Windshift system in extraction system potato seed potato grower

Meconaf installed an extraction system with wind shifting system in the fall of 2020 at Maatschap Bouthoorn-Iwema in Middenmeer, a large potato seed potato grower.

The grower decided to revamp the processing line and equip it with a state-of-the-art optical sorting machine. It was also important to achieve a low dust level in the processing area. Together with the customer and Wevano Machinery and Inovaa, our sales and engineering team critically studied the sorting line and then developed an extraction system tailored to the processing.

Windshift system

Besides the twelve carefully selected dust extraction points, the installation is also equipped with a so-called windshift system to separate the last potato leaves and dust from the product flow. The filter installation we use here filters the air so clean that it can be returned to the processing area. This means that hardly any heat is lost inside. This saves our client a lot of energy!

Compressed air cleaning extraction system

In addition, automatic compressed air cleaning ensures that the built-in cylindrical filter cartridges remain clean. The use of compressed air cleaning also gives the filters a very long service life.

Exhaust system and wind shifting system

Not only does Meconaf have a wide range of solutions for extracting the dust released during the processing of potatoes, but also for the sheeting when sorting onions and other bulbous and tuberous crops. We are happy to help you make the right choice for optimal results when it comes to a system for extraction and/or wind shifting.
