Equipment selection and operating guides for each stage of a potato line.
Technical notes from Goldilocks
A decision matrix can shortlist dry or water cleaning, but crop trials must settle the choice. Start with soil adhesion and the buyer’s required presentation, then check water availability and waste handling. Compare representative lots against an agreed visible-soil standard and handling...

A potato soil elevator transfer should be checked with crop carrying representative loose and adhering soil, not only with clean potatoes. Observe the discharge, landing zone and receiving flow together. Compare timed samples before and after the hand-off, track accumulation over the...

After washing, the key decision is whether potatoes arrive at inspection with a stable, observable surface condition and an even flow. Review visible water, clumping, drop points, queue length and operator access before selecting a hand-off arrangement. Controlled crop trials should define...

A potato water wash utility checklist should define water availability during operation, drainage routes for water and solids, floor levels, maintenance access, electrical interfaces and every discharge destination. Final requirements depend on the selected configuration and crop conditions. Acceptance should test these...

Review brush contact under a representative potato load, not from an empty machine alone. Compare incoming and outgoing surface soil using consistent sampling and lighting, then check whether feed crowding or uneven presentation explains the result. Assess the manual-selection hand-off separately, and...

Choose potato dry cleaning equipment by testing how readily the incoming soil separates and what cleanliness the next process needs. Loose soil and firmly attached deposits create different duties. Compare configurations using representative crop samples, measured feed and discharge conditions, available space...

Before cleaning, define how to assess soil, foreign material, size spread and visible damage for each destination. Agree sampling, crop acceptance conditions, decision authority and the actions to accept, reroute, hold or reject a lot. Cleaning addresses removable contamination; manual selection removes...

Measure truck approach and unloading positions, building openings and obstructions, conveyor envelopes and transfer heights, stacker operating zones, service access and bag routes. Published machine dimensions are planning references, not the complete installed footprint. Confirm movement limits, clearances and the configured receiving...

Control potato unloading queues with a manual waiting board showing each load’s arrival time, mass, observed crop condition and specific destination. Keep waiting separate from permission to unload, and release a load only when its receiving route and destination are ready. Check...

Separate incoming potato lots when size distribution, soil burden, inspection needs or destination require different handling. A different source warrants comparison first. Lots can share equipment if their operating needs are compatible and a defined transition preserves identity.
