The Elisam CombiGrader for Potatoes and Onions is a compact grading solution designed for operations handling approximately 5,000 to 20,000 tons of potatoes and onions per year. The machine allows operators to switch between potato and onion grading on the same system while maintaining consistent grading quality. It is equipped with Ellips True-AI technology and is designed to reduce labor dependency through automated, hands-free sorting.
True-AI grading for internal and external defects
The Elisam CombiGrader analyzes potatoes and onions according to characteristics including size, weight and color, while Ellips True-AI technology detects internal and external defects.
For potatoes, detectable defects include wireworm, rhyzo, compression bruising, mechanical damage, scab, scurf, punctures, growth cracks, sprouting, internal browning and hollow hearts, among others.
For onions, detectable defects include rot, mold, sprouting, fusarium, root tear, balding, misshapen produce, sun scald, mechanical damage, internal rot, root plate, bulb rot and neck rot, among others.
Throughput of up to 15 tonnes per hour
The Elisam CombiGrader provides throughput of up to 15 tonnes per hour. Its automated grading process is designed to help operators meet production volumes and delivery requirements while maintaining grading quality. The high-capacity configuration also allows more product to be processed within a shorter period while retaining flexibility throughout the season.
Flexible grading for different markets
Grading specifications can be adjusted to accommodate different customer requirements and quality standards. The system is suitable for potatoes and onions destined for retail, wholesale, processing and export markets, allowing operators to respond to changing requirements and seasonal market opportunities while maintaining throughput and grading consistency.
Compact four-lane design
The Elisam CombiGrader is a four-lane grading machine with a footprint of approximately 15 meters. Its compact configuration is designed for integration into existing packing facilities while providing high-capacity potato and onion grading without requiring extensive installation space.
The compact design also facilitates integration into existing facilities without major infrastructure changes, helping increase production capacity while limiting installation space and operational complexity.
Plug-and-play installation
The Elisam CombiGrader is designed as a plug-and-play solution for installation in one day. The ready-to-operate four-lane configuration is intended to simplify installation, avoid complex engineering and lengthy setup procedures, and minimize disruption to existing operations.
