<\/p>\n
During industrial potato processing, one of the main challenges is rapid oxidation of peeled or cut products. Within minutes of exposure to air, potatoes begin to darken and lose their marketable appearance.<\/p>\n
For manufacturers, this means:<\/p>\n
increased waste<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
unstable product quality<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
packaging difficulties<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
brand reputation risks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The issue becomes critical in high-capacity production lines.<\/p>\n
\u201cZelena Guild\u201d approached KONSORT with the objective to:<\/p>\n
preserve potato color after cutting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
ensure hygienic transportation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
integrate weighing and packaging<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
achieve up to 1200 kg\/hour throughput<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A key requirement was avoiding chemical additives.<\/p>\n
When peeled or cut, potato cells are exposed to oxygen, triggering enzymatic oxidation of polyphenols.<\/p>\n
In practice:<\/p>\n
discoloration begins within 5\u201310 minutes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
open conveyors accelerate the process<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
even high-quality raw material loses visual appeal<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A wet hopper with conveyor and integrated weighing system was implemented.<\/p>\n
The product remains submerged in water after cutting, minimizing oxygen exposure and preventing oxidation without chemicals.<\/p>\n
Capacity: up to 1200 kg\/hour<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Product formats: wedges, fries 7\u00d77 and 14\u00d714 mm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Construction: AISI 304 stainless steel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
L-shaped belt conveyor with frequency control<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Weighing range: 0.5\u20134 kg<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Load cells and pneumatic packaging system<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Closed housing for easy cleaning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
stable product color<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
reduced waste<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
controlled weighing process<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
seamless integration into existing line<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A wet hopper with conveyor and weighing system is an effective industrial solution for processors of peeled and cut potatoes who aim to preserve product appearance without compromising speed or quality.<\/p>\n
