Abstract
POTATO, A PLANT THAT IS USEFUL IN THE HUMAN DIET, IN THE ANIMAL FORAGE AND FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING, IS BEING CONDITIONED MAINLY THROUGH THE OPERATIONS OF SORTING AND SIZING. IN THIS PAPER, THERE ARE ANALYZED COMPARATIVE THE MACHINES FOR POTATO SORTING AND SIZING OF THE MAIN FIRMS THAT PRODUCE EQUIPMENT FROM THE POTATO INDUSTRY, USING THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDY AND DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS (THE DIAGRAM AND THE BOXPLOT TECHNIQUE) AND MULTIVARIATE METHODS (THE ANALYSIS IN MAIN COMPONENTS). THERE ARE BEING ESTABLISHED THE ACTUAL TENDENCIES OF THE SORTING AND S IZING TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE POTATO AND THERE IS DONE A CLASSIFICATION OF THE MAIN TYPES OF POTATO SORTING MACHINES, ON THE BASIS OF THE TECHNICAL DATA THAT REFER TO THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY, THE NECESSARY SPACE AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER.
