Two mobile washing facilities will be displayed at UK Potato Days

Two major players within the UK potato sector will join together next month at Potato Days to unveil an innovative mobile washing rental service. Haith along with GRIMME UK will showcase the most advanced, versatile, and large-capacity option for on-farm washing, called the Haith Mobile Washer in the brand new event in the industry scheduled to take place at Dyson Farm’s facility located in Norton near Lincoln on the 5th and 4th September.

“We really look for the opportunity to attend Potato Days next month,” adds Haith Director of Operations Duane Hill. “There will certainly be a large number of people expressing excitement about this brand new event and we hope the event will be highly attended. We’ll be at the event with GRIMME UK, putting the emphasis on the new version of our bestselling Mobile Washer.”

“Last season, GRIMME UK offered our Mobile Washer to select customers on a rent basis. The service proved extremely successful. There was such a interest in the service that when GRIMME UK sold the rental unit, they immediately purchased an additional Mobile Washer so that growers could use it for rental. In addition to the rental options for our mobile washer GRIMME UK is helping growers to avoid lead times at factories with stock units available for purchase immediately.”

Haith invented the first mobile washing machine in 1979, to assist farmers who supply crisp and chip factories provide a fresh cleansed product, free of stones and other foreign materials.

The Haith Mobile Washer boasts many unique features designed to provide efficient running at a low cost and high-efficiency motors, and an automatic removal of sludge for reducing water consumption. The chassis can be pulled with a tractor or HGV Haith’s Mobile Washer features an integral stone separation system as well as an auto-sludge, floating waste system that is located on the feed for removal of hollow heart potato, plastic, wood or other materials that are foreign to.

For the sake of ensuring longevity for machines as well as easy maintenance, a distinct shaft sealing design has been created. The system permits the bearings to be mounted on the outside, making them accessible for service and giving the bearings a longer life in contrast to other equipment that have bearings running under water.

The automatic system for removing sludge is extremely efficient for reducing consumption of water at a minimum, and also removing the waste. A HMI touchscreen allows the user to manage and regulate the entire system by a single location. CCTV systems can enable the operator to observe production flow in the control cabin.

Haith along with GRIMME UK entered into a partnership in the year 2020 in order to provide the complete solution to their customers. The agreement permits Haith to quickly and easily find vegetable handling equipment, as well as the in-field vegetable and root crop equipment.
