About the Company:
Founded in response to the evolving needs of South African farmers for more advanced mechanisation, Carrotech CC has established itself as a trusted provider of specialised agricultural equipment.
Carrotech’s business strategy remains centred on the customer: whenever farmers present unsatisfied demands for specialised equipment, the company develops purpose-built machinery. It sources quality components from renowned manufacturers worldwide, then integrates them into equipment designed specifically for the region’s conditions and the client’s objectives.
Over the years, Carrotech’s product offering has grown significantly. The company supplies precision planters, in-line rippers and sub-soilers for soil compaction issues, as well as equipment for vegetable and root-crop harvesters.

About the Carrotech Roller Grader:
Carrotech supplies ALLROUND roller grader. I’ve introduced this company and its equipment in our last blog. Click to read more about it.
The roller grader is designed to accurately size fresh produce such as carrots, potatoes, and onions. It operates by gently placing the produce between two rollers that rotate and move forward along a continuous chain system. These rollers are mounted on a series of ramps, where every second roller lifts upward as the machine moves, gradually increasing the gap between it and the adjacent fixed roller.
As the rollers advance, the growing gap allows produce to drop through once it reaches its corresponding size, ensuring precise grading. The sized produce then falls onto a series of cross conveyors, if included in the setup, for easy collection and further processing. This grading method provides a smooth and consistent way to separate produce by size.
Designed for versatility and accuracy, the roller grader is an essential machine for packing and processing facilities that handle a variety of root vegetables and similar products.
