FAM Glide

FAM Glide turns a defective potato strip into a good product using a simple mechanical cutting method. This high-performing strip cutter removes the black spots and brown eyes often found at the ends of fries in a continuous operation. The system increases yield by as much as 60-70% of the strips rejected from the line.

Applications

The Glide cuts defective French fry strips into two or more pieces, with an adjustable first cut size from 10 to 25 mm (3/16 – 1”) and a further fixed cut size. The cutting blade can be adjusted between 60 and 100 mm (2 3/8” and 3 7/8”) to adapt to the length of the potato strips fed to the machine
