No hard conveyor belts for these precious potatoes! From the caption: ‘After being singulated and weighed, the potatoes move along in plastic cups until the computer trips the device at the appropriate cross belt.’

‘Each station on the Lectro-Tek sizing machine can be programmed for its own weight (count), and the potatoes that are diverted into the cartons are sized with extreme accuracy.’
