Fruit Logistica 2025: Groundbreaking Provisur Systems for High-quality Processed Potatoes
At Fruit Logistica, the international fresh fruit trade event that will take place in Berlin, Germany from February 5–7, 2025, Provisur, a significant manufacturer of industrial food processing equipment with its headquarters located in Chicago, Illinois, will showcase a variety of distinctive machinery.
At Hall 2.1, Booth C -13, Provisur will highlight the company’s modular production systems for potato mash and other processed product, showcasing cutting-edge refiners such as the STS, and the Hoegger, among others.
The Soft Tissue Separators (STS) – Ensuring High-Quality End Product Output
STS technologies are ideal for the creation of a wide range of vegetable purees (including potato mash). The STS 2000 is a new refiner that enables higher throughput and quality control for many end products.
“After the operator introduces the product into the refiner, a flexible pressing belt pulls the product through and presses it against a perforated drum. The soft parts then move through the holes of the drum as any hard components such as stones or skin are removed from the outside of the drum by a scraping knife and discarded into a waste chute. The robust design and simple configuration of the equipment make maintenance and cleaning smooth and easy, ensuring hygienic operations,” the company representatives recently announced.
Hoegger PS 2000 and PS 4000: Separating Hard and Soft Particles for Potatoes
The Hoegger separates hard and soft particles for potatoes, and fruit and is used also for pureeing. With the automatic and recipe-controlled regulation of the degree of separation, a reproducible, consistently high-product quality is guaranteed at exceptionally high yields. The machine is operator-friendly, easy to clean, and has very low operating costs.
What makes Hoegger technology so unique is the delta pressure system of sensors. This enables very low pressure which is maintained at a constant level. In combination with complete control of the knife head rotation speed, this results in outstanding product quality.
Through a direct spreader head, the potato mash is discharged onto a conveyor, where it can be cooled down quickly.
