From Single Machines to Full Optical Grading and Processing Lines, Delivered with the Same Care, Engineering Expertise, and Industry Experience

RPS Machinery provides independent advice, machinery supply, and full installation support for optical grading, washing, and fresh produce processing systems. We advise on and supply machinery and retrofit fitting kits for soil cleaners and camera grading systems, and regularly extend existing production lines with additional grading stages, increased washing capacity, and alternative product streams.

We specialise in optical grading solutions for potatoes, onions, carrots, brassica crops, and other fresh produce, covering both washed and unwashed product. Our grading systems assess size, shape, colour, and surface defects using advanced camera-based inspection technology designed for high-throughput processing environments.

With over 25 years of industry experience, starting hands-on at shop-floor level and progressing through decades of machinery and technology development, we bring a practical understanding of how grading, washing, and handling systems perform under real operating conditions. Our global exposure to manufacturers and technologies across intake, washing, grading, and mechanical handling systems gives us a broader and more practical perspective than typical supplier-led advice.

We operate on a fully manufacturer-neutral basis across optical grading and mechanical processing equipment. Our recommendations are based solely on performance, longevity, suitability, system integration, and return on investment, never brand preference. This allows us to specify the most appropriate equipment combinations, whether upgrading existing lines or delivering complete processing solutions.

Every system we specify is designed for reliable real-world performance, helping processors reduce waste, improve pack quality, and maximise return on investment. We focus on machinery and processing systems that deliver consistent results day in, day out not just theoretical performance on paper.
