In 2017 Haith gave their Research and Development team the task of developing a more reliable, low maintenance roller dryer which gives excellent moisture removal on produce. The result of this was the Haith direct drive drying system with low voltage, high efficiency motors connected to each drying roller.

Wet crop is gently placed onto the roller dryer, the first two rollers are rubber pintle lined allowing excess water and small debris to fall through which extends the life of the drying rollers.

The crop is then spread across the full width of the dryer and as the crop passes over each roller it actively rotates each individual tuber to dry the full surface area. Each individual roller has an adjustable wiper blade underneath to remove any excess water from the roller. The crop is then discharged over the end ready for further processing.

This innovative design prevents roller slip when working under load and spring loaded squeezing rollers running on the underside remove excess water to maximise crop drying. Incorporating a special drive coupling between gearbox and roller for simple, quick roller removal which are available in various widths and roller quantities with either felt or sponge covered rollers.

The machine can be fitted with an automatic roller clearing device to safely remove produce when changing varieties or cleaning the line down, all rollers are connected to a common inverter for infinite control of throughput.

Here at Haith we are proud to say that we are one of the only companies in our sector to be continuously owned by the same family since the company was founded.

It all began when, at 18 years old, Geoff Haith started carrying out repairs for local farmers leading him to realise that there was a need for a more mechanised way of washing and grading root vegetables, with his engineering ability and farming background he designed and manufactured machines for carrot, potato and beetroot handling.

The business, until recently, has been run by Geoff’s five sons and daughter, backed by a great young management team to ensure the continued success of the company, there are over 120 people employed at our factory in the UK and multiple agents around the world promoting the Haith brand globally resulting in a network of excellent installations and satisfied customers worldwide.

Haith has continued to grow in size and strength and has moved on 3 occasions to larger premises with more production area, this has led to the present ultra-modern wholly owned facility with around 6,000 m² of production space on a 6 acre site in South Yorkshire which is equipped with the most up to date CNC laser, waterjet and bending equipment.

Haith have achieved many awards for machine design over the years and are especially proud to have twice been awarded the highest accolade in the UK, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, both times in the Innovation category, as the only company in the field to hold this prestigious award, Haith’s emphasis on continual innovation and development with a view to keeping the UK vegetable industry at the forefront of technology has been acknowledged.
