The two 14-head CCW-RVE-GS models from Ishida incorporate gentle slopes and reduced angles throughout the weighers to ease the passage of the potatoes , importantly avoiding any bruising or damage .
“ We needed an advanced weighing solution to ensure that these premium potatoes retained their quality ,” explains Francisco Javier Pérez , Technical Director at Patatas Meléndez .
“ The Ishida Gentle Slope weighers are able to achieve this without any compromise on speed or accuracy . The weighers are also extremely reliable and easy to set up and operate .”
The microwavable potatoes – available in six different varieties for the tray range – provide a delicious and healthy meal accompaniment . Microwaving optimises the cooking process without affecting their taste , nutritional value or appearance .
The carefully selected small homogenous varieties are double washed with ozonised water and then undergo further inspection and sorting before being transferred via conveyor to the weigher . The trays are sealed with a double microperforated film that enhances product preservation , while the bags incorporate a safety valve that ensures perfect controlled cooking of the potatoes .
Established over 20 years , Patatas Meléndez combines potato growing , based on classic farming tradition and know-how , with cutting-edge technological innovation applied to the potato sorting and washing processes .
In its supply of potatoes , the company can guarantee their origin , where they are sown and the way they are grow , to deliver the best product to consumers for their enjoyment .
