Radial grader
The radial grader is designed for grading. The product is transported and rotated over rollers. The distance between the rollers increases, so as the product is being transported, it will fall from small to large between the rollers. The product falls onto a belt which continues transportation. Several belts are mounted for several grading sizes. Adjustable angles are mounted to get the size faster and give product more time to drop on the belt.
