II. Temporary Holding
After the process berries were weighted, sampled and finally color graded, they were finally moved to one of the five Kiwanee dumpers which had rapidly moving belt conveyors. The berries were taken to one of the 27 temporary holding bins (bins 1-24 held 250 bbls. and bins 25-27 held 400 bbls. each) which were controlled from a central control panel. Although it usually took 5~10 minutes for a truck to empty the contents and leave, some trucks had to wait 3 hours since temporary holding bins became easily full and there were no other places to temporarily store berries. Anyway, once the bins were opened, the berries were on their way for destoning, dechaffing, drying, milling and bulk loading or bagging operations.
III. Destoning, Dechaffing, and Drying
Water harvested berries were held in bins 25-27 and bins 17-24 held either wet or dry berries. Since water harvested berries did not need destoning, they went straight towards one of the three dechaffing units (holding up to 1500 bbls. per hour each). Then, these wet berries were taken to drying units at different rates for those expected to be loaded into bulk trucks (200 bbls. per hour per dryer) and for those that were expected to be bagged (150 bbls. per hour per dryer). The latter ones had to be much drier since they could stick together when frozen because the bags would dry up all the moist. The other dry berries were held in bins 1-16. They would go through one of the three destoning units (processing up to 1500 bbls.) and then go to the dechaffing units. In all, wet berries would be processed through dryer-included system and dry berries would be processed through other machines which frequently made both berries process at the same time through the system.
IV. Milling – Quality Grading
After the berries were destoned, dechaffed and dried they were sent to one of the three takeaway conveys (feed conveyors) and were sent to the third level of the adjoining separator building where the nine jumbo separators were. The jumbo separators classified the berries into first quality berries,
