The entire system is controlled easily by intuitive touch screens.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Halo comes in four sizes ranging from 20 to 80 inch belt widths to accommodate 10 to over 50 tons per hour for potatoes.
