Selection, Packaging and storage SIEVES The size grading of dehydrates is an important function, both in the interests of quality and presentation, and also for the purpose of obtaining the optimum return on products undersize, or less than the standard cut. With almost all cut vegetables and fruits, there will be off-cuts from the dicers or cutters, which can be effectively separated from the primary product by the use of effective sieving machines The recommended type of sieve for all dehydrates, whether wh product, diced, sliced or comminuted, is a high centrifugal force vibratory screen with adjustable amplitude and pitch. The Russell Finex 22 as illustrated in Chapter 5 is ideal for screening potato granules in the final stage of sifting the potato mash powder through a 250 micron or even finer mesh, whilst the Finex 48 Vibro Separator with two decks is highly recommended for the initial stage of screening the blend from the primary dryer, from which point one fraction returns to the mixing plant and the other to the secondary dryer and then to the final screenin The finex 48 a screening vegetables and fruits after bin drying and aspiration(where applicable)and before the final inspection and packing.
