Potato silo machine BCCD-611, Potato stacker crane BDDY-818 and Potato stacker crane BDDE-815 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 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BCCD-611 | Approximately 60 t/h | 8000 × 1450 × 1650 mm; conveying length after contraction 7900 mm, after extension 11000 mm | Bulk potato storage, retrieval and transfer | | BDDY-818 | Approximately 80 t/h | Length 17500-22600 mm × width 2500 mm × height 3110 mm | Bulk potato storage, stacking and loading | | BDDE-815 | 60 t/h | 10100 × 2850 × 1650 mm; length after stretching 15800 mm | Bulk potato storage, stacking and loading | ## 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 Bulk storage is a timing problem as much as a volume problem. The BCCD-611 silo reference, the BDDY-818 crane and the BDDE-815 crane should be read as a chain: receiving must leave enough buffer for stacking, and retrieval must not starve the next process. Mapping one-way travel, service aisles and reclaim points often reveals more than comparing silo capacity alone. 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.
