Linde Heftruck | Picture made by PieterA
Nov. 9, 2021 Photo of a Linde E25. My wife busy changing a box under the grader. The truck works as we thought it would. It's a little smoother than the older H25 diesel truck and a little clunkier than the Still electric 2-tonner. Especially the fork adjuster I wouldn't want to miss anymore. I still find one small thing inconvenient: When it is dark, I drive with my lights on. If I don't need the forklift, I have to: either turn the light switch, or turn off the ignition, or accept that the light stays on. I want to take a look at that this winter, because I find it a bit inconvenient (maybe link it to the seat sensor?) The rear work light does go out when getting off the truck. You can link that to the reverse pedal. The peeling and sorting line is as follows: First a bunker where you dump the unpeeled product with the forklift. Then a 2nd bunker with a pinion that neatly doses the product. Then a distribution belt with a shovel pinion that distributes the balls as wide as the peeler. Then the peeling machine. This is a self-assembly peeling machine. The machine is constructed so that we used only parts that are also in van Dijke peeling machines.The biggest challenge was to get the two motors to run synchronously, otherwise the middle roller would jump out. The machine has 32 peeling rollers! and is 2.5 meters wide. After one season of trouble-free running, van Dijke copied the machine and put it into production. I am not sure if they also go up to 2.5 meters, but the drive with the 2 motors works on the same principle . Then the balls fall on 2 peeling machines with 8 rollers, then they go via a bar belt with the possibility to put water on it to a peeling machine with 14 rollers, after which they end up in an intermediate bunker with a self-built elevator (based on the discharge ladder of a Grimme Gz harvester). After the intermediate bunker comes the sorting part. First over a 1-place grader 1.2 meters wide. From there, the half dwith the largest sizes (10 on) goes directly to an old-fashioned double 5-place grader. Liatris sorts hard, so over 2 or 3 plates per size sorting. There are then three boxes under this. 10-12, 12-14 and 14 on. The half with small balls goes to an old-fashioned double 4-plate sorter and is divided there into sizes 0-7, 7-8 and 8-10. We still sort the 0-7 on a separate single 4-plater into 0-5 (trash) 5-6 (to plant ourselves) and 6-7. Most of the waste comes from under the 32-roller. That goes through a belt into a tipping container. The rest of the trash you have to keep up a bit with the pitchfork. Also, sometimes bulbs jump off the graders and, of course, you have to embark bulbs and dispose of cubic crates of bulbs.
