Equipment for every stage after harvest.

Washing, drying, grading, sorting, handling and packing equipment for potatoes, onions and root crops. Every machine is built to order; each one closes with a quote, not a price.

Stage 01

Washing & stone removal

10 machines

HJV Engineering combi-washer: barrel washer and drying table on one frame

Washer & Drying Table Combination

A barrel washer and a 20-roller drying table on one machine, so every wet transition drains into one tank and is managed in one place. Built with 3 or 4 metre barrels at 1200 or 1500 mm diameter.
