Water Bunker Belt

1500 kg/h Max. capacit

The water bunker belt is ideal for pre-cleaning unpeeled potatoes and all types of tuber vegetables, and for automatically transferring them to the downstream peeling machines.

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 litres 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 swivelling 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.
