The product is introduced into the feed hopper via an elevator and is then fed into the barrel by a short screw conveyor. The 2400mm long barrel is fitted with longitudinal beater bars which also act as supports for the separator screens. The screens are hard plastic coated wire mesh. A rotary brush runs on the outside of the barrel to prevent haulm build up on the screens
The central rotor has angled beater blades which propel the product against the longitudinal bars thus splitting the pods. The angle of the blades imparts forward movement to the haulm eventually discharging it from the end of the barrel.
Separated peas and small waste fall through the screens on to a cleaning apron whose operating angle is adjustable and should be adjusted to achieve minimum crop carry over.
The drive drum of the apron is triangular thus creating agitation in the belt which causes the peas to roll down hill onto a cross conveyor whilst the waste travels on with the belt and is discharged.
Variable speed motors are fitted to the barrel and rotor whilst the apron is fixed speed.
Variation of the speed is essential to cope with tender early and subsequently more mature peas.
By varying the barrel and rotor speeds it is possible to achieve maximum throughput with optimum separation and minimum damage.

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.
