Potatoes questions
Steam or abrasive peeling for potatoes?
Steam peeling is standard on high-volume fry lines because peel loss is low and consistent. Abrasive peeling suits smaller lines and chips. See steam vs abrasive.
Can you replace just our peeler?
Yes. The steam peeler replacement program replaces aging peelers from any manufacturer.
Do you build small potato lines?
Yes. Fry and chips lines are built from small to very large, sized to the plant.
