Whether acquiring or upgrading frying equipment, steam peelers or packaging machinery, manufacturers are ready to offer their latest innovation to help processors achieve their best potential.

In this edition of the Potato Business Dossier, we take a look at the various technological developments in processing equipment that can help streamline production, reduce waste and energy use, as well as promote a more sustainable and efficient operation.

For example, the implementation of continuous PEF pre-treatment in the chips processing industry can soften the tuber and enable the use of new raw material and new cuts. In addition, a smoother cut with less breakage and starch leakage can lead to higher yield and less oil absorption.

Also, steam peeling has become an important process in a turnkey potato processing solution, being the preferred peeling method for the French fry industry and becoming a standard method for fresh peeled potatoes, pasteurized potatoes and the flake industry.

The end-stage packaging process has also seen tremendous advancements in recent years, both on the software side, with smart features, AI and connectivity, as well as on the hardware side, with increased speed and accuracy.
