Haith Group: 2020 Washer & Destoner set for British Potato 2019 launch

The Haith Group has chosen to unveil its 2020 Washer & Destoner at British Potato 2019 (November 20/21, 2019). Visitors to the company’s stand at the Harrogate event will be the first to see the new design that includes a range of innovative features making it the company’s most efficient and hygienic washer and destoner so far.

With its new washer, Haith aims to bring all of the innovative market-leading features found its top of the range Supa-wash to the broader market. Haith’s original Supa-wash was designed to handle 25 to 50t/hr. Haith’s 2020 Washer & Destoner is designed to appeal to people processing 10 to 25t/hr.

Made from stainless steel, Haith’s 2020 Washer & Destoner has a new innovative barrel design, which incorporates gentle produce lifters and intelligent speed adjustment for variable throughput and washing. It also benefits from a separate clean water discharge tank and an extra-wide destoner that gently transfers the crop into water.

The Supa-flume Destoner within the machine features an oversized heavy-duty elevator that will cope with heavy soil and clod loadings and is capable of removing stones of up to 250mm in diameter.

The new Washer & Destoner can process up to 25t/hr.

The sales director at Haith, Duane Hill, believes the new machine offers the lowest running and maintenance costs of any washer and de-stoner on the market today.

“We’ve worked incredibly hard to improve on our market-leading washer and destoner,” he said. “We’ve achieved this by making it quicker for people to change the crop, reducing the amount of water the machine uses and incorporating intelligent sensors to only release dirty water at a certain turbidity. We’re really looking forward to unveiling the machine in Harrogate and talking to people about the machine’s unique proposition.”

As well as launching the new washer and destoner, Haith’s team will be on hand to talk people through its full range of washers, polishers, graders, box tippers and packhouse equipment.
