitable for sorting a variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and flower bulbs. Examples include carrots, chicory, Brussels sprouts, and onions. Flower bulbs and potatoes can also be sorted in this way.

Due to the flexibility of roller sorting machines, growers and producers can efficiently sort these vegetables by size, ensuring a uniform and high-quality final product.
