The international manufacturer of processed potato products Lamb Weston \/ Meijer announced to expand its business in order to meet the world-wide increased demand for potato flakes. Therefore, the company expands its production by building a new factory in Kruiningen (NL). The new factory produces up to 30.000 tons of potato flakes a year, which is an significant increasement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In order to achieve this ambitious project, Lamb Weston \/ Meijer called in the experts of Tummers Food Processing Solutions. The Dutch world leader in the field of machines for the production of potato flakes equipped Lamb Weston \/ Meijer with a state of the art multiple drum\u2019s flake line, which contains all newly developed technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n

The most obvious new development is to be seen in the biggest drying surface ever made in the potato flakes industry, which equals a massive capacity. In addition Tummers adjusted the dryers\u2019 steam and condensing system to improve the drainage of condensate, which together with the new ultra-thin drum wall thickness provides a better heat transfer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Tummers Food Processing Solutions also made changes to its patented Autotrax, which allows for optimal hygiene during the processing of mashed potatoes to potato flakes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This ambitious project focusses on a sustainable plant for the future with low emissions and energy consumption, while still keeping up production capacity according to the market demands. All of the new features follow Lamb Weston \/ Meijers\u2019 sustainability programme, whom are considered world-wide front runners in this matter.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n
