Key Factors That Affect Potato Grader Prices

Factor

How It Affects Price

Capacity (tons/hour)

Higher capacity = larger frame, more rollers, higher cost

Material

Stainless steel (304) costs more than carbon steel – essential for wet washing lines

Grading adjustability

Adjustable roller gaps (20-120mm) cost more than fixed sizes

Automation (elevator included?)

Machine with feeding elevator costs more than hopper-only feeding

Number of grades (exits)

More grades = longer machine, more takeout belts – higher cost


Why a Potato Grader Costs More Than Manual Sorting?

A mechanical potato grader is an upfront investment, but it provides value that manual sorting cannot match:
