Potato harvester
Potato harvester is an agricultural machinery designed specifically for potato harvesting, which can replace traditional manual excavation, greatly improve harvesting efficiency, and reduce labor intensity. It is the core equipment for large-scale potato planting.
1. High efficiency: Mechanized harvesting is fast and efficient, several times more efficient than manual harvesting.
2. Low damage: Through flexible conveyor belts and adjustable vibration frequency, the potato breakage rate can be controlled within 5%.
3. Strong adaptability: It can operate in plots with high soil moisture but not muddy, avoiding delays in the harvest period due to weather changes.
4. Cost saving: These machines have a simple structure and low maintenance costs. After proper adjustment, they can minimize potato damage. In the long run, they are more economical than manual harvesting.

Operate Tips
Before harvesting potatoes, you should inspect all components of the machine and adjust the working depth and speed appropriately. Ensure that the soil is dry and loose to facilitate effective separation.Prepare the field by removing stones, crop residues, and other debris to prevent damage to the digging blades. During operation, adjust the digging depth according to the potato variety and soil hardness to avoid missing tubers or cutting them. After the job is done, promptly clean off any remaining soil, tubers, and vines. Regularly lubricate chains, bearings, and other key parts, and take anti-rust and moisture-proof measures during storage to ensure long-term durability and performance of your machine.
Applications
Potato harvesters are widely used in medium to large-scale potato farms, agricultural cooperatives, and farming service providers. They are especially well-suited for semi-mechanized operations in hilly and mountainous regions. Additionally, these machines can be effectively used in crop rotation areas for harvesting other tuber crops such as sweet potatoes and taro, providing efficient and reliable performance across multiple harvesting scenarios.

FAQ
A potato harvester is a machine that harvests potatoes. It pulls the potatoes from the stalks and transfers them along with the soil to a sieve, where the loose soil is sieved out.
Put the newly dug potatoes in a cool, ventilated place with moderate temperature and high humidity for one to ten days to dry them. This will extend the shelf life of the potatoes. After drying, slowly lower the storage temperature to around 40-46 degrees Fahrenheit (about 4-6 degrees Celsius) for consumption.
Yes, leaving potatoes in the ground for too long can cause problems such as rotting and sprouting. The best time to harvest potatoes is when the leaves have died down, and they can be left in the ground for a few weeks after that. However, if potatoes are left in the ground for too long, especially in warm weather or moist soil, it can cause them to rot or sprout.
