The potato waste stream can be upgraded by D-Blade by removing blacks spots from rejected produce and returning the good product back to production, significantly reducing waste and increasing yield.
D-Blade is also capable of creating so called Hasselback potatoes, a relatively new product in the market. Some clients refer to D-Blade as a science fiction machine. The PIP D-Blade is available in different configurations depending on required capacity and functionality.
The basic unit comes with two delta robots, halving/quartering functionality and connectivity for performance and maintenance. When used for removing black spots, D-Blade will significantly reduce the waste stream.
Capacity (delta robots) and functionality (different blades and or software) can be added.
