Simplicity is central to the Exeter's electronic sorter, grader, sizer design. Since the transportation system has few moving parts, it has minimal maintenance requirements and a long, problem free operating life. It operates with a cable pulley set up and high strength polyurethane jacketed cables which slide smoothly on UHMW guides. Potato removal is accomplished by a solenoid actuated air cylinder shear. This high speed shear advances, removes the product, and retracts without disrupting potatoes on either side of the one being removed. A soft plastic is used for the removal shoe. Padded and inclined delivery boards with curtains allow for gentle handling of all potatoes, to help minimize bruising. ACCU VISION's Optical Sorting Technology is designed to reduce labor costs through its ability to simultaneously size and grade your product. This gives you the ability to sort US#1, US#2, Non A, Special Sizes, and Process at your discretion. Accu Vision's high speed color camera system views the potato surface from two directions and has the ability to grade and size at the rate of 4 to 5 pieces per second per lane. Efficiency, Accuracy and Innovation are the guiding principles behind Exeter Engineering's line of automated sizing and defect grading equipment. The Accu Vision Sorter has achieved wide acceptance throughout the potato industry with its ability to both size and detect surface defects.
