Precision quality control for potato and vegetable cutting
Optimize cutting precision and improve product quality by instantly measuring and adjusting the cutting force for vegetables and tubers, identifying seasonal variations, and fine-tuning treatment conditions to achieve consistent results across your production line.
Measures Cutting Force and Enhances Quality Control
The Elea Cut Control System is an innovative tool crafted for precision and efficiency in food processing operations. Seamlessly integrating into industrial production lines, this system measures cutting force to optimize PEF (Pulsed Electric Field) treatment conditions, ensuring consistent product quality across various applications, including potato chips, French fries, and vegetable snacks. Designed with a robust stainless steel and anodized aluminum construction, the Cut Control system offers essential features such as portable operation, instant test results, and flexible process adjustments. Its pneumatic pressure sensor identifies optimal PEF treatment intensity, enhancing product yield by minimizing seasonal variations in produce firmness. With dimensions of 610 x 240 x 210 mm and weighing just 15 kg, the device is easily transportable, complete with a protective storage case. Compliance with CE certification ensures safe operations, while its low energy requirement underscores cost-effectiveness compared to traditional texture analyzers. Ideal for quality control labs and process control in food and beverage industries, the Elea Cut Control System supports customizable cutting grid options to meet diverse processing needs, backed by Elea’s comprehensive engineering support for optimal performance.
