Robot

The RS Series Destoner (also known as the "Robot") is the first line of defense in any root crop processing line. Positioned upstream of the rasper and crusher, it continuously removes stones, sand, metal fragments, and other heavy impurities from the feed stream using a high-efficiency hydraulic separation bed. Without reliable destoning, downstream equipment suffers accelerated wear and product quality degrades.

Key Features:

  • High-Efficiency Gravity Separation: Utilizes a fluidized bed design combined with adjustable water flow to create an optimized density gradient. Stones & heavy debris sink and are discharged separately, while clean crops float to the outlet. Removal rate exceeds 98% for stones >3mm.

    → A single stone reaching your rasper can damage hundreds of saw blades. Investing in front-end destoning is the most cost-effective maintenance decision you can make.

  • Continuous Automatic Operation: Designed for 24/7 unattended running. The self-cleaning discharge mechanism prevents stone accumulation, eliminating the need for manual intervention during operation.
  • Adjustable Water Flow Control: Operators can fine-tune water pressure and flow rate to match different raw material types (cassava, potato, sweet potato) and varying soil conditions, ensuring optimal separation across seasons.
  • Low Water Consumption: The recirculating water system recycles process water, achieving efficient destoning with minimal fresh water makeup. Typical water consumption can be reduced to <2 m³ per ton of raw material.
  • Durable Construction: The separation trough is lined with wear-resistant stainless steel. All wetted parts are corrosion-resistant, ensuring a service life exceeding 10 years under normal operating conditions.

    → With proper maintenance, the RS Series operates reliably for over a decade, making it one of the lowest total-cost-of-ownership investments in your line.
