The Small Piece Remover (SPR) is

an open-bed design machine with

integral frame and endless sizing belt,

used to separate smaller pieces of

product from line flow.

The machine is factory set at a six-

degree slope from infeed to discharge.

The belt uses molded, food-grade

plastic slats with pockets to perform

sizing. Running at a right angle to

product flow, the sizing belt forms

a trough where product travels

through the machine. The rolling

cross-flow movement gently mixes and

encourages product transfer.

Small pieces settle into the plastic

pockets in the belt, are lifted out of

the main product stream, and are

then discharged over the side of the

machine.

edamame \ soy beans, and frozen green beans.

• Small to medium size product that can be sized when

two of three dimensions fit into a sizing pocket and

98 Percent EffectiveThe mixing action ensures that target-size pieces contact

the sizing slats and are removed. Field operation has
