Eurocelp – Intracelp is the solution designed for the internal analysis of potatoes.
It accurately detects defects such as hollow hearts or internal damage and, within a few minutes, provides comprehensive, reliable, and detailed data, ensuring an objective assessment of the internal quality of tubers.

What's New?
Since 2019, EUROCELP has been developing an automated solution for detecting internal defects in potatoes. An initial version was released in 2023. In 2026, a new, faster version was launched; a 10 kg sample can be analysed in under 5 minutes. The system is patented, and an image of each slice is captured at the moment of cutting. Data is provided to customers for each slice, enabling them to reconstruct a 3D model of the tuber showing the exact location of any defects.
Added Value for the User
The quality of the data collected and the level of accuracy are significantly better and can contribute to factory productivity. Intracelp saves technicians and managers considerable time in the laboratory. The machine operates autonomously and is already programmed. Its analysis speed is sufficient to work in real time, even with the largest incoming batches.
Added Value for the Sustainability and Professionalization of the Potato Sector
The results of sample analyses are highly repeatable, far more so than when assessments are carried out visually. This automated defect assessment brings real added value to managing contractual relationships between industry and producers and to improving agronomic practices. It is also particularly valuable for companies operating across multiple sites. Furthermore, the solution is regularly updated to incorporate software improvements.
