Potato halving and quartering solution
Enhance efficiency in potato processing with a machine engineered to precisely halve, quarter, and wedge, ensuring uniform cuts and seamless integration into high-speed operations.
Cuts and Aligns Potatoes into Uniform Segments
The DMA-90 from Sormac is an engineered-to-order potato cutting machine designed to enhance efficiency in the food processing and potato processing industries. This machine specializes in aligning and cutting potatoes into halves, quarters, or wedges, making it essential for producing consistent and precise potato products. The DMA-90 operates on a reliable frequency drive system, utilizing self-aligning rollers to ensure accurate centering before cutting potatoes into uniform segments with varied knife configurations.
With a throughput capacity of 32,000 potatoes per hour at 70% fill, or approximately 2,500 kg per hour with 80-gram potatoes, this equipment is ideal for high-speed operations. Its user-friendly design includes easy mounting and de-mounting of cutting knives, along with hygiene-focused construction for sanitation compliance. Offering options such as bypass and collection belts, and various knife units, the DMA-90 can be integrated seamlessly into existing processing lines, serving as a versatile solution for pre-processing and main processing stages in potato and vegetable cutting environments.
