Formed mash processing line for potato products
Optimize your potato processing with this versatile line, designed for high-efficiency conversion of raw potatoes into a variety of formed mash products, ensuring superior product quality and consistency while minimizing waste.
Processes Potatoes into Formed Mash Products
The Formed Mash Line from Kiremko is engineered to seamlessly convert raw potatoes into a variety of formed mash products such as croquettes and rösti rounds. Utilizing an integrated multi-stage system, the process begins with pre-cleaning using cyclone destoners and drum washers, moving through precision steam peeling and cutting using the STRATA Invicta and FAM Tridis™ 240P for optimal size and shape. Following peeling, screw type blanchers and coolers ensure even temperature control for starch retrogradation. High-volume steam cookers efficiently boil the potatoes, which are then mashed and separated by the Hoegger separator to remove any impurities or color defects.
Suitable for potato processing and snack production, the line integrates fully automated operations managed by PLC controls, optimizing throughput up to 70 tons per hour with minimal operator intervention. The EcoMiser™ fryer reduces oil usage and improves energy efficiency, while CIP systems make maintenance straightforward and contamination-free. Kiremko’s equipment is crafted from durable materials like stainless steel with wear-resistant coatings, ensuring longevity in challenging production environments. Customization options are available to align with specific production needs, supported by Kiremko’s engineering expertise.
