Today, the staff of our factory came to Yantai, Shandong to install a sweet potato processing line for a new customer. In September last year, Mr. Zhang from Yantai, Shandong also purchased this processing line, so we visited Mr. Zhang with the new customer and went to Take a look at the use of sweet potato sorting lines.
Mr. Zhang first took us to his sweet potato planting base. We heard the roar of the machine, and we saw the hard-working workers picking sweet potatoes. After harvesting, these sweet potatoes will be pulled to the sweet potato warehouse for cleaning, grading and packing, and then shipped to supermarkets in different cities for sale.
Mr. Zhang, a major planter, said that in the past, sweet potatoes were all harvested manually, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Mechanical cleaning is not only difficult to break the skin of sweet potatoes, but also has high sorting efficiency, which effectively reduces the labor intensity of farmers and saves a lot of manpower and time costs. Mr. Zhang planted 10 hectares of sweet potatoes this year. In the past, manual sorting could only sort 2-3 tons per hour, but now it only takes four or five people to operate it, and can sort 6-10 tons per hour.
Mechanized processing has become an accelerator for growers to increase their income, and FstSort helps growers make the sweet potato "sweet business" bigger and bigger.
