Introducing the RotaTip PRO: A New Era of Technology
Haith has introduced the RotaTip PRO and an innovative box stacking module in addition to the Quanta Fill box filler, which was unveiled at the U.S. Potato Expo in January 2024.
The Quanta Fill has a unique in-feed conveyor that gently layers the crop into a buffer bunker, which is subsequently lowered into the box. The active discharge doors then open, transferring the crop into the box and lifting it as it fills. The technique guarantees that the box’s weight is never raised and that the machine is not put under pressure, reducing fatigue and preventing damage to both the machine and the box. The new box handling feature enables the operator to load stacks of empty boxes into the machine, which are then automatically de-stacked and transferred to the filling module. After filling, the boxes are re-stacked so that the operator may remove them from the line.
“Haith is also offering box stacking and de-stacking as part of its 2024 RotaTip box tippler upgrades,” according to a recent press release.
The company’s revolutionary box stacking and de-stacking capabilities are available as add-on modules for the RotaTip PRO box tippler, considerably speeding up the box handling process and reducing forklift movements.
The RotaTip PRO, the newest version of the RotaTip, now has a new all-electric box clamping mechanism that keeps the box in place while spinning and can handle boxes ranging in height from 900 to 1200mm. The most recent design is thinner than prior iterations, allowing it to be carried using a conventional HGV trailer. Haith’s newest design has forklift compartments, making it easier to install or relocate. The company’s engineers have also enhanced the accessibility of the primary electric drive, positioning it at a low level to facilitate maintenance.

“With nearly 200 RotaTip box tipplers in use worldwide, the RotaTip is an incredibly popular machine. We are always looking to make life easier and more efficient for our customers, and these innovations will do just that. By introducing box stacking and de-stacking to both the RotaTip PRO and the Quanta Fill, users will operate more efficiently and with fewer forklift movements, something many of our customers have said they would benefit from,” Duane Hill, Haith’s managing director, mentioned.
