Root Crop Polisher (HJV 1430)

The HJV 1430 polishes carrots, potatoes and other root vegetables with segmented brush rollers, and its bearing cartridges come out without special tools.

HJV 1430 root crop polisher

The HJV 1430 Vegetable Polisher gives root vegetables a consistent polished finish for market, using segmented brush rollers on straight square-tube brush shafts. A better finish helps both how the product looks on the shelf and how long it lasts there.

It was built around the maintenance crew. Bearing cartridges swap quickly with no special tools, a clam shell coupler lets you pull a brush shaft fast, and the tapered bearings are fully re-buildable. The drive is simple, with straightforward synchro belt tensioning.

Less time on the tools means less downtime in the packing season, and re-buildable parts keep replacement costs down over the life of the machine.

HJV Engineering pre-soak tank

Pre-Soak Tank

Up to 125 tons (250,000 lb) per hour

Soaks product ahead of the washer so dirt loosens, stones drop and floating debris comes off early, at up to 125 tons per hour. It also holds product so the wash line gets an even feed.
