Original Press Release:
New Farmco Precision Size Grader Delivers High-Efficiency, Accurate Sizing
Applications: Cut green beans, variety of fruits & vegetables
Key Technology, Inc. introduces the new Farmco Precision Size Grader for high-efficiency, accurate sizing. In-plant testing on cut green beans resulted in 95% efficiencies within 1/64" at capacities exceeding 10,000 lbs. per hour. Designed with a small footprint, the unit helps processors conserve valuable floor space compared and gently conveys product - minimizing bruising.
The new Farmco grader features a highly-sensitive indicator system that allows for precise, on-the-fly adjustability. Because the last roller is fixed, each of the rollers move backwards as the adjusting handle is turned at an equal distance to create a cumulative effect back to the infeed roller.
A robust, low-maintenance design delivers consistent and accurate sizing throughout the production season and minimizes the need for costly annual rebuilds of rotary drum graders. Typical season-end maintenance on the Precision Size Grader may involve little more than changing bearings and a thorough cleaning.
Farmco's time-tested line of mechanical sizing, separating, sorting, and grading equipment is the newest addition to the Key Technology product lines.
