A fresh-cut, vacuum-packed potato line, like the video on this page, is a PROEX FOOD specialty. Of course, we can support any potato processing needs from simple polishing and bagging all the way through fully-automated frozen french fry lines.
Let’s talk about your specific needs, and how we can support it.
Whether you need a trailer, tote or a bag dumper, we have solutions to get the product started in your line. We also have bunkers and metering hoppers.
A crucial step to optimizing your line and preventing damage to your equipment.
No matter what your supplier says, you need to wash and de-stone. Even small pebbles can create a lot of damage, so we get ahead of that early in your process.
Weather you are brush polishing for bulk, or in some way peeling and/or shaping your potatoes, beet roots, carrots ore more, we have many options.
We have both mechanical and steam peeling technologies, depending on your needs and capacities.
Our engineers always pick the right machinery for your specific application.
No matter if you are looking for a well-lit inspection conveyor, and optical sorter, or other technology, we have solutions. The goal is to ensure quality without adding unnecessary labor.
Halving, quartering, dicing, julienne cuts and more. We support it all.
Yes, packaging is also unique. Simple mesh bags, vacuum-packed, vertical bags, and more. We help you automate and fully integrate your packaging processes.
Don’t go without it. It’s not worth the risk to the end consumers, your buyers or your operation.
These units are more attainable than ever – put one in.
From case packing to palletizing, potatoes are heavy. So, let a robot do the work, so your employees’ backs don’t need to.
