Application and Working Principle

The wet hopper is designed for handling peeled potatoes and processed products such as:

  • potato wedges
  • potato strips (7×7 mm, 14×14 mm)

The product is fed via a belt conveyor into the hopper, where a water environment is maintained to:


  • prevent oxidation
    • preserve natural color
    • extend shelf life and maintain product appearance

From the hopper, the product is conveyed to a weighing unit, where accurate weighing and packaging into customer containers (bags) takes place.

Key Benefits

  • Preservation of product quality through a controlled wet environment
    • Full automation of conveying and weighing processes
    • High productivity — up to 1200 kg/h
    • Reduced labor costs and human error
    • Hygienic design — stainless steel AISI 304
    • Easy integration into existing processing lines
    • Simple cleaning and maintenance

This makes the system an excellent choice for companies seeking food processing automation equipment for potatoes and other wet products.
