Bruising:
Potatoes are sensitive to bruising during the gath-
ering, transporting and handling phases of har-
vesting. Bruising is kept to a minimum by maintain-
ing a full flow of potatoes through each machine
and minimizing all drop heights. Bruising during
the storage phase can be minimized by keeping
the drop height between each machine and dis-
charge as small as possible.

Sorters:
The Clod Hopper is designed with the right side
dirt conveyor close to the ground to allow sorters/
personnel to stand next to the machine and move
good potatoes from the trash to discharge con-
veyors. Do not allow any personnel to have unre-
strained long hair, loose clothing or jewelry when
working on the machine.
