Cyclone destoner
The cyclone destoner is used to remove stones and clay shells. Gradients and flow rates determine the optimal result. Among the many distinguishing features of the cyclone destoner are a reliable stainless-steel pump, a 5-mm thick cone and an optional wear resistant polyurethane layer for better performance. A practical and reliable system that delivers results with no-nonsense technology. The system is available in different capacities, up to 70 tons per hour.
Drum washer
The drum washer will remove soil, clay, and sand from the potatoes through the principle of mutual friction. Steel strips alternately positioned on the surface of the direct driven drum and on either side contain smooth and trim edges. This means that no unevenness will damage the potato. This washer's excellent access means it's easy to maintain. Naturally, the device also reduces your water consumption.

STRATA Invicta
By offering maximum yields at the shortest cycle time, STRATA Invicta sets a new standard in steam peeling systems. The potatoes are peeled with a blade thinner than any other machine, where only the skin is removed, leaving the cooking rings untouched. Fast, accurate and reliable, the STRATA Invicta® will really steam things up in your potato processing line.
Dry Brush Machine
Dry brush machines are used to remove the potato peel after steam peeling. A rotating brush will make sure that the smooth surface of the peeled potato remains intact. The gear-drive system is strong, durable, wear-proof and automatic to ensure vibration-free, wear-proof and fault-free operation. This will make maintenance episodes extremely short and easy to manage, resulting in minimal cleaning and maintenance intervals.
PeelGuard
PeelGuard is an optical measuring and weighing instrument that detects residual peels and the presence of dark, green or black spots. This machine will ensure optimum monitoring during the final stage of peeling. PeelGuard increases yield of the final product by compensating for changes in peel thickness or peel definition. This way, the results are tailored to your specific needs, therefore making the most of your potatoes.

Potato Sorter
With the potato sorter, you will be able to sort peeled potatoes using their diameter. The potatoes are sorted depending on their size using conical rollers fitted with increasing pitches and multiple adjusted valves. This working procedure will prevent products from being retained in the sorter and to maintain a smooth sorting process.
Quadra Flow
Quadra Flow's many benefits range from fantastic results on French fries, wedges, and slices, to easy operation and user-friendliness. With an exchanger, the knife block can also be changed in minutes, ensuring great quality and a stable process. Blockages may be removed without stopping the process altogether and any additional tools will not be needed. Thanks to the use of stainless-steel pumps and the use of minimum mechanics, maintenance and water usage have also been greatly reduced.
KnifeGuard
Kiremko KnifeGuard is an innovative knife identification system specifically designed for the QuadraFlow hydro cutter. Using RFID tags, an internal hydro cutter is programmed to detect whether it has the correct combination of the inlet, knife block, and outlet for the selected size of the cut. KnifeGuard keeps track of how long the knife block has been working, guaranteeing the best possible quality of French fries.

-
Sliver Remover
This sliver remover will remove as much as 98% of the cutting residue on your product. The stainless steel used for the fabrication of this machine makes it low maintenance and corrosion-resistant. The roller drive has been hermetically sealed on the inside to prevent any contamination. The sliver remover is also constantly adjustable, and its high level of accuracy is determined largely by the diameter and rotation speed of its rollers.
Length grader
With the French fry length grader, you can arrange the French fries in one, two, or three layers of different lengths to suit the end product you wish for. The vibration chute is provided with two decks of interchangeable sieves that determine the accuracy of sorting. The unbalance motors are responsible for ensuring that the product is transported and sorted properly by manipulating vibrations within the motors.

-
Screw type blancher
French fries, potato flakes, potato mash, and screw blanchers can all be produced with this type of blancher. We offer a variety of screw blancher types and sizes. Intense pump systems ensure an equal distribution of temperature, and product outfeed can be carried out by a ferris wheel, whether it is driven separately, by a pump, or by a screw. There is a solution that is perfectly suited to each application.
-
-
Dryer
The belt dryer transports the product within a conditioned environment, where heated air provides control and equal drying. Freshly blanched hot product enters the belt dryer where it is dried by air circulation to prepare for the next step in the process. Achieving the right drying degree is a challenging but controllable process. The result will be an even and consistent product outfeed, which is necessary for your frying process.

Coating preparation system
The Kiremko coating preparation system prepares and conditions the batter for usage in the coating application line. By mixing ingredients in a well-balanced ratio and keeping them in the best conditions, the systems ensures an homogeneous batter. A multiple-tank system ensures ripening, settling, and distribution of batter. The temperature and viscosity are continually monitored and optimized.
Coating enrobing system
The coating enrobing system consists of an applicator which covers the products from top and bottom with coating. For thicker batter there is an option for a submerging system for better coverage. A number of drip-off belts equipped with air knives remove excessive batter from the product. The coating enrobing system uses a special conveyor belt with bars to avoid carry-over of batter from the applicator.
