Fuma supplied a French fries production line for a customer in Algeria, with a processing capacity of 5 tons of potatoes per hour. The line was planned around the customer’s required output and a finished pack weight of 5 kg per bag.
Potatoes first pass through washing and peeling to remove soil and skins. They are then cut into fries and blanched before weighing and packaging. Bringing these steps together in one line gives the customer a continuous process from raw potato preparation through to packed product.
Cutting can leave starch on the surface of the fries. The process design took this into account, with the aim of reducing starch residue after cutting and helping preserve product freshness. Fuma’s team drew on more than 19 years of experience designing food processing lines to develop the solution for this project.
