MANUFACTURER HIGHLIGHTS EASE OF USE AND HIGH CAPACITY QUALITIES FOR POTATO PRODUCT SUPPLIERS
FAM STUMABO, a Belgian manufacturer, has launched a new cutting machine for cutting potatoes into French fries.
The SureTec 240P is specially designed for potato processing and can cut or dice while running at high capacities.
The cutting machine features the SureCut Unit (SCU) which allows the cutting components to be pre-assembled in one piece and with a preset cut size. The manufacturer says this allows even non-technically trained operators to install the cutting tools on the machine in a very fast, uncomplicated and error-free manner, assuring cutting accuracy from the very first moment of every new production run, thereby maximising production uptime.
Further advantages of the machine are the slipper clutch and slip detection system to avoid expensive downtimes and prevent the parts from severe damage or wear owing to foreign objects, while the hinged electrical cabinet guarantees faster access to the drive area.
The SureTec 240P was designed to process both white and sweet potatoes, whether abrasive or steam-peeled. Potatoes can be processed into French fries, small sticks and dice. A variety of cut sizes and shapes are available which include crinkle, deep crinkle and flat French fries.
The 240 mm wide drum is an essential requirement if long potatoes are to be cut at full length. A variety of impellers with a different number of paddles are available to suit different size products and to align them properly.
