Storage bunkers are used for buffering product in a processing line of tuberous and bulbous crops. For processing companies it is the perfect solution for creating continuity in a processing line.The Tolsma-Grisnich storage bunkers offer a various range of possibilities, for both large-scale as well as small-scale storing. If need be, the storage bunkers can also be fitted with advanced refrigeration and ventilation systems.

Optimal processing

The Tolsma-Grisnich storage bunkers are developed to create an optimal processing flow of the processing line. Integrated with a grading installation, storage bunkers are being used as buffer with diverse filling and extraction systems. Filling is done using central filling, a moveable filling conveyer or a tilt conveyer, all combined with a fallbreaker. Filling can also be done using a descending conveyer with moveable end, where the end part of the conveyer will be lowered in the bunker. Unloading the storage bunker is done using a valve or a conveyer.

Making use of storage bunkers enables high capacity seperation of different sizes and potato varieties. The desired size or variety will be stored in 1 storage bunker. The angle of the funnel is 45°, which ensure an optimal extraction flow. Tolsma-Grisnich develops both extraction conveyers as well as discharching valves with various compartments. This makes sure that within any process of the processing line, buffering can be made possible.

The advantages:

• Efficient seperation of size and variety
• Optimal filling
• Various storage capacities possible.
