Technical note

Size the washing duty around soil, not just roots

Seasonal soil load changes washing water, foreign-material separation, drainage and downtime.

Describe the incoming lot

Root intake in kilograms per hour is only one input. Record whether soil is dry, sandy or sticky, how much debris arrives with the roots and whether loads contain broken or unusually shaped material. A clean sample cannot represent the difficult part of the season.

Separate three tasks

Washing releases soil; a specified destoner separates the foreign material it was designed for; inspection rejects unsuitable product or residual objects. The three operations have different acceptance criteria. A clean-looking root does not prove every foreign-body hazard is controlled.

Follow the removed material

Provide a route for sediment, stones and rejected roots. Define screening, sludge removal, water replacement and cleaning access. An inaccessible collection point can become the practical bottleneck even when the product conveyor is fast enough.
