As one of the largest suppliers of frozen retail, wholesale and foodservice potato products, and with a strong global clientele, automation and state-of-the-art technology features strongly at the firm’s multiple potato processing plants.
An analysis of SPINS data by the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA) and The Good Food Institute, showed that plant-based food dollar sales grew 6.6% in 2022 to $8 billion.
Key Technology is teaming up with Bem Brasil, the largest potato processor in Brazil, to add a new state-of-the-art potato strip processing line to Bem’s Perdizes facility. This multimillion dollar purchase includes six VERYX digital sorters, an ADR EXOS automatic defect removal system, three Sliver Sizer Removers and 57 Iso-Flo vibratory conveyors on a line designed to process 30 metric tons of frozen french fries per hour. Bem chose to partner with Key to maximize food safety and consistently meet final product quality specifications while improving operating efficiencies and increasing yield.
