MILESTONE 395 WEST HWY 39 BLACKFOOT, ID 83221 RAMONA MITCHELL MILESTONE@QWESTOFFICE.NET WWW.MILESTONE-EQUIPMENT.COM How Milestone’s newest Debris Eliminator Sizer Sorter works: the operator feeds the product to the unit by way of three telescoping stingers, which feed the elevator with the Milestone- patented auto-speed. The patented auto- speed will speed up or slow down the elevator speed and the RPMs of Milestone’s patented star rolls, which greatly reduces bruising and also starts the spreading of the product. The potatoes then proceed over the first quick-adjust Debris Eliminator Table, which feed the Milestone-patented quick- adjust sizing table. There it eliminates up to 20 percent of the flow onto a Harriston Clod Hopper Drum, where 90 to 95 percent of the remaining is eliminated. Then the 20 percent of the debris is now cleaned up and can be blended back into the flow by means of the Milestone’s patented blend-back device. For one final inspection from the Dual Picking Tables, the Milestone-patented blend-back unit is available in 60-, 72-, 84-, 92- and 96-inch widths. years of hard work.
