Cleaning and Peeling: Preparing the Potato
Next, the potatoes undergo thorough cleaning using industrial washing machines powered by high-pressure water jets, removing soil and debris with efficiency. The next step is steaming—potatoes are subjected to blast steam at 150°C in steam peelers. This process loosens the skin within seconds, making peeling much faster and more consistent.
AI continues to play a vital role here. Computer vision systems identify and eject any potatoes that don’t meet standards, ensuring uniformity and quality in every batch.
