Haith’s Direct Drive Root Veg Polisher is an ultra-low maintenance machine that gives the user their best ever polishing results and leaves the product with a much improved skin finish which increases pack out and adds value to the crop.

The machine consists of a rotating barrel made up of a series of hard wearing nylon brush rollers that rotate independently and can be varied in speed. The system works by gently brushing (polishing) the surface of the vegetable, removing soil and minor surface defects.

Internal spray bars rinse the produce as it travels along the length of the barrel to aid cleaning. The first one is recycled water for reduced water consumption and the second is fresh water for a final rinse prior to exiting the polisher.

An air operated linear discharge door holds produce level until it weirs over to give an even outfeed and air jacks can raise/lower the discharge end which changes the running angle to maximise dwell time and crop cleaning.

Our innovative Direct Drive Polisher has been designed with limited moving parts resulting in an ultra reliable machine with low running costs and minimal downtime when carrying out service works.

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.
