The popularity of Haith’s root veg polisher has been confirmed on its 20th birthday with the company that bought the very first model taking delivery of the latest machine to run off the company’s South Yorkshire production line.
The UK’s leading supplier of vegetable handling machinery installed its first root veg polisher at Strawson Ltd’s Nottinghamshire site in 2004. Two decades later, Haith’s engineers returned to Bilsthorpe to commission Strawson’s latest root veg polisher, which has been installed as part of a brand-new receiving, cleaning, washing, and trimming line.
Since introducing the patented machine, Haith has sold over 500 root vegetable polishers. Today, they can be found on almost every continent, polishing potatoes, carrots, parsnips, beetroot, and celeriac.
“We are very pleased to be making the 20th anniversary of the Haith root veg polisher that little bit more special,” says Harry Strawson, director of Strawson Ltd. “Our site has practically all Haith machinery, and over the last two decades, the polishers have been incredibly reliable and efficient. They’ve certainly helped us deliver an excellent product to our customers.”
Duane Hill, Haith’s managing director, adds: “We take great pride in developing vegetable handling solutions that people can trust. I believe the Root Veg polisher is the most efficient on the market. In addition to being low maintenance, it can add value as its brush polishing system removes surface blemishes and grit from the eyes and indentations, thereby increasing yields by up to 15%. We’re delighted to have marked twenty years of supplying the root veg polisher.”
