Sizing and Grading Equipment

Weening Brothers Mfg Inc. fabricates a wide variety of sizing & grading equipment for the produce packing industry. All equipment is available in either mild or stainless steel.

Lift Roll Sizer

The Weening Brothers Lift Roll Sizer works on the principle of expanding gap rollers. The main chain has a series of rollers on fixed spacing, with another series of rollers mounted a little higher between them. At the feed end of the machine, the rollers are close together. As they move along, the top roller is raised at several adjustable points along the machine, creating a larger gap between it and the rollers below. This design allow for great versatility in determining where each size of product falls. The sizing can be adjusted to suit the volume of each size being graded out. Reversible discharge conveyors also add a degree of versatility and can be used if suitable in you setup.

Grading / Roller Table

Grading tables are ideal for manually sorting culls from fruit or vegetables. Grading is much more efficient when done on a roller table as the produce rotates while moving along allowing the graders to see all sides of the product. Weening Brothers grading tables are available in a wide variety of sizes. Often times a centre lane or side mounted chute is built into the table allowing the graders to conveniently discard the culls, which are then taken away by conveyor. Roller tables are available with aluminum, stainless, or plastic rollers, which have oil impregnated long life wood or UHMW plastic bushings pressed into the ends. Grading tables are available in mild or stainless steel construction. ( back to top)
