The idea behind the Evolution was born out of necessity. At the time, the root crop industry was working with systems that were outdated, inefficient, and often caused unnecessary damage to crops. Growers needed something better. Scotts listened and responded with a solution that combined gentle handling with effective cleaning. From that moment on, the Evolution Separator has set a new benchmark in the industry, transforming the way crops are cleaned both on farms and in factories.

Since its launch, the Evolution has continued to develop. Now in its second generation, the latest model uses direct drive motors in place of the original chain drive, bringing improved performance, reduced maintenance and even greater reliability. This commitment to constant improvement is one of the reasons the Evolution can now be found working in farms and factories across the globe, proving time and again that it is a machine growers can depend on.

 

The landmark 1,000th machine has been delivered to a British grower, highlighting the strong loyalty and trust Scotts continues to enjoy in its home market as well as overseas.

 

The success of the Evolution Separator has been central to Scotts' growth as a company. Demand for the machine has seen the factory size double in recent years, and the team now numbers around 25 staff, a dedicated group of people whose skill and hard work have made this achievement possible. Further expansion plans are already underway as the business looks to the future.

 

Derek Scott, Managing Director of Scotts Precision Manufacturing, reflected on the milestone:

"This is more than just a number, it's a moment that makes us pause and look back at the journey. When we launched the Evolution Separator in 2005, we wanted to give growers something that genuinely made their lives easier, their crops cleaner, and their businesses more

efficient. To see 1,000 machines now out in the world, helping farmers and processors every day, is humbling. None of this would have been possible without the trust of our customers, who put their faith in us, and the dedication of our team here at Scotts, who pour their energy and expertise into every machine we build. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together."

 

Looking ahead, Scotts remains committed to driving innovation. The company is already working on the next exciting chapter of the Evolution Separator, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of modern agriculture and food production for years to come. With deep gratitude for the past and strong ambition for the future, Scotts is ready to continue building on the legacy of the Evolution.
