Receiving silos and storage bunkers in RH-5, RH-10, and RH-15 series

Receiving silos by Gillenkirch across RH-5, RH-10, RH-15, and SRH-20 model lines accept bulk vegetable loads from tipper trucks and regulate output flow. Variable frequency drives on bottom discharge belts modulate discharge speeds smoothly toward downstream cleaning and washing stages.

Wide intake hopper with rubberized sidewalls shielding tubers from drop shock
Variable speed gearmotor powering bottom belt to maintain uniform line feed
Integrated soil cleaning rollers separating loose dirt clods and field debris
Selection of conveyor belts, idler rollers, and bearing units via serial tags

Drum and brush washing systems in DW, BW series and CSR destoners

Washing machinery from Gillenkirch across DW and BW series cleans potatoes thoroughly of adhering soil and clay without peeling fragile outer skins. Perforated rotating drums or profiling brush beds combined with CSR cyclone destoners prepare clean agricultural goods for downstream packaging.

Perforated stainless steel washing drum equipped with high-pressure spray headers
Profiling brush roller bed with variable rotation speed for gentle soil removal
Hydrocyclone CSR stone separator extracting stones and heavy sand from water
Selection of replacement brush rollers, spray nozzles, and drum seal rings by tags

RVS roller inspection tables, FSA sizers, and WSG screen sorters

Sorting machinery engineered by Gillenkirch features RVS roller inspection tables, FSA sizing machines, and WSG screen graders. Rotating polymer rollers spin tubers in front of operators, while interchangeable sieve screens sort produce into distinct size fractions with great precision.

Food-grade polymer inspection rollers rotating produce for comprehensive view
Modular sizing screens sorting diameter fractions spanning from 25 to 90 mm
Padded collection chutes directing sized vegetables onto exit conveyor belts
Selection of rollers, drive chains, sizing screens, and dampers via part numbers

Kinematic drive principles and thermal sealing control on 2000 E and 7000 E packaging units

Horizontal film packaging machinery from Gillenkirch in the 2000 E and 7000 E series delivers continuous wrapping of fresh vegetables into shrinkable and micro-perforated film webs along packaging lines.

Film unwinding assemblies employ motorized tensioning shafts that stabilize web tracking and stop wrinkling along longitudinal folds. The transverse sealing jaws house cartridge heaters paired with electronic temperature sensors that regulate sealing surface heat within one degree Celsius.

Protective PTFE barrier strips prevent hot polymer melt from adhering to heated metallic jaws during high-speed runs. Replacing thermal elements, resilient silicone backings, and cutting knives routinely safeguards hermetic seal integrity.

Mesh fabric feed automation and double-chain sewing cycles on 2500 N bagging machinery

Automatic mesh sewing packaging machines by Gillenkirch across 2500 N-25 and N-50 model ranges provide fast bagging of root vegetables into tubular mesh bags with double-thread chainstitch seam closures. A heavy-duty industrial sewing head sits at the core of the bagging apparatus.

Mesh web advancement runs in electronic synchronization with the carriage stroke, preventing fabric over-stretching when loaded with heavy tubers. A pneumatic clamping shoe grips bag necks firmly throughout the stitching path until seam completion.

A mechanical shear blade snips thread tails cleanly as bags exit onto the discharge belt. Routine lubrication and timely looper adjustments prevent skipped stitches during shifts.

Hydraulic circuits and proportional motion damping on KK-1200 and KKB-1800-H box tippers

Hydraulic box tippers manufactured by Gillenkirch across KK-1200, KK-1600, and KKB-1800-H lines unload vegetables from wooden crates and plastic pallet boxes directly into intake hoppers.

A self-contained hydraulic power unit equipped with proportional directional valves supplies pressurized fluid to twin lift cylinders. Rotation speed and tipping inclination adjust smoothly without steps, discharging produce gently without kinetic impact shocks.

A flexible cushioned holding apron settles over top vegetable layers as tipping begins, preventing tubers from rolling downward in sudden surges. Solid-state proximity sensors monitor limit positions, protecting structural pivot bushings from strain.

Bottom conveyor mechanics and flow rate modulation in RH and SRH receiving silos

Bulk vegetable receiving silos in the RH-5, RH-10, RH-15, and SRH-20 model generations engineered by Gillenkirch receive crop deliveries from tipping trailers and meter flow rates toward processing stations.

An inclined bottom discharge conveyor incorporates heavy chevron belting that stops round root vegetables from rolling backward. The conveyor head pulley connects to an inline gearmotor managed through a variable frequency drive, allowing operators to match discharge volume to washer capacities.

Integrated polyurethane spiral cleaning rollers at the discharge throat separate loose soil and field stones before crops drop into washing tanks.

Hydrodynamic washing dynamics and cyclone stone removal on DW and CSR vegetable lines

Washing lines engineered by Gillenkirch combining DW drum washers with CSR cyclone destoners deliver gentle removal of clinging soil, mud, and mineral debris from field vegetables.

Inside the DW drum washer, vegetables tumble submerged within a perforated rotating cylinder, cleaning gently through fluid circulation and mild tuber-to-tuber contact.

The CSR cyclone separator generates an upward hydrodynamic water vortex: heavy stones and sand sink to the lower collection cone and eject via a discharge screw, while buoyant vegetables float onward into washing channels.

The BW brush machine finishes produce through rotating brush rollers, restoring natural shine without skin peeling.

Mechanical sizing geometry and roller inspection dynamics on RVS tables and WSG graders

Grading and inspection machinery from Gillenkirch provides sizing separation and visual sorting of root vegetables prior to final packaging operations. RVS inspection tables feature food-grade polymer rollers that rotate along their own longitudinal axes while traveling forward on drive chains.

This rotational movement presents the full surface area of each tuber to sorting operators for defect inspection. WSG and WBS sieve grading machines employ flat grading screens perforated with calibrated square openings.

An eccentric drive mechanism imparts smooth oscillating motions that classify vegetables into uniform sizes without wedging produce in screen apertures.
