Haith’s Direct Drive Root Veg Polisher is an ultra-low maintenance machine that gives the user their best polishing results and leaves the product with a much-improved skin finish, increasing pack out and adding value to the crop. The machine consists of a rotating barrel comprising a series of hard-wearing nylon brush rollers that rotate independently and can vary in speed. The system works by gently brushing (polishing) the surface of the vegetable, removing soil and minor surface defects. Internal spray bars rinse the produce as it travels along the length of the barrel to aid cleaning. The first one is recycled water for reduced water consumption and the second is fresh water for a final rinse before exiting the polisher. An air-operated linear discharge door holds the produce level until it weirs over to give an even outfeed and air jacks can raise/lower the discharge end which changes the running angle to maximize dwell time and crop cleaning. Our innovative Direct Drive Polisher has been designed with limited moving parts resulting in an ultra reliable machine with low running costs and minimal downtime when carrying out service works.
