Eberhard Link prefers knife peeled potatoes over carborundum.

The citizens of Lauffen am Neckar in Baden-Württemberg do not need to be told what the true essence of life is.

In surroundings of stunning natural beauty, the marvellous harvests of grapes have been used to make leading fine wines for centuries.

Life is lived and enjoyed to the full here.

So it is not surprising that Eberhard Link has mastered the art of the exceptional combination of potatoes and wine.

Sormac are not wine specialists, but fortunately are specialised in ingenious ways of peeling potatoes – and that’s something they are very glad about in Lauffen am Neckar.

The MS-Combi knife peeler is suitable to peel pre-cleaned potatoes. Together with a screw de-stoner type SO, a roller inspection table type RLT and the AFW-40 weighing machine, this peeler creates a complete potato peeling line. Lauffen is ready for the new potato.

Exit carborundum

And it is not only the consumer who will enjoy the result of these changes. The potatoes will also notice the difference. Mr Link confirms the trend that growing numbers of small and medium sized peeling companies are switching to knife peeling and closing the door on the era of carborundum forever. And that includes Eberhard Link. Consumers appear to find more favour with knife peeled potatoes than with carborundum peeled ones. Knife peeled potatoes look far nicer. And an added advantage is the longer shelf life, which is of course fantastic news for the end users!

Mr Link made a very deliberate choice for a new peeling method and a new potato peeling line. Thanks to the innovative developments introduced by Sormac, Link is fully prepared to fulfil the demands of the critical customers. In Baden-Württemberg they can delight to the utmost in the joys of the good life, good wine and … the honest and tasty potato. Bon appétit !
