tna conti cut hydro cutting system for french fries

The tna conti cut is a hydro cutting system for french fries that uses ‘switcher’ technology to boost capacity, efficiency and uptime for users processing french fries.

The switcher technology can deliver many benefits. It can drive efficiency, productivity, reduced waste and uptime with designated alignment tubes and integrated knife blocks. Both are exchangeable, depending on the final product to be processed and potato size used.

The system is designed to achieve the longest cut size possible when processing potatoes in high volumes through the alignment tubes. An interchangeable knife block enables potatoes to be cut into different shapes and sizes, such as: sticks, wedges and slices.

Using a smooth cutting surface, the system is claimed to result in less oil pick-up compared to a mechanically cut surface, reducing oil usage and fat content.

A blockage can be detected by means of a pressure transmitter or flowmeter installed in the switcher (eg, broken knives/product stuck in knife block). Uptime can be maintained as the switcher automatically rotates the revolver to a new alignment tube and knife block, allowing the operator to take out the clogged knife block and replace the knives.

Working with TNA experts to determine the correct configuration for a specific french fries processing line is highly recommended.
