Tummers Methodic
Iedere aardappel die de industrie als frietje of ander product wil verwerken moet helemaal schoon gewassen zijn. Tot nu toe kiezen de meeste frietverwerkers ervoor hun aardappelen op de fabriek te wassen. Dit heeft tot gevolg dat ze grote bergen grond moeten afzetten en dat ze flink in waterzuivering moeten investeren.

Bij chipsbakker Frito Lay leveren de telers moemnteel alle aardappelen al gewassen aan, weet hein Kortebos van Tummers, een bedrijf dat ondermeer wasmachines voor de agrarische sector, kleinverpakking en industrie levert. Dirk van Driel is eigenaar van zo'n wsmachine. Onder de bedrijfsnaam Mobiwas is hij  al ruim een jaar op pad met een mobiele uitvoering hiervan. Hij wast hiermee aardappelen op het boerenbedrijf, voordat ze op transport naar de fritesindustrie gaan.

Het wassen bij de boer heeft volgens Van Driel grote voordelen "Als eerste is het zo dat de tarra bij de boer blijft. Dat betekent dat er in een vracht meer aardappelen zitten, zodat er minder transport npodig is om een schuur leeg te draaien. Als de aardappelen een maal op de fabriek arriveren, blijft de aardappelontvangst schoner en zijn er minder problemen met stof bij de aardappelontvangst. Ook de waterzuivering wordt minder belast. De teler brengt zijn product dus tot meerwaarde", meent Van Driel.

Key Technology Inc
Key Technology introduces Manta® for frozen potato products. Featuring Vis/IR (visible infrared) cameras and Raptor laser technology along with new, proprietary high intensity LED lighting, high flow ejector valves, and three-way ejection capability, this large capacity sorter, located immediately prior to packaging, assures final product is free of foreign material (FM) and objectionable process-generated material. With this new application, potato processors can now automate inspection of frozen product at the end of the production line to improve food safety and product quality while reducing labor costs.

Locating Manta at the end of the potato processing line helps assure the safety and quality of final product while simultaneously achieving additional benefits associated with improved process control and length control.

Adding Key’s new optional three-way sorting capability to Manta allows processors to produce a higher quality product without losing valuable product to the waste stream or requiring additional sorting for rework product. With three-way sorting, processors can send foreign material and critical defects to the first reject stream and convey this to waste without re-sorting or losing valuable yield. The second reject stream can receive short pieces and non-critical defects that can be reworked and recovered while the pass stream accepts only good product that matches production specifications.
