Herbert Engineering, the leaders in handling systems for the agricultural and fresh pack industries, have announced its most innovative coil cleaner yet which will be officially launched at LAMMA 2012. The new Coilcleaner Plus spiral cleaner moves the crop continuously, separating loose soil, clods and small potatoes from the main crop.
The Coilcleaner Plus features several important innovations, which increase its cleaning effectiveness, as well as providing easier maintenance. A core difference is the key components are made of polyurethane instead of steel, providing a better cleaning action. The CoilCleaner Plus also uses a split drive system, which enables every other coil to be driven at an independent speed, giving a more flexible cleaning action, holding the crop to ensure effective cleaning. The module is designed to be used with a Herbert standard interchange mechanism and can be easily fitted in place of another cleaner to suit the conditions. Herbert is the only supplier to offer this unique interchange design on its graders.
In 2012, Herbert Engineering will be celebrating its 40th anniversary and launching a record number of new products. From the early days of serving growers, originally in post harvest on field grading to, more recently, electronic grading for processors, Herbert’s ties with the root crop industry have remained strong and become the backbone for the business.
