Potato Conveyor BSSJ8-08, Roller-type optical sorting machine CASV-2X-1200 and Potato cleaning machine BQX-16 / BQX-20 / BQX-24 cover complementary steps; the practical choice is how they share flow, access and operator attention. Start with crop condition, the hourly target and the quality decision the line must support. We select the first machine around that operating point. Place receiving, cleaning, inspection, storage and packing in a sequence that leaves room for service access, safe transfer and clear operator sightlines.

Capacity and dimensions set the first layout; our engineers then tune the line to the crop, target flow and site. | Model | Capacity | Dimensions | Role | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BSSJ8-08 | Approximately 80 t/h | 8050 × 1300 × 1300 mm; belt width 800 mm; inlet height 800 mm; outlet height 490-890 mm | Conveying between cleaning, grading, storage and packing equipment | | CASV-2X-1200 | 20 t/h | 4700 × 1700 × 1650 mm | Seed potato sorting; commercial potato selection; onion outbound sorting | | BQX-16 / BQX-20 / BQX-24 | 40 t/h / 60 t/h / >90 t/h | BQX-16: 7000 × 3050 × 2600 mm / 6150 × 3050 × 2450 mm; BQX-20: 7000 × 3200 × 2600 mm; BQX-24: 9000 × 3650 × 3300 mm / 9000 × 3950 × 3300 mm | Bulk potato receiving, soil removal, impurity separation and warehouse intake | ## How to plan the line ### 1. Start with the crop and flow Start with crop condition, the hourly target and the quality decision the line must support. We select the first machine around that operating point. ### 2. Set the physical sequence Place receiving, cleaning, inspection, storage and packing in a sequence that leaves room for service access, safe transfer and clear operator sightlines. ### 3. Prepare the project brief Before we issue a final proposal, we confirm voltage, material condition, shift pattern, local safety requirements and the acceptance test for the installed line. ## Typical bottlenecks and our method Commissioning should move from an empty-machine check to a controlled material test. BSSJ8-08 establishes the transfer path, CASV makes a sorting decision and BQX changes the incoming condition; each step needs a dry run, a first-load observation and a recorded adjustment. The acceptance record should state the sample, feed rate, output direction, reject handling and unresolved limits. Most line problems start at a transfer: one machine is rated above the next module, wet produce carries soil into inspection, or a reject stream returns to the main flow. We solve this by sizing the hand-off, buffer and discharge together. Our usual method is a controlled material trial. We set the feed rate, check drop height and belt or roller speed, tune variable-frequency drives where fitted, then record good and reject streams at each step. Depending on the line, the technical review can include buffer volume, belt speed, roller gap, drop height, optical lighting, near-infrared detection, pneumatic reject response and acceptance sampling. - material condition and size range - target flow by hour and by shift - available footprint and service access - power, voltage and discharge direction - the test method used to accept the line ## What we confirm before production A reliable line starts with a clear project brief. We confirm the feedstock, moisture, size range, contamination, installation site and acceptance criteria before fixing the final arrangement or operating target. Goldilocks configures each line after reviewing the crop, target throughput, layout, power and acceptance test.
