Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of customization can processors expect from FAM STUMABO solutions?

Customization includes cut size, shape, throughput capacity, handling of raw material variability, and integration into existing processing lines. This flexibility allows processors to adapt machines to different potato varieties and end products such as fries, chips or specialty cuts.

Customization starts where standard solutions begin to limit your line.

No two potato operations run the same. Whether you produce French fries, chips or other potato products, each comes with its own specs, capacities and line constraints. A fixed setup often forces compromises on cut quality, efficiency or throughput.

FAM STUMABO works backward from your application. That means adapting cutting solutions to your specific product requirements, aligning with upstream and downstream equipment, and fine-tuning performance to match your line conditions. This happens in close collaboration with processors and line builders, so what’s designed actually works in your full process not just in isolation.

This translates into fewer compromises, smoother integration and a solution that fits how your line really runs.

How adaptable are FAM STUMABO solutions to different potato varieties and seasonal variability?

Potato variability shows up where it hurts most: in your cut quality, yield and line stability.

Different varieties and even the same variety across seasons behave differently. Dry matter, size, texture… they all shift. That’s where rigid setups start to struggle: more breakage, uneven cuts, constant readjustments.

FAM STUMABO solutions are designed to handle that variability. Think controlled, precise cutting combined with equipment that allows fast, repeatable adjustments. The goal? Keep your cut consistent, even when your raw material isn’t.

For your team, that means fewer trial-and-error moments, less dependency on operator experience and a line that stays under control as conditions change.

Why has FAM STUMABO maintained strong partnerships for over 40 years?

Because your operation keeps evolving and your cutting solutions need to keep up.

In processing, requirements shift constantly: new product specs, higher capacities, tighter margins. What worked five years ago often needs rethinking today. Long-term partnerships only last if solutions continue to match what’s happening on your line.

FAM STUMABO builds those partnerships by staying close to the application. Not just supplying cutting solutions, but actively working alongside processors, OEMs and line builders to refine and adapt them over time. That co-creation ensures solutions fit the full line context not just a single machine.

For customers, that means fewer surprises at integration, faster problem-solving when conditions change and solutions that keep delivering as your operation evolves.

Can FAM solutions contribute to sustainability goals in processing?

Yes by improving key parameters such as yield or labor efficiency.

Every percentage of product you lose during cutting is waste you’ve already paid for. High- precision cutting solutions help you maximize usable output and reduce fines, breakage, and rework. The result? More saleable product from the same raw potatoes without increasing input.

Labor is another growing constraint. Skilled operators are harder to find and consistency often depends on experience. Solutions like the SureTec 240 equipped with SCU are designed to reduce operator dependency. By simplifying setup and limiting manual adjustments, they help keep performance stable regardless of who is on the line.

In short: less product waste and less reliance on scarce skills while maintaining throughput and cutting quality.
