The radial grader from Allvege Process Technologies is engineered to sort a wide variety of vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, onions, parsnips, beets, rutabaga, flower bulbs, and other similarly shaped produce. The Allround radial grader uses a two-dimensional grading system to efficiently separate produce based on diameter. Grading sizes can be set either manually or automatically, with adjustments available on all belts except the last one, which is dedicated to the largest size.
Produce is moved and rotated over rollers, with the distance between the rollers gradually increasing. As the produce advances, smaller items fall first, while larger items drop later. These are collected onto belts that continue transporting them. Multiple belts are arranged for different size ranges, and adjustable angles help the produce drop accurately, allowing sufficient time for precise sorting.
