Key Features of the Kiremko French Fry Line
Advanced Pre-Cleaning System
The process begins with efficient potato cleaning and destoning systems that remove soil, stones, clay, and defective potatoes before further processing. Kiremko uses optimized water flow technology and specially designed rinse basins to ensure clean raw material input while minimizing water consumption.
High-Efficiency Steam Peeling
Kiremko’s steam peeling technology is one of the most advanced in the potato industry. The STRATA Invicta steam peeler removes only the potato skin while preserving the valuable inner potato flesh. This significantly improves yield and reduces waste. The peeling system is designed for low energy consumption, easy maintenance, and continuous high-capacity operation.
Precision Cutting Technology
The QuadraFlow hydro cutter delivers highly accurate cutting results for French fries, wedges, and potato slices. Its advanced knife system ensures uniform fry dimensions, smooth operation, and minimal product damage. Quick-change knife blocks and RFID-based KnifeGuard technology further improve production accuracy and quality control.
Intelligent Sorting and Quality Control
The line includes multiple sorting technologies to maintain premium product quality. Optical inspection systems detect peel remnants, dark spots, and defects, while sliver removers eliminate cutting residue. Length graders classify fries according to size and shape requirements, ensuring consistent final products for commercial and retail markets.
Optimized Blanching and Drying
Kiremko blanchers carefully control temperature and blanching time to improve texture, colour, shelf life, and frying performance. The drying systems use controlled heated airflow to reduce surface moisture before frying, helping produce crispier fries while improving energy efficiency through heat recovery systems.
Advanced Coating Solutions
For coated French fries, Kiremko provides complete batter preparation and coating application systems. These systems allow manufacturers to create fries with enhanced crispiness, extended heat retention, and customized flavours using herbs, spices, or starch coatings. The coating process ensures even application while minimizing batter loss.
Revolutionary Frying Technology
The CORDA Invicta fryer is one of Kiremko’s flagship innovations. Developed through extensive research and testing, this fryer reduces oil usage by up to 30% while maintaining superior frying performance. The fryer features a compact hygienic design, reduced maintenance requirements, improved sustainability, and lower operational costs.
Hygienic Product Handling
The line includes advanced conveying and product handling systems designed to transport potatoes and fries safely between processing stages. Stainless-steel construction, enclosed conveyors, and hygienic designs ensure food safety while minimizing product damage and maintenance needs.
