Automatic Salt Bath

The automatic salt bath has been developed to automatically separate potatoes with a low dry matter content from potatoes with a high dry matter content.

First of all, the potatoes fall from a conveyor belt into a salt bath. In the salt bath, potatoes with a low dry matter content are separated from potatoes with a high dust content. The salt bath is filled with water that contains a certain amount of salt. This salinity is registered by a salt meter and can therefore be kept at the correct value. The potatoes will fall into the salt bath and be transported out of the salt bath by means of the conveyor belt at the bottom of the salt bath. The potatoes that will float will be kept separate. After the good samples have passed through the salt bath, the floaters are released and also transported away via the conveyor belt. The floaters are weighed separately and then fall into a separate container.

• Ideal in combination with an underwater weigher.
• Salt meter optionally available.
• Compact.
• CE marking.
