The reception of the carrots for the line is located outside. The way of feeding the carrots to the line is with tip trailers and with cubic boxes. About five months a year, freshly harvested carrots are delivered with tip trailers. At the line we have put a large reception hopper. We want to limit the waiting time for the tip trailers as much as possible. A roller set has been installed at the hopper. The spiral roller set is to separate as much dry loose soil as possible. After the hopper, the carrots are taken to the washing machine with a trough belt. The input to the washing drum is with a water gutter. The washing machine has a drum of eight meters long with a diameter of 160 cm. The washing machine is especially for carrots so has no water level. In this way the carrots scrape each other clean. The output of the washing machine is with a perforated Intralox belt so we prevent water leaking onto the elevator. After the washing machine, there is the choice to run the carrots over the leaf separator or directly to the polishers.

After the washing machine and or the leaf separator there is the choice to polish or to by pass the polishers. After the washer, the carrots come on a flat belt. From this band you can make the choice by slides on the band to bring the carrots to two polishers. If you do not want to polish, the carrots go directly to the evenflow hopper for the radial grader. To produce 25 tons to thirty tons per hour, we installed two TD 250 – 18. The polishers have eighteen rollers with a length of 350 cm. The polisher discharges on a central collection belt. After the polishers or after the by pass for the polishers, the carrots go to a large evenflow hopper. The evenflow hopper ensures an even supply of carrots on the radial grader. The more even the supply the better the grading. Under the leaf separator and the polishers a gutter is made. In the gutter, the organic waste from the leaf separator and that of the two polishers is collected. The organic waste is then taken to the sieve belt for the even flow where it is separated. Water will be brought back to the basins.

After the even flow, the carrots come on a supply belt to the radial grader. This infeed belt makes the supply even more regular in order to further optimize the radial grader. The radial grader has five output belts. All output are from Central Control Panel or tablet movable. It is possible to fill cubic boxes directly from the radial grader. For final manual inspection or supply to the electronic sorters, the carrots are placed on a distribution belt. The distribution belt has a length of sixty-seven feet and width of eight feet. The band is divided into four lanes. From the radial grader you can reach any lane. Each lane can go to any manual inspection table. Each lane on the distribution belt can go to the two electronic sorters. To be able to make this choice, electric pneumatic valves have been fitted to the distribution belt. From the electronic sorters you can make four qualities. You can go directly to the packers from here. The elevator and band to the packers is not shown on the drawing. The carrots which are not packed directly are collected in bins or big bags.
