【Success Case】Jordan client customizes potato roller sorting machine to improve potato sorting efficiency

In March 2024, Union Machinery received an inquiry from a customer in Jordan. The customer was an enterprise specializing in fruit and vegetable processing. As their business scale expanded, they urgently needed to introduce a potato roller sorting machine to accurately grade the potatoes by size.

Customer Pain Points: Triple Challenges of Efficiency, Accuracy, and Cost

After in-depth communication with the client, we identified three core pain points they are facing:
 
1. Manual sorting is inefficient. Previously, the client relied primarily on manual sorting to grade potatoes by size; each production line required several workers to operate simultaneously, yet the hourly throughput remained limited. Manual sorting is not only slow but also fails to ensure consistent output around the clock.
2. Inconsistent sorting accuracy. Different workers applied varying criteria when classifying potatoes as ‘large’, ‘medium’ or ‘small’, resulting in poor size consistency in the sorted potatoes and adversely affecting product quality in subsequent processing stages.
3. Rising labour costs. As labour costs in Jordan have increased, the operational burden of relying on manual sorting has grown, and the client urgently needs to reduce long-term operating costs through the use of automated equipment.

Solution: Customized Potato Roller Sorting Machine

In response to the above needs of our customers, our technical team has customized a potato roller sorting machine for them. This device adopts advanced rolling bar grading principle, which circulates the material forward through the rotation of the rolling bar conveyor belt, and uses the gradually increasing distance between the rolling bars to achieve automatic grading of potatoes from small to large.
Key advantages of the equipment:

• Accurate Size Grading: Multiple grading levels (4-8 levels optional) can be set according to customer needs, with high sorting accuracy to ensure consistency in the size of each batch of potatoes.
• Efficient Processing Capability: The production capacity can reach 2-3t/h, greatly improving sorting efficiency and helping customers bid farewell to the low efficiency dilemma of manual sorting.
• Gentle Handling and Reduced Damage: The rolling bar design effectively reduces the collision and damage of potatoes during the sorting process, with a damage rate controlled within 1%, maintaining the integrity and commodity value of potatoes.
• Easy to Operate and Low Maintenance Cost: The equipment structure is reasonable, the operation interface is friendly, and daily maintenance is simple, suitable for long-term stable operation.
• Customizable Design: The grading size and grading level can be customized according to the actual needs of customers, flexibly meeting the requirements of different processing scenarios.

Equipment application achievements

After the smooth installation and operation of the potato roller sorting machine, the customer's potato sorting efficiency has been greatly improved:

• Improved Sorting Efficiency: The equipment has achieved fully automatic potato size sorting, with an hourly processing capacity far exceeding manual sorting mode.
• Improved Sorting Accuracy: The unified mechanical grading standard ensures the consistency of potato size, effectively improving the product quality in subsequent processing steps.
• Reduced Labor Costs: The sorting work that originally required multiple people to complete now only requires a small number of personnel for monitoring and maintenance, significantly reducing labor costs.
• Enhanced Quality Control Capability: Stable sorting quality lays a solid foundation for customers' product exports, helping customers better meet the quality requirements of the international market.
