The equipment has been used to grade potatoes by a processor in the UK. The equipment lends itself to grading of a wide range of root vegetables and other agriculture products.

The grading machines were manufactured in 2001/2004 and 2006 and have the potential to grade 60 tonnes/hour. They are specially designed to handle both loose skin and set skin product without causing damage and are compatible with Integrated Management System (IMS). IMS allows processors to see rates of production in real time, as well as stock levels and the age of stock, providing 100 per cent tractability.

Other items to be sold include traditional bulk tippers, hoppers and various coveyoring systems, various complete screen graders, Vertifill box and bag fillers, Haith Supafill box fillers and packing stations.

Viewings take place between May 18 and May 22, 2009 from 10.00 a.m. to 4 p.m.
