Tong Peal Engineering is set to showcase its latest range of processing equipment at Europe’s largest potato exhibition in September.
The UK’s leading designer and manufacturer of agricultural handling and sorting equipment will be present at Potato Europe, on stand V570J, to exhibit a number of new products from its 2013 range.
Visitors will have the opportunity to find out more about Tong Peal’s market-leading processing equipment, including new crop polishing system – the TPS-Pro Polisher.
Designed with efficiency in mind, the new addition to the 2013 range features an electric direct drive inside each shaft, self-contained stainless steel motors within their own oil baths and waterproof sealed bearings. These key features virtually remove the need for equipment maintenance or lubrication, helping to reduce labour costs and improve efficiency.
The polisher is also fitted with a unique drive system with gold-plated contact points for optimum longevity.
Available in a 14 brush model featuring a 3m x 800mm barrel as well as an 18 brush model with a 3m x 1050mm barrel, the TPS-Pro Polisher provides outputs of between 15 – 30 tonnes per hour and can be specified as a stand along model or retro fitted into an existing static line.
“The TPS-Pro Polisher is our most effective independent polishing system ever, featuring the latest technologies and energy-efficient processes ensuring a quiet and efficient unit,” commented Charlie Rich, Export Sales Manager at Tong Peal.
“Excellent build quality, hard-wearing fabrication and a two year warranty offers virtually maintenance-free vegetable polishing, which is perfect for multiple crop varieties.
“Exhibiting at Potato Europe is a great opportunity for us to meet with visitors from all over the world and to showcase our latest machinery. With big developments in energy efficiency as well as labour and maintenance requirements, the Tong Peal 2013 range offers more than ever before.”
Tong Peal’s team of expert engineers will also be on hand during the exhibition, to meet with visitors and discuss how Tong Peal’s products can improve labour, space, resource and throughput efficiencies.
