  • We talk a lot about potato chips and French fries, but our equipment also processes carrots for high-quality baby carrots, match sticks, and other carrot products. From washing and scrubbing to hydrocutting, our equipment is built for: 🥕 High Volume – automatic continuous processing increases throughput and capacity 🥕 Improved Sanitation – mostly tool-less changeouts and minimal moving parts on our stainless steel machines help keep your operation clean 🥕 Reduced TCO – our machines run durably for years and decades. Limited wear parts protect your long-term bottom line We support carrot processors with installation, training, and field service to help keep equipment and your operation running.

  • Our facility in Bengaluru, India, recently built and delivered a Compact Hydrocutter System for a local frozen potato manufacturer to cut potatoes for French fries and other frozen products. The three-piece system includes a pump, cutter, and dewatering conveyor in a compact 20-foot footprint to cut and process high volumes of food like French fries, cucumbers, peppers, and more. And because it was built locally, the processor avoided shipping delays and tariffs. We couldn’t do it without our partners at mtsfoods.

  • Did you know we custom-configure rolls for every Peeler/Scrubber/Washer we sell? Because every application requires the right set to perform the way you need it to. We consider your product, flow rate, level of peel, and the model peeler to determine the mix of rolls. And most of the time, they are a mix of these types in the same bed. ⚫ Brushes—wash, peel, scrub, and remove dirt and debris without losing yield ⚫ Coated Abrasive—peel, polish, and rough scrub, leaving a smooth surface ⚫ Lift Roll—tumble the product and separate solids while keeping the chamber clean after steam peeling ⚫ Rubber Pintle—collect loose residue after steam peeling to keep the peeler clean ⚫ Sinewave Segment—mechanically timed to synchronize segment movement to abrasively peel odd-shaped products

  • Batch or continuous operation processing equipment? If you’re on the fence, here’s a comparison rundown. CONTINUOUS OPERATION ➕ High volume throughput ➕ Lower labor requirements ➕ Consistent quality and performance ➕ Less storage and holding ➖ Higher initial investment BATCH PROCESSING ➕ Traceability and quality control ➕ Flexibility ➕ Lower initial investment ➖ Additional labor ➖ Downtime between batches It doesn’t have to be an either/or decision. Mix and match continuous and batch equipment lines to get the right balance for your business.
