Leading the way for potato equipment parts
9th November 2021
It is widely recognised that the increasing consumer choice for clean, freshly packed potatoes of a certain shape and size has led to increased demand on growers to supply the right potato in the right condition at the right time. As a result, equipment manufacturers have had to improve the output and efficiency of their products in order to remain competitive.
Clifton Rubber’s popular Cleaning Stars.
Potato growers need to know that they are getting the best value for money and can rely on the quality of equipment in which they are investing.
A recent Clifton Rubber customer said: “During our busy harvest season it is vital to fit our equipment with the best wear components to avoid costly breakdowns and maintain equipment efficiency for longer. Breakdowns mean downtime and then we are losing time and money. That’s why we buy from Clifton Rubber as we know that their products are durable and good value for money.”
Clifton Rubber’s range of rubber and polyurethane components are available for use in many aspects of the potato industry, including soil preparation, planting, harvesting, cleaning and packing.
The cleaning coils come in left and right-hand spiral options, each with interlocking ends to ensure a continual coil along the shaft with minimal soil trapping.
One of the most popular products is the cleaning coil, ideal for use in various cleaning and grading applications such as grading units, box fillers and receiving hoppers. These coils have been widely adopted by many manufacturers in the industry.
Other products from the company include Sponge Drying Rings, Cleaning Stars, De-Stoning Stars, Grading Spools, Clod and Haulm Rollers, Dahlman Rollers and pintle products such as Pintle Belts, Encapsulated Pintle and Pintle Rollers.
The requirement for product quality, efficiency and value for money is why the leading OEMs and growers use Clifton Rubber components in their equipment, the company says. Clifton Rubber has been manufacturing agricultural wear parts for over 40 years and has developed a range of rubber and polyurethane components suitable for the most demanding handling and grading environments where efficiency and durability are key.
