Potato halving system

Ensure precise halving of potatoes and root vegetables at high speed with seamless integration into your processing line, optimizing yield and uniformity with every slice.

Halves and Positions Potatoes and Root Vegetables

The Potato Halving Machine DMC from Sormac is engineered for food processing companies seeking precision in high-speed vegetable preparation. This machine specializes in positioning and halving potatoes and root vegetables, utilizing a rollerbed for alignment across six parallel rows. It integrates a set of rotating circular knives to consistently halve produce, ensuring reliable throughput of approximately 72,000 potatoes per hour. Driven by a frequency-controlled motor, the mechanism supports continuous operation, enhancing integration with existing production lines. Constructed with a stainless steel chain drive and easy disassembly features, it offers durability and simplified maintenance. Ideal for producing potato halves and frozen potato products, the DMC offers flexible integration options with upstream conveyors and downstream grading or weighing systems.
